WDAS FM Personality Patty Jackson Honored By Philadelphia City Council with Ceremonial Street Renaming on the Block She Grew Up On

Philadelphia City Councilman Kenyatta Johnson called into WDAS' Patty Jackson's show to announce the 2300 Block of Ellsworth St will be named Patty Jackson Way. (video from Lorraine Morrill, Community Affairs Director for iHeartMedia Philadelphia.)

“Thanks to Councilmember Kenyatta Johnson, D-2nd District, the 2300 block of West Ellsworth Street will be “renamed” Patty Jackson Way on Friday, Oct. 8 at 4 p.m. This ceremonial (as opposed to official) street renaming will be in honor of the South Philly living legend whose mellifluous voice has graced the region’s radio airwaves for 38 years.” - From Attorney Michael Coard
