Brooklyn To Get Michael Jackson Mural At "Bad" Subway Stop

The Hoyt-Schermerhorn Station, where Matin Scorcese filmed parts of Michael Jackson's "Bad Video," is set to get a mural depicting the King of Pop soon, this a few months after the MTA denied a proposal to name the station after Jackson, citing a policy of not naming stations after individuals. The MTA technically can't allow a mural to be painted on its walls, either, but a different company owns some property adjacent to the station and is planning its own mural in honor of Jackson. The company hasn't picked an artist yet, but it plans to move forward on the project. [Village Voice]
