The city of Chicago is renaming a street after Oprah Winfrey.
Out-going mayor, Richard M. Daley and Bobby Ware, the Commissioner of the Department of Transportation, announced today that a portion of a street near Oprah's Harpo Studios at 110 North Carpenter Street, will bear the name of the longstanding talk show host.
In response to the honor, Oprah called Chicago the greatest city in the world and said having a street renamed after her was better than winning an Oscar or an Emmy.
Needless to say, some ungrateful Chicagoans are unhappy with the idea of O' getting her own street, and are even more disturbed by the notion that taxpayers may have to pay for the labor and new street signs.
Depending on the length of the renamed street, the process could cost Chicago a few hundred dollars or thousands of dollars.
