Who knows, but I am fairly sure at some point there will be some thing called Bloomberg. However, I refuse to call the Queensboro Bridge the Koch Queensboro Bridge, or whatever abomination they are trying to call it, and I also refuse to call the Triboro the RFK...it is the Triboro and will always be the Triboro.

Generally, I like to see old names stay the same, 100% agree with you on Queensboro and Triboro.
But as far as Bloomberg, we can reserve the Bathroom of the new Penn Station to Bloomberg Room.

Sorry, sleep deprived
