Apparently the stores on Gerritsen Avenue have a nifty new sign and a new name “Ave-U-Plaza”.

Interesting, not only because they didn’t want to spell out “avenue” but because the stores all have Gerritsen Avenue addresses, not one with an Avenue U address.

Is having a “Gerritsen Ave Plaza” kryptonite.
