Pepsi presents: In association with Toyota Scion: BROOKLYN
British bank Barclays has put in a bid to rename Atlantic Avenue something much more proper than our Yankee rubbish:
If a $4 million deal is approved on Wednesday, the nexus of subway stops at Atlantic Avenue, Pacific Street and Flatbush Avenue in Downtown Brooklyn will add an additional name to its already lengthy title: Barclays.
But hey, what about naming things after great American corporations?
“It’s not like Taco Bell saying it wants Grand Army Plaza or something like that,” said John H. Banks III, a board member since 2004.Would Mr. Banks oppose that idea?
“A year and a half ago? Yeah,” he said. “Tomorrow? No.”
Looking forward to Taco Bell Muy Grande Army Plaza.
