Answer:

On E-Notes

Explanation:

In Chapter 15 of Christopher Paul Curtis's young reader's novel Bud, Not Buddy, Miss Thomas, a singer for Herman E. Calloway's band, takes Bud to Calloway's house called "Grand Calloway Station." When Bud asks, Miss Thomas explains that Calloway named his house "Grand Calloway Station" because he had "so many different people in and out" of the house at all hours of the day and night that it "reminded him of that train station in New York City, Grand Central Station." So, he named his house after Grand Central Station, swapping the name Central for Calloway instead.
