Where Should The Kentile Sign Go?

Photo credit: Tim BartlettThe Kentile sign has been saved, sorta: the sign will be rebuilt elsewhere.  The writers of Fucked in Park Slope came up with some ideas of where it could go:

Smith & 9th Station: A relatively small change to the skyline and the MTA gets to deal with it.

The Watchtower: The World HQ of Jehovah's Witnesses. And it already has a roof capable of supporting a sign. WWJD?

The Food Coop: Maybe a bit too big for that quaint Coop building but the firehouse, the 9/11 statue, the Coop AND the Kentile sign would be Brooklyn grand slam.

Grand Army Plaza Arch: I don't know those guys charging at the top of the arch but they would look more awesome with the Kentile sign looming behind them.

The Gowanus Canal: Burial at sea.

Red Hook: The Kentile sign would fit right in with this industrial wasteland of commerce, plus it could put those cranes to work.

Sports Endorsements: Not just the World Cup, either. The sign can travel around the world, endorsing all sorts of events from the Tour de France to Wrestlemania.

 

PS107: We never did have a proper jungle gym. Kids could learn history as they fail at incredibly stupid stunts they're recording for YouTube.

The Gowanus Batcave: Leave it as a permanent installation, like the giant penny and the T-Rex in the real Batcave.

Pompeii: Leave it amongst the ruins of Pompeii that will be preserved for much longer than anything in Brooklyn.
