    Yeah - At the end of the stream, there was a message saying it would be up on their site soon.

    Here are a couple of picture that I found on the WCSX Facebook page:

    Here's the crowd starting to gather at dusk for the unveiling ceremony ...



    And in case you want to visit, here it is on Google Maps ...



    ETA: I checked MapQuest, but no Glenn Frey Drive showing up there yet - they need to get with the program!

    I just watched the vid and that's great they included the other speakers and hearing Bill's side of the "Satisfaction" story. I've seen pics now of the sign on the Detroit Free Press' Twitter accounts and retweeted one of them. Very cool hearing too how Glenn actually used to walk down that street to school every day and seeing his high school in the background.

    I love that they did this. I think I'm going to have to drop by this street one day. I'll be checking it out on their site, too.

    And maybe you can stop by Roak Brewery and have a Lyin' Eyes beer.

    (I love the sentiment, but I'm not fond of the name. Couldn't they have come up with something better, like Already Gone, or Chug All Night beer?)

    It's a perfect occupation for me.

    Another great tribute to a great man. Love hearing the story again of Glenn joining the band to sing Satisfaction. His description of Glenn has been consistent with everyone else.

    I was watching a video of the DJ thanking everybody for making Glenn Frey Drive a reality. Then somebody I guess on social media asked why they waited to do this after he died. I forgot what he said, but at the end he was like, maybe we need to start working on getting Bob Seger his street or something like that. I'm trying to find the video, but I can't find it.

    So cool that they did this! I'm glad to hear from everyone just what a great guy Glenn really was! Family man, generous, kind, diligent, hard working, should I go on?!

    I hope they go ahead and get a street for Bob before he passes!
