Grover, City Work Together To Confuse Tourists

Hey kids? D’you like Broad Street? Do you like Sesame Street? Well now you can combine the two into one people-confusin’ sandwich!

Sesame Street Live stars Super Grover and Elmo help representatives from the City of Philadelphia rename Broad Street to Sesame Street while Super Grover! Ready for Action performs on “South Sesame Street” at the Wachovia Spectrum (March 7-11) and on “North Sesame Street” at the Liacouras Center at Temple University (March 15-18). Super Grover and Elmo will literally help replace the Broad Street sign with a Sesame Street sign, which will remain while the show is in town.

I kind of like these random street name changes for a few days. Can we rename Walnut “Milton Street” for a few days?

Full release after the jump.
