Throgs Neck Expressway (Bronx)
Present name:Hollywood Avenue
Location:Between Dewey Avenue and the Cross Bronx Expressway
Honoree: For over 40 years the owners of 485 and 489 Throgs Neck Expressway believed this was their legal address. A street sign at the corner read Throgs Neck Expressway, but when the sign fell, the Department of Transportation advised the owners that they actually lived in Hollywood Avenue. Since these residents have long used Throgs Neck Expressway as their address, this stretch of Hollywood Avenue was co-named accordingly.
