What's a great block without a great tag line?
Broadway is "the Great White Way."
The Avenue des Champs-Élysées is known in France as 'La plus belle avenue du monde'
("The most beautiful avenue in the world").
A portion of Michigan Avenue in Chicago is known as "The Miracle Mile."
And here we are, abject and tag line-less.
Let's fix that now.
With the Inaugural 39(8/9) Tag Line Contest.
Come up with a epithet, a rhyme, a bon mot, if you will, about our small asphalt of heaven.
For starters I suggest this homage to Hitchcock:
39. Steps away from everywhere.
Or, here's one with a Southern twang:
Nothin' could be finer than to be a 39-er.
Bold and defiant. Proud and assertive:
39. Don't mock the block.
Throwing down the gauntlet.

Not to get too meta but might it be best to co-opt something from 39(8/9) and for that I suggest.... SHIT'S COMING....
ReplyDeletei suggest "39th street: suck it, 38th street!"
ReplyDelete39. Too filthy for the pigeons.
ReplyDelete39. You will appreciate every other block more after visiting it.
ReplyDeleteA numerological reference
ReplyDelete"39: Not quite prime"
Or maybe something more direct
"39: Lower your expectations"
