“At a meeting on Tuesday night, LeRoy McCarthy was told that he will have to get more signatures on his petition before a Manhattan community board will vote on his request to name a street after the New York hip-hop trio.

McCarthy wants to rename the corner of Ludlow and Rivington streets on the Lower East Side “Beastie Boys Square”, 1010 WINS’ Sonia Rincon reported.

The intersection of Ludlow and Rivington is featured on the cover of the group’s second album “Paul’s Boutique”.” [CBS]

LeRoy plans to continue fighting (for his right to try and name a street). Sign the petition HERE.
