Jerry Garcia Street
Forums:
Jerry was always an inspiring musician and obviously an exceptionally cool dude. Who would have thought back in the day he would posthumously have places named after him? I doubt that he did.
Year after year the Grateful Dead keep growing in influence and power.

"On Tuesday, San Francisco’s
"On Tuesday, San Francisco’s Board of Supervisors approved a resolution to rename an Excelsior District road “Jerry Garcia Street,” in honor of the Grateful Dead frontman who grew up on the block.
The move will officially commemorate Harrington Street, a tiny one-block road that measures about a tenth of a mile between Alemany Boulevard and Mission Street, as “Jerry Garcia Street.” The singer and guitarist was born in San Francisco in 1942 and spent some of his childhood in his grandparents’ yellow house on Harrington Street after his father’s death. The home has become a pilgrimage site for Grateful Dead fans, one of many spread throughout the city."
