Some Beautiful Soul Turned NYC's Prince St. Station Into a Tribute for Prince (Updated)

SOHO, MANHATTAN — More proof, this awful Thursday, that New Yorkers (Wolf Blitzer aside) thought up the planet's best Prince tributes in the hours following the devastating news of his death at 57.

If this is a Photoshop, it's a crazy good one. We've reached out to Signe Pierce for more details.

The subway sign at Prince Street apparently now wears two purple circles in the style of the N and R Train bubbles: one containing a "P" and one with Prince's iconic "Love Symbol" inside.
