I went to a Bowne House July 4 (they used to have programs there a long time ago before the politicians got involved.)Congressman Schumer stood up to give a speech - kept calling it 'Bone House'.His office was a few doors away.
I don't know what Google you're looking at because:a) That isn't what Google's font or colors look like, andb) Google gets it right on my computer.I guess I'm special.Google Map Bowne Park
Google has it right here:http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=queens,+NY&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=43.037246,57.392578&ie=UTF8&ll=40.77039,-73.806995&spn=0.005046,0.007006&t=h&z=17www.forgotten-ny.com
In Chuckie's defense, many people aren't sure how to say Bowne, pronouncing it bone, instead of Bowne as in bow-wow-wow.www.forgotten-ny.com
OK, Kevin, if he was fresh off the boat from Grand Rapids but as a community leader you should get the name right.I cannot imagine Scott Springer saying Huuston Street in Soho.
You mean, Scott Stringer
It wasn't a Google map. It was the City's map, which makes the mistake even worse. I corrected the title.
Incidentally, Yahoo Maps gets the name of the surrounding area wrong.
On the corner of Bowne Street and 45th Avenue, there is a Boon Church, a Chinese church that may have also misspelled Bowne in its name.
Boone Playground, eh?
I think not.
