The G train’s extension to Church Street is just about underway and the signs are going up. Ironically, I found myself yesterday at the 9th St/4th Ave station and was taken aback by the G train signs and I actually waited about ten minutes on the track for the G train when I gave up and go on an F to go the one stop to Smith 9th – now I see it actually doesn’t go into effect until Sunday. – Brownstoner

I think the funny thing is that someone who lives 10 blocks from Studio B could be any judge of the sound that came from inside the place. I still don't get why there's so much venom towards the neighbors who wanted to not have dance music blasting in their house.
