From the Twitterverse - LIC vs. Long Island City

Gantry Plaza State Park in Long Island City (or is it LIC?), Queens

Well, this business last week about changing the name of Long Island City to LIC was a great conversation starter! Here’s what some of our twitter followers had to say about it:

AstoriaHaiku: “Long Island City” on blogs, #LIC on Twitter

NickFromAstoria: Long Island City. LIC is fine as a time saver, but would be tacky operating as the rule rather than the exception.

YelpQueens: Either or. #LIC for tweets for sure!

Stellaaa: @queensnycity Officially changing it to LIC will skyrocket the prices of everything – including other nabes.

duluozcats: I like them both & use both!

35thAndKaufman: if they officially change it to #LIC, all the cool people will have to start saying #longislandcity just to be difficult.

JCarubia: Ridiculous! Don’t mess w/history. Leave ‘ Long Island City’ alone.
