CHURCH AND MCDONALD: BANGLATOWN OR NOT?

"Is Kensington 'Banglatown?' The Question Divides a Neighborhood," published in today's Brooklyn Ink, presents two issues that are eliciting varying opinions among neighbors:
  1. renaming the area around Church and McDonald avenues "Banglatown" and
  2. "erecting a monument to Bangladeshi liberation 'martyrs' on a traffic island at Avenue C and McDonald Avenue."
The proposals were put forward at the March meeting of Community Board 12 by the board's Bangladeshi member, Abu "Zaman" Khaliquzzaman.

You can post a comment at the bottom of the Brooklyn Ink article.
