New York Fan Wants JLo Street in the Bronx
Just over 1,300 people agree that singer, dancer and actress Jennifer Lopez should have a street named after herwhere else but the Bronx. Bronx resident Edgardo Luis Rivera launched a Change.org petition calling for one of the blocks in Jenny-From-the-Block's old borough to be named in her honor. Rivera has called on "every J.Lover and fan in the world" to get the district and city councils to consider naming a street after the "Luh You Papi" singer. The New York Daily News reports that Rivera wants part of Blackrock Ave. close to J.Lo's home growing up, to adopt Lopez's name. Rivera announced recently that actress Kristin Chenoweth is among the 1,300 "Jennifer Lopez Way" supporters, but no word yet from the city. According to the Daily News, the city council has been reluctant to name streets after still-living people, though exceptions have been made in the past.
