Back when my great-grandparents (my mother’s maternal grandparents) lived in Midwood, we would get off at Exit 9 and ride the service road to Ocean Avenue. From there, we made a right on Ocean, drove north to Avenue N, and made a left. They lived between Ocean and East 19th Street.

Exit 7A:
The MTA’s Stillwell Yard:
