Dean Martin Street

Hey Bubba
I was reading an article about the great Dean Martin recently, and it referred to a street named after him in San Antonio.

Any info on that?

Hola Pete.. yes, we have a Dean Martin Street, Charlie Chan Street, Danny Kaye Street, Desilu, etc... if you look on google maps and zoom in to area code 78240 you'll see quite a few streets named after famous entertainers.

Seriously Bobbie , in my humble and unbiased opinion - Townhead district of Glasgow - has more famous names than the whole of San Antonio put together.
Nice to see you back - you have been missed. :wink:

I CAME HERE LAST WEEK FROM DOWN IN CORBY
'COS MY BABY LEFT FOR FALKIRK ON A TRAIN
I THOUGHT I'D GET A JOB AND JUST FORGET HER
BUT IN CAMPBELTOWN A BROKEN HEART IS STILL THE SAME

I'LL ASK THE MAN, BEHIND THE BAR, FOR THE JUKEBOX
AND THE MUSIC TAKES ME BACK TAE DOON THE QUAY
AND WHEN THEY ASK WHO'S THE FOOL IN THE CORNER, CRYING
I'LL SAY, LITTLE OLD WINE DRINKER ME
I know my Summer'll never come
I know I'll cry until my dying day has come
Let the Winter roll along
I've got nothing left but song
