Rasheed Wallace: Man, myth, and now a road in front of Simon Gratz High School

That sign don’t lie. The plastic came down on Friday afternoon from the street sign at 18th and Hunting Park Avenue, making it official. The stretch right in front of Rasheed Wallace’s old high school is now Rasheed Wallace Road. From now on, whenever you go past Simon Gratz High, you’re on Rasheed’s road. The day was a trip down a special lane. (Philadelphia Inquirer)
