The Lark Street BID (Business Improvement District) held a vote to name its logo, which is a big blue bird.

I like to imagine this bird is singing Dio's "Holy Diver"

The choices were:

  • Arthur or Art - in reference to it being Albany’s “Art” District. Terrible.
  • Sir Larksalot – More like Sir Sucksalot. Am I right folks?! Huh, huh?!
  • Joan of Lark – Because nothing says revitalization like invoking a crazed martyr being burned at the cross.
  • Petula Lark – In reference to singer Petula Clark who hit the charts in 1965 with “Downtown.” Awesome, and thus the one I voted for.

And the winner is…

PETULA LARK!

Now they just to design a new logo so Twitter doesn’t sue their pants off.

Seriously, guys?

    I would have liked Lark Arising. Shakespeare’s Sonnet 29 over Petula Clark any day.
