ABC NO RIO (how it got its name)
---------------
Punk and hardcore fans from the East Coast (and elsewhere) are probably familiar with ABC No Rio, a social center / club in New York City's Lower
East Side. Founded in 1980 and rooted in the New York art scene, the center is well known for hosting hardcore and punk shows during the late '80s and
early '90s. But despite the club's fame, few people actually know how it got its name. According to Steve Englander, the club's director, the name
came from an old sign on a neighboring vacant building that originally read "Abogado y Notario" - Spanish for "Lawyer and Notary." Parts of the sign
had worn or fallen off, however, leaving only "Abc No rio" behind.

that's an original way to get a name, although it ended up being a bit strange name, but original indeed...

There's a diner in Toronto that has a neon sign that says "GOOD FOOD" but half of it went dead years ago so it says "G OOF" now. People refer to
as The Goof.
