   Well, conductors (or shall I say the automated announcements) on the   
   Queens Blvd line no longer call 23rd / Ely Ave by the name on the tiles,   
   but call it Court Square / 23rd St, which in my opinion is more a function   
   of the transfer option to the crosstown line and the #7 than a name change   
   for geographical reasons...
