As an Armenian I too always laugh at this intersection but there is a reason for it being there, Douglas Avenue used to be heavily populated by Armenians in the 70’s and 80’s. The brick building that used to house the Brooklyn Coffee House or whatever (near Times 2) used to be home to a Armenian fraternal organization. My mother and many of her cousins, alongside other families, grew up on Camden Avenue. My grandmothers house (where I grew up and my family continues to live) is still there right off Admiral/Douglas.

As for other juxtapositions, this one isn’t as funny per se but I always found it interesting how at the intersection of Douglas and Eaton there is a police substation facing the projects. Meanwhile all the streets and houses along Eaton street are adorned by American flags, red solo cups, and a $50,000+ a year private university literally a stones throw from Section-8 housing.
