      It doesn’t feel nearly as rich in history as subways in those cities, alas – but once in a while you can find an old element, a bit of grime, or a long-gone detail that betrays its age and hints at stories.pic.twitter.com/DQ4lGVkJl6

      It’s also has a rare building on the surface – and it’s pretty nice, too.pic.twitter.com/7oDBNRzpGL

      But most important for me, at least, is the fact that it’s tiny. It’s “the oldest subway station in North America west of Chicago,” but it’s really just a straightforward, small subway station with two platforms.pic.twitter.com/HeKBVg1Rdd

      That’s what I like about it. It’s an unremarkable station, far away from the splashy/touristy SF celebrations of transit history – cable cars and vintage streetcars – which also (oddly) don’t connect to it.pic.twitter.com/Qsjvgrt1N7

      In a perfect world, there would be tons of tiny subway stations under San Francisco, serving us all. In that world, Forest Hill would not be distinctive enough to become a Designated Landmark.pic.twitter.com/ypGx5CC7Iv

      In the actual world, we only have eight sad Muni Metro stations that are unremarkable in all the wrong ways. And so, sometimes, I travel to Forest Hill, and imagine what could’ve been.pic.twitter.com/kjRzanxGwC

      (And note that San Francisco also has a parallel subway called BART with a few more stations that are actually *almost* brutalist-impressive – but BART covers the entire region, all started in the 1970s as well, and is kind of a whole different story.)

      (Also, I got shouted at via the P.A. system for taking photos of Montgomery Station today… but the disembodied angry voice referred to me as “a young man,” so it actually made me feel better.)

          Security always freaks out when you bring a pro(-looking) camera with you. I don’t know why.

          I think the whole area around Forest Hill station has a bit of magic to it, all along 7th Av/Laguna Honda. From the lot by Lawton, empty most of the year, surrounded by community gardens, pumpkins and Xmas trees at appropriate times... 1/

          Past the reservoir and water building, straddling the graceful upslope of Clarendon Av, then by the spectacular Forest Hill Christian Church http://foresthillchristianchurch.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/church.jpg …
