Earlier this week, Philadelphia honored the soul singer Patti LaBelle with her very own street. Unfortunately, they got her name wrong.
The city’s Streets Department didn’t capitalize the “b″ in the legendary soul singer’s last name on the signs that were put up before Tuesday’s ceremony on Broad Street. A stretch between Locust and Spruce streets was renamed “Patti LaBelle Way” in honor of the Philadelphia native.
Deana Gamble, the city spokeswoman, stated that they were aware of the error and that they plan to install the signs with the correct capitalization next week.
