A stretch of Broad Street, between Locust and Spruce Streets, will be renamed"Patti LaBelle Way." PHILADELPHIA — Philadelphia honored singer Patti LaBelle with her very own street earlier this week. Unfortunately, the signs didn't get her name right.
The city's Streets Department didn't capitalize the"b'' in the legendary soul singer's last name on the signs that were put up before Tuesday's ceremony on Broad Street. A stretch between Locust and Spruce streets was renamed"Patti LaBelle Way" in honor of the Philadelphia native. City spokeswoman Deana Gamble tells The Philadelphia Inquirer the city is aware of the error and plans to install signs with the correct capitalization next week.She thanked all the fans who came out to the ceremony and reminisced about her parents walking down that very stretch of Broad Street.
