While in Atlanta over Labor Day, I drove down Bobby Brown Parkway. I had Nadia take a picture of the sign because it was so unbelievable. Someone would name a street after that nut?!?! But since B Brown isn’t from Atlanta (though it seems like he should be*), the street can’t be named after him, can it? Sadly, I don’t think it is.

*If someone told you that Bobby Brown was from Atlanta, you would believe it, wouldn’t you? If someone said he was from Boston, you probably wouldn’t. Nor would you, if given the choice, choose Boston as his hometown over Atlanta. I’m not really sure why, though.

I highly, highly doubt that Atlanta would have sought to commemorate anything Bobby Brown has done, pre-, during, or post-Whitney Houston. You can read some of his sad story here.

I believe it was named after Robert T Brown, a Navy lieutenant who died in WWII. There’s a park in Georgia named after him as well, so that makes much more sense. Would have been much funnier, though, if it was named after B Brown.

And, why do people insist on convering My Prerogative?

Was it really that good of a song?
