there was once a church on the grounds of prospect park, looking over the bluff, it was torn down in 1945 by a iconoclast by the name of d. schwartz. after that they had built the park they named it prospect park because it was a prospect of open land so close to the city

to those who ask "how ever do you know there was once a church there" because i frecken went there, i'm an 85 year old and just because i lost my legs in the war doesn't mean i lost my memory

People were making the reference to Martin Luther, King being a iconoclast. So therefore the street "Luther" meant Newell Park. I can't make that connection, myself. But others were. I can't quite think that Martin Luther as an iconoclast, but I don't know all of his history.

David, it means something. Which definition it means, none of us knows. But you have to keep everything in mind, just in case it does refer to something. I've got to step away for a few moments. I'll be back.
