The B & O Railroad Potomac River Crossing is a historic site where a set of railroad bridges, originally built by the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, span the Potomac River between Sandy Hook, Maryland and Harpers Ferry, West Virginia. The site was added to the National Register of Historic Places on February 14, 1978 for its significance in commerce, engineering, industry, invention, and transportation. With ==History== The original Harper's Ferry operated from 1733 until it was replaced by a timber covered road bridge in about 1824 at the confluence of the Potomac and Shenandoah Rivers.Note: Harwood (p. 44) states an opening date of 1829. Built in 1836–1837, the B&O;'s first crossing over the Potomac was an covered wood truss. It was the only rail crossing of the Potomac River until after the American Civil War. The single-track bridge, composed of six river spans plus a span over the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, was designed by Benjamin Henry Latrobe, II. In 1837 the Winchester and Potomac Railroad reached Harpers Ferry from the south, and Latrobe joined it to the B&O; line using a "Y" span. John Brown used the B&O; bridge at the beginning of his failed attempt to start a slave insurrection in Virginia and further south. The bridge was destroyed during the Civil War and replaced temporarily with a pontoon bridge. The two crossings today, which are on different alignments, are from the late 19th century and early 20th century. A steel Pratt truss and plate girder bridge was built in 1894 to carry the B&O; Valley Line (now the CSX Shenandoah Subdivision) toward Winchester, Virginia, along the Shenandoah River. This was complemented in 1930–1931 with a deck plate girder bridge that carried the B&O; Main Line (now the CSX Cumberland Subdivision) to Martinsburg, West Virginia. A rail tunnel, known as the Harpers Ferry Tunnel, was built at the same time as the 1894 bridge to carry the Valley Line through the Maryland Heights, eliminating a sharp curve. In the 1930s the western portal was widened during the construction of the second bridge to allow the broadest possible curve across the river. === Accident === On December 21, 2019, a CSX freight train derailed on the bridge, sending several cars into the river. There were no injuries and the bridge was later reopened. ==Gallery== File:CSX locomotives, Harpers Ferry Tunnel.jpg|West Portal of the Harpers Ferry Tunnel File:Potomac River Crossing after Hurricane Ida, Harpers Ferry, WV.jpg|View from the Split Rock overlook in 2021 ==See also== *Harpers Ferry National Historical Park *Harpers Ferry Historic District *John Brown's Raid on Harpers Ferry *List of bridges documented by the Historic American Engineering Record in Maryland *List of bridges documented by the Historic American Engineering Record in West Virginia *List of bridges on the National Register of Historic Places in Maryland *List of bridges on the National Register of Historic Places in West Virginia ==References== ==External links== * * * *, including photo in 1978, at Maryland Historical Trust Category:American Civil War sites in West Virginia Category:Baltimore and Ohio Railroad bridges Category:Bridges completed in 1851 Category:Railroad bridges on the National Register of Historic Places in Maryland Category:Railroad bridges on the National Register of Historic Places in West Virginia Category:Buildings and structures in Jefferson County, West Virginia Category:Buildings and structures in Washington County, Maryland Category:Bridges over the Potomac River Category:Harpers Ferry, West Virginia Category:Historic American Engineering Record in Maryland Category:Historic American Engineering Record in West Virginia Category:Jefferson County, West Virginia in the American Civil War Category:National Register of Historic Places in Jefferson County, West Virginia Category:Railroad bridges in Maryland Category:Railroad bridges in West Virginia Category:Transportation in Jefferson County, West Virginia Category:Transportation in Washington County, Maryland Category:Tourist attractions in Jefferson County, West Virginia Category:1851 establishments in Maryland Category:Steel bridges in the United States Category:Plate girder bridges in the United States Category:Pratt truss bridges in the United States Category:1851 establishments in Virginia Category:Interstate railroad bridges in the United States Category:Buildings and structures in Harpers Ferry, West Virginia |

B & O Railroad Viaduct is a historic structure in Bellaire, Ohio, listed in the National Register of Historic Places on June 22, 1976. ==History== ===Bridge=== The B&O; Railroad's first bridge across the Ohio River, built in 1857, served a rail line through Parkersburg, West Virginia. But the growing center of Chicago, Illinois, made a span between Benwood, West Virginia, and Bellaire more desirable. In 1865, the B&O; obtained the Central Ohio Railroad and later the Sandusky, Mansfield & Newark Railroad. These acquisitions linked Bellaire to the port of Sandusky on the shore of Lake Erie, and thence to Chicago. The proposal to build a bridge at Bellaire threatened a ferry business there, whose owners sought and obtained an injunction was filed in court. The railroad fought the injunction to the U.S. Supreme Court and won. Discussions into the building of the bridge began in the late 1860s and it was decided that the bridge would be a long-span wrought-iron-truss. The design of the bridge was handled by Jacob Linville, president of the Keystone Bridge Co., which manufactured its trusses. The bridge was completed in 1871. The approaches are made of cut sandstone blocks that elevate the rail line to the recommended height. The bridge itself consists of all wrought-iron trusswork resting on six cut stone piers sunk into the river bed. The bridge was featured in the 2010 film Unstoppable starring Denzel Washington and Chris Pine. Filming on the bridge in Bellaire ran from November 9 to 14, 2009.http://www.wtov9.com/news/21561836/detail.html ===Bridge spans=== thumb|left|The span in Benwood, West Virginia The spans to the bridge were completed in 1870. The Bellaire span contains 43 arched spans measuring wide and varying from in height over the roadways of downtown Bellaire. The span comes down from the north and curves at 6 degrees to the east. Each span contains 37 stones, representing the 37 states at the time of completion. The span in Benwood contains stone piers with iron truss-work supporting the railway above. The span comes in from the south and curves 270 degrees to the west. The span traverses several manufacturing sites and comes within feet of West Virginia Route 2. In total, the entire span contains of masonry, the piers and abutments contain . The bridge span is in length and the total cost was over $1,000,000. ==Historic uses== *Rail-related ==See also== *List of bridges documented by the Historic American Engineering Record in Ohio *List of bridges documented by the Historic American Engineering Record in West Virginia *Unstoppable (2010 film) ==Notes== ==External links== *Benwood Bridge at Bridgehunter *Benwood Bridge at Bridges & Tunnels * Category:National Register of Historic Places in Belmont County, Ohio Category:Railroad bridges on the National Register of Historic Places in Ohio Category:Railroad bridges in Ohio Category:Truss bridges in the United States Category:Historic American Engineering Record in Ohio Category:Historic American Engineering Record in West Virginia Category:National Register of Historic Places in Marshall County, West Virginia Category:Railroad bridges on the National Register of Historic Places in West Virginia Category:Bridges completed in 1871 Category:Baltimore and Ohio Railroad bridges Category:Bridges over the Ohio River Category:Viaducts in the United States Category:Wrought iron bridges in the United States Category:Bridges in Belmont County, Ohio Category:Buildings and structures in Marshall County, West Virginia Category:1871 establishments in Ohio Category:1871 establishments in West Virginia Category:Interstate railroad bridges in the United States |

B is the second extended play by South Korea-based Thai rapper and singer BamBam. It was released on January 18, 2022. == Background and release == After starting working on a new album in May 2021, BamBam announced it on December 13. The release was preceded by the single "Who Are You" on December 28, which saw him collaborate with Kang Seul-gi of Red Velvet and for which he was credited as a composer, lyricist, producer and mixing engineer. B was published on January 18, 2022 along with the music video of "Slow Mo". The title of the record is a reference to the singer's name, and, as there are two versions of the album (pink and yellow), the letter gets doubled to form his initials, "BB". == Music and lyrics == B tells the story of the mysterious, changing and colorful world of BamBam, and consists of six tracks: BamBam is credited as a lyricist for all songs, with the exception of "Subliminal". At the press conference of the album, the singer said: "The concept, as I have already mentioned, is my personal world. I have put my colors and my stories in this album. So, when you listen to it, you will understand what BamBam is thinking". Through B, which contrasts with Ribbon's jubilant atmospheres, he wants people to get to know him beyond the cheerful side and to know what he means to say through his music. The extended play opens with "Intro (Satellites)", which, after a hypnotic and psychedelic beginning, switches to a trap beat before the second verse, and in which is BamBam's alter ego to speak. The two following tracks, "Who Are You" and "Slow Mo", are connected to each other. "Who Are You" is a sentimental indie-pop song, built on drum beats and acoustic guitar sounds, which shows a more sober side than "Ribbon". In it, the singer embraces the deepest reflections and insights that life has to offer, highlighting BamBam's awareness that he has new chances working as a soloist, and the opportunities to find his true identity. Lyrically, it's a conversation between two lovers who have drifted apart with time due to the gradual evolution and change of their personalities, and highlights the differences between falling in love and falling in love with the idea of love. The theme of the song is visually rendered in the music video through the use of reflections, mirrors and mazes. While "Who Are You" narrates of the feeling of being manipulated, but not negatively, by one's strongest alter ego, "Slow Mo" talks about accepting it, merging with it, and influencing each other to define your own personality; the hip hop beat harmonizes with the indie base and pop topline in a mid-tempo production. Both songs were written a year and a half to two before release. In "Subliminal", a trap R&B; track entirely in English, BamBam alludes to a complicated situation with a partner and sings that he is tired of the subliminal messages he receives. "Let Me Love You" is a romantic pop song written from the point of view of a person who cares deeply about their lover and wants to share their difficulties. Dedicated to fans, it's an extension of "Look So Fine" from the previous EP. The pop-rock "Ride or Die" closes the album. == Critical reception == Rolling Stone india called "Who Are You" "a turning point in BamBam's career, providing listeners with a nuanced understanding of his artistry", in which he "reestablishes his artistic identity through a euphonious performance laced with golden harmonizations and raspy renders", contrasted by Seulgi's "breathy, dulcet vocals." EnVi Media found that, compared to Ribbon, B shows the versatility of BamBam as a soloist thanks to a completely different sound. Rachel Collucci of The Kraze commented: "BamBam does a great job of showcasing a different side of himself, a vulnerability that presents itself in the lyrics of his songs and their performances. [...] All in all, BamBam has added another solid collection of songs to his discography. He continues to shine creatively and tell the story of who he is, a story that we will never get tired of listening to." == Commercial performance == Upon release, B debuted at #7 in South Korea on the Gaon Weekly Album Chart, rising to #5 the following week. "Slow Mo" entered the Gaon Download Chart at #4, while, back in December, "Who Are You" ranked #28. B ranked seventh on the Gaon Monthly Album Chart for January 2022 with copies sold. == Track listing == == Charts == Weekly chart performance for B Chart (2022) Peak position South Korean Albums (Gaon) 5 ==References== ==External links== * * * at ManiaDB * Category:2022 EPs Category:Korean-language EPs Category:BamBam albums |

The B was a streetcar line in Los Angeles, California. It was operated by the Los Angeles Railway from 1920 to 1948, originally running from Ramona Boulevard and Miller Street in East Los Angeles to Ascot Avenue and 51st Street. ==History== ===Brooklyn and Ascot Lines (1895–1911)=== The first Brooklyn line was built in 1895 by the Los Angeles Consolidated Railway as a horsecar road. It terminated at the intersection of Brooklyn Avenue and Evergreen Avenue. The line was electrified the following year and rerouted downtown. In 1902 the route was bought by the Pacific Electric Railway to be standard gauged, but never was. In 1908, the Brooklyn Avenue Line ran from Arcade Depot to Evergreen Cemetery via 5th Street, Main Street, Macy, Pleasant Avenue, Bridge, and Brooklyn Avenue. Following the Great Merger of 1911, control of the route returned to the Los Angeles Railway. They extended the route north and east along Evergreen and Wabash Avenues to the city limits in 1915. ===Expansion and later removal (1911–1949)=== The line was rerouted on May 9, 1920 and given the letter designation B the following year. Tracks on 9th Street were taken over by the N Line and the remaining service was merged with the Ascot Line, a previously unconnected route which ran by way of Main Street, 12th Street, Hooper Avenue, a private right-of-way alongside the Santa Monica Air Line, and Ascot Avenue. (A section of this, between Adams Boulevard and 41st Street, has since been filled in.) In 1924, rush hour trips were extended northeast along the newly built Harrison Street (later Ramona Boulevard, and later still City Terrace Drive) to Alma Street in East Los Angeles. Completion of the Macy Street Bridge in April 1926 allowed through- routing to Brooklyn Heights. The line began serving Union Station upon its opening in 1939. The final extension of the line was north to City Terrace and Miller Street on March 13, 1931. Streetcars were replaced with trolleybuses on December 5, 1948. ==Sources== ==External links== * B Line Archives — Pacific Electric Railway Historical Society * Category:Los Angeles Railway routes Category:Eastside Los Angeles Category:Railway services introduced in 1920 Category:Railway lines closed in 1949 Category:1920 establishments in California Category:1948 disestablishments in California |

The B Sixth Avenue Express is a rapid transit service in the B Division of the New York City Subway. Its route emblem, or "bullet", is colored , since it uses the IND Sixth Avenue Line in Manhattan. The B operates only on weekdays between Brighton Beach in Brooklyn and 145th Street in Harlem, Manhattan, making express stops in Brooklyn along the BMT Brighton Line and in Manhattan along Sixth Avenue, and making local stops along Central Park West. During rush hours, the B is extended beyond 145th Street to and from Bedford Park Boulevard in the Bronx, making local stops along Grand Concourse. Prior to the B ran almost exclusively in Manhattan, as the BB, from 168th Street in Washington Heights during rush hours to 34th Street–Herald Square in Midtown Manhattan. Upon the opening of the Chrystie Street Connection, the B started running via the BMT West End Line (local) and BMT Fourth Avenue Line (express) in Brooklyn. A short-lived B service ran via the BMT Broadway Line in Manhattan and the BMT West End Line in Brooklyn from 1986 to 1988 due to Manhattan Bridge renovation, while B service traveled the pre-1967 route between 168th and 34th Streets. After 1989, the B north of 47th–50th Streets–Rockefeller Center used the IND Eighth Avenue Line to 168th Street on weekdays, and the IND 63rd Street Line on evenings and weekends. Late night service ran as a shuttle on the West End Line. Weekday service was rerouted to the Concourse Line in 1998, while off-peak service along 63rd Street ceased in 2000. The B started using the Brighton Line in 2004 after work on the north side of the Manhattan Bridge was completed. == History == The designation B was originally intended for express trains originating from the Washington Heights neighborhood of Manhattan and operating in Midtown Manhattan on the IND Sixth Avenue Line. However, the original B service, beginning with the opening of the Sixth Avenue Line on December 15, 1940, ran as a rush-hour only local service between 168th Street–Washington Heights and 34th Street–Herald Square. This service was designated BB, conforming with the Independent Subway System (IND) convention using double letters to indicate local services. === Chrystie Street Connection === File:B Train (1967-1979).svg 1967–1979 bullet The Chrystie Street Connection and the express tracks of the Sixth Avenue Line opened on November 26, 1967, radically changing service. BB trains were combined with the former service, which ran on the BMT West End Line in Brooklyn and the BMT Broadway Line in Manhattan. This created a through service from 168th Street to Coney Island–Stillwell Avenue via the Sixth Avenue Line express tracks and the Manhattan Bridge. During middays, service to and from Brooklyn terminated at West 4th Street. During late night hours and Sundays when B service did not operate, TT shuttles continued to operate on the West End Line. On July 1, 1968, the B was rerouted to terminate at 57th Street in Midtown Manhattan during middays and evenings, extending to 168th Street only during rush hours. The West End Line shuttles were also made part of the B route. On June 1, 1976, the New York City Transit Authority (NYCTA) announced changes in subway service that were expected to save $12.6 million annually and were the third phase of the agency's plan to realign subway service to better reflect ridership patterns and reduced ridership. As part of the changes, which took effect on August 30, 1976, B service began running between 57th Street and Coney Island during all times, replacing K service, and alternate B trains commenced operating between 168th Street and Coney Island during rush hours. On December 14, 1976, the NYCTA announced severe cuts in bus and subway service in order to cut its budget by $30 million over the following 18 months in order to achieve a balanced budget, at the request of the Emergency Financial Control Board. As part of the cuts, late night B service was cut back to running as a shuttle between 36th Street and Coney Island via the West End Line. This change took effect on August 27, 1977. Initially, the 57th Street station was to be closed during late nights. However, a B shuttle also operated during late nights, running between 47th–50th Streets–Rockefeller Center and 57th Street. The NYCTA approved four changes in subway service on April 27, 1981, including an increase in B service. The changes were made as part of the $1 million, two-year Rapid Transit Sufficiency Study, and were expected to take place as early as 1982, following public hearings and approval by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) board. As part of the changes, midday B service was going to be increased, replacing AA service. B service on the West End Line and Fourth Avenue Line express was to be supplemented by a new rush hour T train, running between Bay Parkway and Chambers Street on the Nassau Street Line. On June 1, 1983, the NYCTA proposed changes to increase service along Sixth Avenue and better connecting the line to the Bronx and Queens. As part of the changes, B train service would run to 168th Street at all times, with service to 57th Street during non-rush hours replaced by a new H train running between 57th Street and World Trade Center. With the extension of B service to 168th Street, AA service would be eliminated. The changes would have gone into effect in spring or summer 1984, pending approval by the MTA board.

These closures severed the connection between the northern and southern portions of the route. B service was split into two different services starting on April 26, 1986, with an expected completion date of October 26, 1986. The closure of the bridge's north side tracks caused the return of pre-November 1967 service patterns, before the opening of the Chrystie Street Connection: The orange B duplicated the former BB service, and the yellow B imitated the old service. The northern B service ran via Sixth Avenue, using an orange bullet, between 34th Street-Herald Square and 168th Street during rush hours only. The southern B service ran via the bridge and BMT Broadway Line, using a yellow bullet. It ran from Coney Island-Stillwell Avenue and terminated at Astoria–Ditmars Boulevard rush hours; Queensboro Plaza middays, evenings, and weekends; and 36th Street late nights as a shuttle. Service to 57th Street and Grand Street was replaced by an S shuttle running between these two points via the Sixth Avenue local. On May 24, 1987, evening and weekend Broadway Line B service was cut back from Queensboro Plaza to 57th Street–Seventh Avenue. Through B service on the Sixth Avenue Line resumed December 11, 1988, when the Manhattan Bridge's north side tracks reopened. Due to increased demand for Sixth Avenue service along Central Park West, B trains were extended local to 168th Street on middays and evenings, partially replacing the discontinued K service. During late nights, the B continued to operate as the West End Shuttle from 36th Street to Coney Island. B service operated to 57th Street during weekends and N service was increased to replace B service to Ditmars Boulevard. In May 1989, Sunday afternoon service was increased to run every 10 minutes instead of every 12 minutes. With the opening of the IND 63rd Street Line on October 29, 1989, B service was extended from 57th Street to 21st Street–Queensbridge on weekends. In addition, the span of through-service on weekends between Brooklyn and Manhattan was increased from 17 to 19 hours. The last Brooklyn-bound through train was the train leaving 57th Street at 1:12 a.m. as opposed to the one leaving at 12:11 a.m., and the last Manhattan-bound through-train was the train leaving Coney Island at 5:01 a.m. Saturdays or 5:21 a.m. Sundays, not the 5:42 a.m. Saturday train or the 6:21 a.m. Sunday train. Weekday service was also slightly modified, with Stillwell Avenue-bound trains running local along Fourth Avenue in Brooklyn until 8 a.m. instead of 7 a.m. On September 30, 1990, evening service was rerouted to 21st Street–Queensbridge to replace Q service with A service running local between 145th and 168th Streets in its place. B trains stopped operating between 47th–50th Streets–Rockefeller Center and 168th Street between 8:15 p.m. and 6:45 a.m., saving the NYCTA $1.35 million annually. Also on this date, because N service resumed running via the Manhattan Bridge, B trains began skipping DeKalb Avenue. ====1990s==== The north side of the Manhattan Bridge closed on middays and weekends from April 30, 1995 until November 12, 1995, during which B trains ran only between Pacific Street and Coney Island–Stillwell Avenue, running local on the BMT West End Line and express on the BMT Fourth Avenue Line. From February 22, 1998 to May 22, 1999, B service was cut to 57th Street on evenings and weekends due to track and tunnel reconstruction of the IND 63rd Street Line. Service on that line was replaced by a shuttle to the BMT Broadway Line which ran every 20 minutes. The 57th Street station was closed from 12:30 to 6 a.m. daily during the project. The project had initially been slated to be completed in fall 1999, but normal service resumed in May 1999, ahead of schedule. 75px 1979-1988, 1998-2005 rush-hour service bullet The B and the switched northern terminals on March 1, 1998, ending the connection between the B and Washington Heights. The B was routed onto the IND Concourse Line to Bedford Park Boulevard during rush hours. Midday service terminated at 145th Street. The change was made to reduce crowding on the C and to reduce passenger confusion about the C's route. ====2000s==== On November 5, 2000, B service was taken off of the IND 63rd Street Line for signal and track work. It ran along the Eighth Avenue Line to 145th Street (terminating at Bedford Park Boulevard during rush hours) at all times except late nights. On July 22, 2001, the Manhattan Bridge's north side tracks closed and B service over the Manhattan Bridge was split into two services, similar to the 1986 changes. This time, the southern half of the route that ran via the Broadway Line was named the . B service ran on weekdays only, from 34th Street to Bedford Park Boulevard during rush hours and from 34th Street to 145th Street during middays and evenings. The Manhattan Bridge was fully reopened to subway service on February 22, 2004. B and D trains were once again extended through Grand Street station and over the bridge's north tracks into Brooklyn. However, rather than returning to the West End Line which it had served in some form since 1967, the B now ran express on the BMT Brighton Line to Brighton Beach (replacing the <Q>) in order to combine two weekday- only services, while the D replaced the B on the West End Line, running express on the BMT Fourth Avenue Line in Brooklyn. B service now operated between Brighton Beach and Bedford Park Boulevard during rush hours and Brighton Beach and 145th Street on weekday middays and evenings. ===2004 to present=== From September 14, 2009 to October 3, 2011, B trains ran local in Brooklyn due to station renovations on the Brighton Line. In July 2019, the MTA introduced a proposal to end late evening service. Instead, B service would end around 9:30 PM, which it previously did prior to July 2008. In their proposal, the MTA noted that service often ended early on weeknights to accommodate planned work. From March 2020 to June 8, 2020, the B was temporarily suspended due to lack of ridership and train crew availability caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. From December 30, 2021 to January 19, 2022, B service was again suspended due to a shortage of crew members exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. == Route == === Service pattern === The following table shows the lines used by the B, with shaded boxes indicating the route at the specified times: Line From To Tracks Times Times Line From To Tracks weekdays rush hours IND Concourse Line Bedford Park Boulevard 155th Street local IND Concourse Line 145th Street 145th Street all IND Eighth Avenue Line 135th Street 59th Street–Columbus Circle local IND Sixth Avenue Line Seventh Avenue/53rd Street Broadway–Lafayette Street express Chrystie Street Connection Grand Street Grand Street all Manhattan Bridge Manhattan Bridge Manhattan Bridge north BMT Brighton Line DeKalb Avenue Brighton Beach express === Stations === For a more detailed station listing, see the articles on the lines listed above. 20px|B service Stations Subway transfers Connections/Other Notes The Bronx The Bronx The Bronx The Bronx The Bronx Concourse Line Concourse Line Concourse Line Concourse Line Concourse Line Some northbound a.m. rush hour trips terminate at this station Bx12 Select Bus Service Skipped by trains terminating at Kingsbridge Road (IRT Jerome Avenue Line) Bx6 Select Bus Service Manhattan Manhattan Manhattan Manhattan Manhattan (IND Eighth Avenue Line) Northern terminal for all midday and evening trains Eighth Avenue Line Eighth Avenue Line Eighth Avenue Line Eighth Avenue Line Eighth Avenue Line M60 Select Bus Service to LaGuardia Airport M86 Select Bus Service M79 Select Bus Service (IRT Broadway–Seventh Avenue Line) Sixth Avenue Line Sixth Avenue Line Sixth Avenue Line Sixth Avenue Line Sixth Avenue Line (IND Queens Boulevard Line) 20px|alt=Elevator access to mezzanine only (IRT Flushing Line at ) (IRT Broadway–Seventh Avenue Line at , daytime only) (BMT Broadway Line at , daytime only) (42nd Street Shuttle at , daytime only) (IND Eighth Avenue Line at , daytime only) (BMT Broadway Line) M34 / M34A Select Bus Service PATH at Amtrak, LIRR, NJ Transit at Pennsylvania Station (IND Eighth Avenue Line) PATH at (IRT Lexington Avenue Line at ) Chrystie Street Branch Chrystie Street Branch Chrystie Street Branch Chrystie Street Branch Chrystie Street Branch Brooklyn Brooklyn Brooklyn Brooklyn Brooklyn Brighton Line Brighton Line Brighton Line Brighton Line Brighton Line (BMT Fourth Avenue Line) (IRT Eastern Parkway Line) LIRR Atlantic Branch at Atlantic Terminal (BMT Franklin Avenue Line) B82 Select Bus Service == References == == External links == * MTA NYC Transit – B Sixth Avenue Express * * # # Category:New York City Subway services |

B is a service on the S-train network in Copenhagen. It runs between Farum and Høje Taastrup and provides stopping services on the S-train system's Farum radia and Tåstrup radial. B is one of the base services on the network, running every 20 minutes from about 5:00 to 1:00 every day, and every 10 minutes between about 6:00 to 19:00 on weekdays. On Friday and Saturday nights there is also a 30 minutes service throughout the night. ==History== Since the first part of the Taastrup radial opened in 1953, letter B has been used for its principal service. Before that the characteristic of service B was that it was the stopping trains to Holte.

In 1979 a separate daytime reinforcement service Bb was created; it ran every 20 minutes with a 10-minute offset to service B such that the Tåstrup radial effectively had a 10-minute frequency. Under the timetable doctrine followed in those years, a service letter such as B could not be used for more than exactly 3 trains an hour, so a separate service designation was needed for these daytime supplements. They later changed their name to L and then to B+, and were finally folded into B with the 2007 timetable.

B 018, also pronounced in French B Zero Dix-Huit, is a nightclub that was established in 1994 in Beirut, Lebanon. Today, by staying true to its claim, "A Sound Ritual", B 018 offers an array of nights. From live bands to 80s night during the week and international and local house DJs on the weekends, the club feeds everything heart and ears desire. ==History== In the 1980s while Lebanon was still amidst war, Naji Gebran believed in music as therapy to ease the stress of the war.BO18, Beirut Night Life, Beirut night clubs, lebanon night clubs, night clubs in beirut He started organizing parties, under the name Musical Therapy, at his chalet.Ryder, Bethan.

Angela Roxanna Boyd (born March 9, 1968), known by the stage name B Angie B, is a rhythm and blues vocalist and dancer. Boyd was notable as a backing vocalist and protégé for MC Hammer, in the late 1980s and early 1990s. In 1991, she recorded for Hammer's Bust It Records label. She also released a charting album and three singles of her own with the label. Subsequent albums were less successful commercially, but Boyd continued occasionally releasing music in the 2000s and 2010s. AllMusic credits Boyd with exploring neo soul musical aesthetics within urban contemporary music, and described her as a forerunner to other African American female soul singers such as Mary J. Blige, Erykah Badu and Jill Scott. == Early life and education == Boyd was born and raised in the small rural town of Morton, Mississippi. She grew up singing and honing her vocals in a local church. She graduated from Morton High School in the Scott County School District in 1984. A few years later, she and her best friend made a decision to move out west to pursue a singing/music career together. The friend ended up getting pregnant and Boyd relocated to Oakland, California. It wasn't long after this relocation that Boyd was discovered by producer (and future husband) James Earley, and brought to MC Hammer's attention that Angie was a vocalist. Hammer is also the one credited with giving Boyd her stage name B Angie B, when Hammer said "just be Angie" one day. == Music career and personal life == B Angie B sang on "Pump It Up (Here's the News)" from MC Hammer's Let's Get It Started album (the version re-released on Capitol Records in 1988), and she became a backup singer during his concert tours. During one tour, she briefly dated Mike Tyson. Her next opportunity came in 1989 with Hammer's female rap trio Oaktown's 3.5.7. She added her vocals to their rap song "Juicy Gotcha Krazy" from the album Wild & Loose, and appeared in the music video with the group. In 1990, she continued to perform background vocals for Hammer during his successful Please Hammer Don't Hurt 'Em album and tour period. In early 1991, Hammer signed B Angie B to his Capitol-distributed Bust It Records imprint and soon her debut album was released, titled B Angie B. It was co-produced by Hammer and Felton Pilate, a former member of Con Funk Shun. In April 1991, the album debuted at number 11 on the Billboard Hot R&B;/Hip-Hop Songs charts. It peaked at number 133 on the Billboard 200.Joel Whitburn, The Billboard Albums. 6th edition, 2006, p. 72. The release of the album was led by the single "So Much Love", followed by two covers: "Sweet Thing" (originally by Rufus & Chaka Khan) and "I Don't Want to Lose Your Love" (originally by The Emotions). The latter was the album's biggest hit, reaching number 54 on the Billboard Hot 100.Joel Whitburn, Top Pop Singles. 12th edition, 2009, p. 68. B Angie B toured with Johnny Gill around the time of the album's release. In July 1991, she began dating Tyson again, while on tour with several Bust It musicians. She would later become a prominent witness in Tyson's 1992 rape trial."Rapper's Visit to See Tyson Causes Stir at Prison". Jet, May 11, 1992. (Google Books link) She also appeared in the Kid 'n Play farce Class Act and sang on the soundtrack's title track "Class Act (Work That Body)", which was also released as a music video. Late in 1991, Boyd left Capitol Records. Boyd released a second album in 1995 on the Bust It label (with an independent distributor). She dropped the first "B" from her name, performing as simply Angie B. The album release was preceded by the single "It's My Life". Neither the album nor the single charted. Nevertheless, critics identified her as a forerunner of neo soul R&B;, which became more prominent over the course of the 1990s and beyond. Alex Henderson of AllMusic noted: "B Angie B did her part to bring soul music to a hip-hop/urban contemporary generation... She was doing that type of thing before the rise of Mary J. Blige, D'Angelo, Erykah Badu or Jill Scott." After 2000, B Angie B (then amicably divorced from James Earley) returned to Mississippi. Boyd had one child, a daughter, with Earley. Her 1991 solo debut B Angie B was reissued in mid-2005 via Capitol Records. It included a bonus DVD, along with previous releases with Oaktown's 3.5.7. In the summer of 2009, she released new music via her Myspace account (myspace.com/bangiebmusic), including a remake of "Ring My Bell". In 2013, B Angie B signed a recording contract with Monarchy Records, a division of the Spectra Music Group. Her most recent album "Stronger Than Ever" was released on April 22, 2013. This project is a collaboration with Italian DJs Max Mazzeo and Dirty Old Boyz. ==References== Category:1968 births Category:Living people Category:American contemporary R&B; singers Category:People from Morton, Mississippi Category:21st-century American women singers Category:21st-century American singers |

The B Avenue NE Historic District is a nationally recognized historic district located in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013. At the time of its nomination it consisted of 210 resources, which included 167 contributing buildings, and 43 non-contributing buildings. This is a working and middle-class neighborhood northeast of the campus of Coe College. It includes single-family dwellings, a church, and a school. The buildings are representative of various architectural styles and vernacular building forms popular from c. 1875 to 1963. The oldest house was built in 1873 and moved here in the early 20th century. Bungalow, Craftsman, and American Foursquare houses are dominant. A simple side-tower church, originally Central Park Presbyterian Church, was built in 1904. For the most part, architect-designed buildings are a rarity here. The houses are designs from pattern books. Cedar Rapids architect William J. Brown designed Benjamin Franklin Junior High School (1923). ==References== Category:National Register of Historic Places in Cedar Rapids, Iowa Category:Historic districts in Cedar Rapids, Iowa Category:Historic districts on the National Register of Historic Places in Iowa |

The B B Chemical Company is an historic office and industrial building at 784 Memorial Drive in Cambridge, Massachusetts. It was built in 1937 for the Boston Blacking Company, an adhesive manufacturer whose most famous brand name was Bostik, to a design by Coolidge, Shepley, Bulfinch & Abbott, and is a prominent local example of Streamline Moderne architecture. From 1979 to 1996, it served as the headquarters of the Polaroid Corporation. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982 under the incorrect name "B and B Chemical Company". It is now owned by The Bulfinch Companies of Needham, Massachusetts. ==Description and history== The former B B Chemical Company building is located in the Cambridgeport neighborhood of Cambridge, on the east side of Memorial Drive between River Street and Pleasant Street Extension. It is a basically rectangular structure, with a four-story central section flanked by three-storey wings. It has a frame of steel and concrete, and is mainly faced in buff brick. The central section is recessed from the wings, but a projecting cornice on the wings extends over the recess area to provide a curved canopy over the entrance. The central part of the center section is even taller, with a projecting rounded window bay topped by a clock face.

B Bar H Ranch consisted of approximately 899 residents as of the 2010 US Census. ==Historic beginning== thumb|left|Original B Bar H Ranch guest area - heated pool and sun bathing facilities During World War II, the B-bar-H Ranch was one of the Southern California Desert Cities area's most exclusive winter resorts. It was a place where prominent politicians, businessmen and bankers would socialize with Hollywood stars, writers and musicians. The Ranch was named after Hollywood mogul Lucienne Hubbard and his son-in-law Charles Bender. The two men purchased the land in 1927 from the Southern Pacific Land Company. Lucienne Hubbard was a writer and helped promote the B Bar H Ranch and surrounding areas' natural mineral hot springs. The Ranch soon became an exclusive by invitation only resort, and in 1937, the B Bar H Ranch opened its resort to the public. A 1935 ad states "Spend this Winter at the B Bar H Ranch, a California desert resort of the finest character. The West has no finer, more delightful place for winter relaxation than the B Bar H. Located in the midst of the desert beauties, you'll find quiet and rest, or thrilling sports and diversions...tennis, swimming, hunting, golf, hiking, camping, sun-bathing... and above all, exhilarating desert riding. Individual cottages... with the appointments and comforts of the finest hotels, but true to the traditions of the West. Select, friendly clientele. Opens Oct. 1st. B bar H Ranch in the Coachella Valley near Palm Springs." ==Celebrity guests== The B Bar H Ranch opened to the public in 1937 which was prior to the founding of Desert Hot Springs in 1941. Hollywood celebrities who visited and helped make the resort town of Palm Springs fashionable also vacationed, stayed and played at the B Bar H Ranch. Palm Springs Historical Society records indicate ranch celebrity guests included many famous people from the Golden Age of Hollywood: Bob Hope, Ray Milland, Bing Crosby, Ronald Colman, Tyrone Power, Joan Crawford, Lionel Barrymore, Irene Dunne, Eleanor Powell, Olivia de Havilland, Joan Fontaine, Gary Cooper, Marlene Dietrich, Robert Taylor, Joseph Selznick, and Darryl Zanuck. Newspaper clippings from the mid-1940s mention gymkhana events included not only calf roping and horse races—saddle and bareback, but also broomstick polo. At a Thanksgiving holiday gymkhana, guest Peter Lorre, vacationing with his wife along with acting couple Phil Harris and Alice Faye, served as the honorary arena director. ==Modern-day ranch== thumb|right|Bellini - Mid-Century Modern Home In 1940, the Ranch was purchased by Jay Kasler for $42,000, and Kasler closed the Ranch to the public in 1950. In 1978, Lenore "Lee" High purchased the Ranch. Since that time, the Ranch's land has been divided into quarter- acre lots, which were sold and developed. In 1948, Mary Pickford, a Canadian- born American film actress and producer, built a 7-bedroom, 8-bathroom, and 6,050-square-foot estate on 2.12 acres at the B Bar H Ranch where she lived and then later sold. Pickford was one of the most powerful women who ever worked in Hollywood. The property is now renovated and is available as AirBnb retreat! In 1967, developers requested the B Bar H Ranch be made into a mobile home park. The request was denied by the Riverside County Board of Supervisors for the unincorporated area consisting of 550 lots. In 1972, Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) Post 1534 was founded by Joseph Lamar Stone and resides at 1 Clubhouse Drive on the south side of the B Bar H Ranch. The Post is housed inside the B Bar H Ranch's original guest area built in the early-to-mid 1900s. Mary Pickford donated the building to the VFW. It is one of the last VFW Posts in Southern California's Coachella Valley serving Riverside County Desert Cities. This includes and is not limited to Palm Springs, Cathedral City, Desert Hot Springs, La Quinta, Indio, Rancho Mirage, Palm Desert, Indian Wells, unincorporated County areas of Sky Valley, Desert Edge, B Bar H Ranch and other surrounding locations. There are approximately 35,000 veterans within the Coachella Valley. In 2005, Mark Bodon, a Palm Springs High School graduate, started a Company named Modern Living Spaces, aiming to build unique and sophisticated homes. By 2006, Mr. Bodon built 56 mid-century modern homes on the B Bar H Ranch land. He named the houses after cocktails: Manhattan, Cosmopolitan, Gibson, Brandy Alexander and Bellini. The Bellini was designed using the architectural specifications provided by architect Marshall Roath who on occasion visited a Bellini home to see the final work. The original home went up for sale in August 2020. ==Historical landmark== thumb|left|B Bar H Ranch Arch The B Bar H Ranch Arch was built in 1929 and still stands today. It is one of the last vestiges of the old dude ranch. The B Bar H Ranch Arch located at Bubbling Wells Road and El Serape Trail, marks what used to be the entrance to one of Southern California desert's finest winter getaways. The B Bar H Ranch Arch is a local artifact for surrounding cities. The Arch recently was the cover of a publication named Desert Hot Springs written by the Desert Hot Springs Historical Society. The publication identifies the Ranch and its Arch to be a part of Desert Hot Springs history. The Ranch, its history and its artifacts, is a historical part of Riverside County Unincorporated. The Palm Springs Historical Society first documented the Ranch's historical events dating back to its beginning in 1927. In 1929, the B Bar H Ranch Arch was designed and built for horses and horse back riders. The Arch is not designed for today's car and truck traffic. As reported in The Desert Sun from Palm Springs, California on July 29, 2007, someone driving near the Arch hit (and run) the stone structure, causing significant damage. The residents of the North side of the B Bar H Ranch gathered to make the repairs. ==External links== * *VFW Post 1534 ==References== Category:Coachella Valley Category:Unincorporated communities in Riverside County, California |
