With apologies to Gertrude Stein and Oakland, there is no there there any longer by what we have known for years as the 7 extension just beyond Gate E. The extension has been disconnected, torn down, the first of many structures on the premises slated to turn to dust and/or parking by April 2009.
As I imagine we’ll be saying plenty between now and then, I can’t believe it’s not there anymore.
