Well, it's been there forever--and what's the harm.

Great show--why not?

Won't it be kind of awkward after the show closes one day to have a street named "I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change Way"

I don't think it will be awkward, atleast it wont be to people who don't get it, like tourists.
But just imagine how small the letters are gonna be...and how a small dispute will come up on how to abbreviate it in everyday conversation
"I Love You Blvd"
"Now Change Blvd"
"ILYYPNC Blvd"
ect
:)

You're reminding me of people you hear at the movies asking questions every ten seconds, "Who is that? Why is that guy walking down the street? Who's that lady coming up to him? Uh-oh, why did that car go by? Why is it so dark in this theater?" - FindingNamo on strummergirl

"If artists were machines, then I'm just a different kind of machine...I'd probably be a toaster. Actually, I'd be a toaster oven because they're more versatile. And I like making grilled cheese" -Regina Spektor

"They say that just being relaxed is the most important thing [in acting]. I take that to another level, I think kinda like yawning and...like being partially asleep onstage is also good, but whatever." - Sherie Rene Scott

I thought the title of this thread was a joke at first.
But that's actually kind of... cool? funny? I don't know, I like it.

I work on 43rd, they just renamed the part of it between 10th and 11th after a firefighter. Like... a few months ago.

I too want to see how the heck that's going to fit on the little baby street sign they put underneath the actual street sign.

Now what would you say if today I started over? Without a thing but this taped together four leaf clover And I'll pretend like everything is already alright And I'll run toward the sun till the castle's out of sight

"Won't it be kind of awkward after the show closes one day to have a street named "I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change Way?"

Then they'll have to scrap it for:

I Loved You, You Were Perfect, But Now Things Have Changed Way

Or maybe they'll just rip up part of the road, put up some pylons and it will be "CLOSED"

They did this on my street but one block over in memory of someone on the street who died in the world trade centers. They just put the WAY street sign under the STREET sign and still rfer to it as the original STREET name. So I'm guesing that's what they'll do with this.

I should clarify my original post. It's a nice honor for a good show, but when I said it was the dumbest thing ever, I meant how they are naming it! What a long name!!

What will it be called after it closes is such a non-issue because it isn't like anyone will be referring to it as such while the show is still running. It'll still be 43rd between 9th and 10th. I never call the renamed streets by their new name.

There are tons of streets in the area with new names, but no one ever really calls them by them. Everyone will still call it 43rd and 9th.
