Rita writes Daily Heights: “I saw this on TV this morning… apparently our 7th Ave subway stop is one of the cleanest in the city. Who knew?

From the NY1 report: “Meanwhile, the cleanest stations were found to be St. George station on Staten Island and the Seventh Avenue stop in Park Slope. Both of those areas have residents with median annual incomes of between $45,000 and $50,000 … NYC Transit says it won’t comment on the report because it hasn’t seen it yet.”
