Minnesota Honors Prince with Purple Ink Highway Dedication
Minnesota has renamed a seven-mile stretch of highway after the late pop superstar Prince, which runs past his Paisley Park home and recording studio. The path through the Minneapolis suburbs of Chanhassen and Eden Prairie will now be called the Prince Rogers Nelson Memorial Highway. Purple road signs will soon go up along the highway declaring the new name, paid for by Prince’s friends and fans. The governor described Prince as a “global icon” and “creative genius.” Prince’s cousin, Charles Smith, called the highway dedication “a beautiful thing.”
