A bunch of slogans grow in Brooklyn
 I left Brooklyn for Manhattan 10 years ago, so really didn’t deserve a say in borough president Marty Markowitz’s search for a Brooklyn tourism slogan. In the end, perhaps fittingly, the borough has decided it can’t be summed up in a single phrase. Instead, following a public contest, “the Brooklyn Tourism Partnership will use several slogans—which range from the classy (“Brooklyn: Bridge to the world”) to the wacky (“Brooklyn: The tenth planet”) and possibly risque (“Do it in Brooklyn”)—for specific advertising campaigns,” the Daily News reports. Gothamist also weighs in with some suggestions. Our favorite: “Brooklyn: I saw Marty Markowitz yesterday!”

I hope they're leaving the welcome signs posted by the borders on highways when entering BK. My personal favorite: "Welcome to Brooklyn. Oy vey!"

To be honest, I can't decide between "It's always a slow news day in Brooklyn," and "Brooklyn: Home of the Best-Spent Tax Dollars." It's a toughie, for sure.
