   When I visited the Queens Museum, I misjudged the distance from the No. 7   
   subway and felt it would be too far to walk, especially given the hot   
   weather.  So I drove.  I thought a drive would be interesting anyway, as it   
   would let me see parts of Brooklyn,   
    try out the infamous Interboro Pky, and be easier.   
      
   Driving was murder.  Traffic in Brooklyn was jammed due to volume.  The   
   Interboro Pky was ok, but I knew when they said "sharp curve slow down" they   
   meant it and I was prepared, even if the other motorists sped through it.   
      
   I think the Interboro Pky was originally planned to connect to the Vz Bridge   
   or Belt Pky, eliminating the local mess thorugh Brooklyn, but it was never   
   built.   
      
   At the Museum, there was a skateboard festival nearby and the parking lot was   
   filled.   
      
   On the way home, I took the Grand Central Pky to the Triborough Br, and then   
   somehow to the GWB.  I luckily saw a tiny little sign to exit left for the GWB   
   connection.  Was the naming of the "Grand Central Pky" a ripoff of Grand   
   Central Terminal?  Why    
   was that particular parkway called "Grand"?  Why was it "Central"?   
      
   There were a few places I would've liked to have stopped along the way to   
   check out a neighborhood, even get some photos, but there was no parking.
