    The corner of 46th & 5th/if memory serves me correctly. And only for this month/alto' a move is afoot to get the corner renamed for him in perpetuity. But I saw his jubilant smile in the newspaper as he saluted the city from a streetlamp/& it was the highlight of my otherwise ordinary day.

    Yo-Yo Ma is one of my heroes. We have an instrument & alma mater in common. And even tho' I cd never dare to dream of being as accomplished a human being as he is/it really warmed my heart to see the city of NY pay hommage to him in such a significant way.

    If you cd name a street corner after anyone you chose/in any city on earth/which corner wd it be & who wd you pick?

    I would change the names on my corner. I hate my intersection--Depot and Walnut. Depot Street isn't that bad, but Walnut, eeeeesh. I thoroughly hate streets named after trees and fruit...maybe birds also( unless they're cool names ).

    I would rename my corner Gilmore and Pesci. Love David Gilmore to death and ol' Joe has been a favorite of mine for a looooong time. I know Gilmore St. doesn't have the pizzazz of a cool name, but his talents outweigh his bland name by far.

    The corner of Haight-Ashbury...Richard Nixon.

    Gilmore...? Is he that guy who did the milk commercials? Or was that Doug?

    I have no interest (sp - intrest?) in changing my street name, but I would like to be mean to all the people who sneer at my area and the KFC delivery guy who thinks he's safer hanging out in the parking lot at 10pm than he would be walking ten feet farther (sp - further?) to my door. We're averaging three murders a year now, and the gangs are dressing a lot smarter lately! I think we're doing pretty good (sp - well?).

    That last one shouldn't have been an "sp", but I forget the little thingy for grammer booboo's.
