MTA To Name Station after Michael Jackson

..Or maybe not. The MTA has denied City Councilwoman Letitia Jame's request to rename or co-name the Hoyt-Schermerhorn station in Brooklyn (where MJ filmed Beat It in the '80's) in Jackson's honor. According to the NY POST, James (D-Brooklyn) said Metropolitan Transportation Authority officials even told her to "beat it," when she asked to hang a plaque at the station in honor of the late King of Pop. Fortunately, James is NOT giving up. In other MJ news, we've all been hearing about this MJ Block party organized by Spike Lee for Michael's 51st Birthdaywhich is supposed to be next Saturday in Fort Greene Park, Brooklyn. But The Local reports they're looking to cancel the event.  “The mayor’s office has conceded that now that this has been publicized, Fort Greene Park is just not big enough to accommodate the kind of crowds that are foreseeable." ftgreenemj0809 We believe the event will still be going on, but most likely in a different location and will probably be a private affair. We want our invite! RIP MJ!
