500 Block of W 121st Street to become George Carlin Way?

Comedian Kevin Bartini has started a petition to rename the block of W 121st Street where Carlin grew up “George Carlin Way.” Carlin’s daughter, Kelly, supports the proposal. She told ABC News Radio: “I feel it’s very important to protect his legacy and keep the torch lit and to keep the conversation going the next 40 years and I’m very proud and honored to do it.” Many blocks of New York’s streets have been named for famous residents. Is there any reason why Carlin shouldn’t also be memorialized in such a way? Comment.
