Congrats to the Guy family for this honor. Sure people have streets named in their honor, but Wabash? That’s major. Tonight, his daughter Shawnna took to Twitter to praise her Father.
Chicago blues great Buddy Guy now has his own street.
The city of Chicago has renamed the stretch of Wabash Street in front of his club, Legends, “Buddy Guy Way.”
The blues guitarist says he “wanted to cry” when the honor was bestowed Sunday. Chicago Alderman Bob Fioretti read a proclamation from Mayor Rahm Emanuel, and the crowd sang “Happy Birthday” as Guy received a copy of the street sign.
Whoa. This is straight up Chicago HISTORY right here. Congrats to Buddy.
