13th Avenue, between 36th and 60th Streets, has been renamed Raoul Wallenberg Way. Wow! The most famous Jewish street in chutz has a new name. Will anyone ever get used to stop calling it 13th Avenue and forever henceforth always refer to the street as Raoul Wallenberg Way?
Dont know. But theres a street in toronto that been called this since i can remember- so thats at least one thing brooklyn didnt have first. haha. lol
I call it 13th avenue because its bad luck. I lose too much money there!
Probably will never happen.
It took about 2 – 3 years for people to switch from saying the “Interboro” to the “Jackie”(Robinson).
I think this name (and not to disrespect him) is too long for that change to happen.
NOBODY I know, for example, calls the Triboro the RFK Bridge. Don’t get offended if you do— chances are I just don’t know you.
But there’s also a Raoul Wallenberg Way across from the Holocaust Museum in Washington. So Brooklyn’s waaaaaay late.
Is the Swedish Ambassador going to be invited to Borough Park to come & attend the official naming ceremony?
