I still call the Ed Koch the 59th street bridge and that was two names ago.

I honestly forgot it was called the Ed Koch. I still use 59th street.

I’ve only ever called it the 59th street Bridge because it reminds me exactly where it goes.

I have a similar system for remembering exactly where all the streets are.
