What did Harley Brinsfield do that paved the way for Subway?
Harley Brinsfield Harley Brinsfield hosted "The Harley Show, Music out of Baltimore" on WBAL and later on WFBR from about 1952 to sometime in the 1970s. With his second wife, Arlene Levy Brinsfield, he opened Harley Submarine Sandwich Shops, which, largely due to the publicity generated by his show, became one of the first and largest local fast food franchises pre-dating both McDonald's and Subway by many years.
Lenox Avenue Lenox Avenue – also named Malcolm X Boulevard; both names are officially recognized – is the primary north–south route through Harlem in the upper portion of the New York City borough of Manhattan. This two-way street runs from Farmers' Gate at Central Park North (110th Street) to 147th Street. Its traffic is figuratively described as "Harlem's heartbeat" by Langston Hughes in his poem "Juke Box Love Song". The IRT Lenox Avenue Line runs under the entire length of the street, serving the New York City Subway's trains .
