On Friday, news broke that former US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton had signed a lease to set up a new headquarters in Brooklyn, New York — and there's a very funny coincidence about the building's location.
Clinton is expected to use the space as the headquarters for her 2016 presidential campaign.
The building, One Pierrepont Plaza, is located next to the intersection of Tillary and Clinton Streets.
That's right: Tillary Clinton.
A spokesperson for Clinton did not immediately respond to an email from Business Insider asking if she is amused by this.
However, a mid-level Democrat familiar with Brooklyn street names, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because he works for Hillary Clinton, said, "Yes, I can confirm that Tillary rhymes with Hillary, and that Secretary Clinton's last name is Clinton."
Check out the map below, and see for yourself. Our cartoon Clinton is standing on the location of her office.
This was updated at 6:45 p.m. with the statement from the mid-level Democrat familiar with Brooklyn street names, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because he works for Hillary Clinton.
