No, Not THAT O.J.

(From The Hartford Courant -- By Pat Seremet)

The Canton, Ohio, City Council is considering renaming a street for the O'JAYS, and the move has been revised to avoid confusing the honor with O.J. SIMPSON.

Councilman THOMAS WEST proposed renaming a portion of Mahoning Road in tribute to the singing group that got their start in Canton. The council dicussed the idea and could vote next month.

One business was concerned that people would think the street was named after Simpson, acquitted of the 1994 murders of ex-wife NICOLE BROWN SIMPSON and her friend RON GOLDMAN. West agreed to change the request to THE O'JAYS BOULEVARD instead of O'JAYS BOULEVARD.
