WRONG STREET NAME

This article says GUY BREWER BOULEVARD was once called New York Avenue: wrong - I grew up there, it was New York BOULEVARD, and Guy Brewer is a boulevard too, not avenue. 2604:2000:F24A:E200:7973:C112:1157:B601 (talk) 22:25, 15 June 2017 (UTC)<ref> I didn't NEED references: I LIVED there, so I KNOW.[reply]

ALSO: Mario Cuomo was NOT from SOUTH Jamaica: He was from Jamaica ESTATES. 2604:2000:F24A:E200:7973:C112:1157:B601 (talk) 22:29, 15 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Brewer Boulevard was originally called New York Avenue. It was later renamed New York Boulevard, and then Brewer Boulevard. So you're not wrong, but neither is the article. And please no caps.Tdorante10 (talk) 23:35, 15 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
