WCSX/Detroit Looking To Honor Bob Seger With His Own Street

WCSX Is Teaming With City Of Ann Arbor

BEASLEY MEDIA GROUP Classic Rock WCSX/DETROIT along with the city of ANN ARBOR and the ANN ARBOR School Board are teaming up to have a street named in honor of DETROIT Rock legend BOB SEGER in front of his Alma Mater in ANN ARBOR, MI.

WCSX morning show personality BIG JIM O'BRIEN from "BIG JIM'S HOUSE" worked with the ANN ARBOR and the ANN ARBOR School Board to find a stretch of Blvd on the grounds of PIONEER HIGH SCHOOL (formerly SEGER's alma mater ANN ARBOR HIGH) on the corner of Main Street. 

"BOB SEGER is part of my life," said BIG JIM. "The first song at my wedding reception was “Real Love” by SEGER and my favorite road trip song ever is “Roll Me Away." BOB SEGER is everything good about DETROIT… hard working, passionate and genuine. When we found this stretch of road in ANN ARBOR at his high school, it just made sense to make BOB SEGER BLVD a reality. And it’s connected to MAIN STREET!”

"BOB SEGER represents everything our great state is about," said "Big Jim's House" Morning Show co-host ERIN VERMEULEN. "I meet WCSX listeners all the time who share their memories and stories with me about SEGER songs and concerts and how his music influenced their lives. What better way to pay tribute to such an amazing homegrown talent, than with his own street in the town where he grew up. This is a perfect opportunity to showcase one of the greatest story tellers of our time."

The proposed street name will be going before the board for a vote soon.
