Some times ingenuity and imagination sparks reinvention as this temporary renaming of New York City’s Spring Street Station attests. As The Gothamist reports, the Spring Street Station uptown was having some renovations done, including replacing the advertising panels with lit displays. In the interim, those advertising spaces had been boarded up with material you could use like a black board. And presto chango, a little bit of creative touch up on the subway tile, and Springsteen Station was born.
This bit of a musical take on subway stations has unleashed creativity. As one commenter mentions standard stations could be changed to “Whitney Houston St., Brian Wilson Ave., Michael Jackson Ave., Gram Parsons Blvd., Billy Ocean Ave., Aretha Franklin St.,
Grand Funk St., Jefferson Airplane St., Graham Nash Blvd., Chambers Brothers St.,. Avenue U2,… this could get goofy.”
