NY Post
It’s a Big Apple birthday greeting for a big star of the silver screen.
Straphangers passing through Manhattan’s 72nd Street 1, 2, 3 station today will see the stop has been renamed “72 Streep” — on both the uptown and downtown platforms — to celebrate the birthday of multi-Oscar-winning actress Meryl Streep, who turns 72 today, The Post has learned. “It was one of these ideas that you have and you’re just like, ‘That’s so perfect’ — and she’s a national treasure, so everyone’s going to love it,” said 57-year-old artist and photographer Adrian Wilson. He planned and installed the display along with his artist friend Matt Duncan, all with the use of easily removable stickers on the last “t” of the station’s signs.More Related News
