Reply to comment by azspeedbullet in DOT misspells Jackie Robinson’s name on Jackie Robinson Parkway by KatzDeli

I always wonder about that. I didn’t have any experience with the parkway until it was renamed, so for me, it’s always been “the Jackie.”

It’s similar to the Tappan Zee. There’s no way I’m calling it the “Mario Cuomo.”

I still call it Tappan Zee and probably always will, but it's always Jackie Robinson for me cause that's what I grew up saying. I'm guessing folks who call it the Interboro are older

I learned to drive around the time they renamed the Triboro to the RFK, but it'll always be the Triboro to me
