Oprah Gets Chi-Town Street Tribute

Chicago has been her home for nearly 28 years, and now Oprah Winfrey has her very own street.

Mayor Richard Daley stopped by the talk show host’s Harpo Studios on Wednesday (May 11) to rename the street outside as Oprah Winfrey Way.

According to ABC News, Winfrey is widely credited with helping transform a gritty part of the city into a thriving neighborhood, as her beige building with the giant silver 'O' proved to be a magnet for young professionals and families.

Oprah is the latest of more than 1,000 celebrities, religious leaders and activists and others who have been honored with street signs in Chicago.
