B R O O K L Y N! Spike Lee has done it again, and this time he deserves a congratulations. If you are a real movie head like myself then you've seen Spike Lee’s film ‘Do the Right Thing’, now that phrase will be forever immortalized in the streets of Brooklyn, NY. Recently the Brooklyn Community Board 3 has voted to change the street where the movie (‘Do the Right Thing’) was filmed , to rename the Bed-Stuy block of Stuyvesant Avenue and Quincy Street to ‘Do the Right Thing’ Way. Although the City Council has the final say on this issue, if the street renaming goes through, this will come in time for the 25th anniversary. Legislation to change the street name has been introduced, but Councilman Robert Cortege was quoted as saying, "It's a bit complicated, because the City Council' standards for co-naming focus on people and organizations, not works of art. Nevertheless, I fully support this effort and will continue to work in every way I can to see the commemoration happen."
Let's hope the City Council approves this name change. Congratulations in advance to Spike Lee.
