SHORT TAKES : Little Richard Gets a Boulevard
<i> From Times Wire Services</i>
MACON, Ga. —
Good golly Miss Molly! Little Richard is going to be on the road for a long time!
The Macon City Council voted Tuesday to name a road after its local hero.
The Little Richard Penniman Boulevard beat other suggestions to honor the flamboyant rocker, such as “Tutti Frutti,” one of the singer’s biggest hits.
Little Richard Penniman Boulevard had been known as simply the “downtown connector.” Penniman is Little Richard’s surname, which, after some debate, the council decided to include in the street name.
