In: This station is now underground again. There are large, light green tiles covering all the walls and the columns on the platform. This station has a 1 platform, 2 track layout for trains in each direction. There’s no tiling for the station name; it’s just painted on some of the tiles. The mezzanine is dimly lit but gets some sunlight. There is a an interesting sign saying “subway” hanging in the mezzanine as well. The station house is a freestanding structure at street level, and the tracks are just one level below.

A Train - Grant Ave. (Day 4, stop #171)
Out: There are some two story houses right next the to the station that look nice and well-maintained, but some other ones at a short distance away look to be in worse shape. This stop is now back in Brooklyn , and the neighborhood seems much more black, but there are still some South Asians around. It is apparent that this neighborhood is in a state of flux.
