Subway Station Not Rename Michael Jackson – The Hoyt-Schermerhorn Subway Station in Brooklyn was supposed to be renamed Michael Jackson in honor of the late pop star,but Transit officials in New York City have scrapped the idea.The site was used for Jackson’s “Bad” music video which was filmed back in 1987,but the city’s Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) scrapped the plan because they believe that tourists and commuters will be confused by the name-change.New York City Councilwoman Letitia James, who is pushing the campaign for the Jackson subway tribute said:
“Having Michael Jackson visit and moonwalk at this station was a huge deal not only for Brooklyn, but all of New York in the ’80s. And renaming this station in his honor would put it on the map and help ensure that people don’t forget.”
