A Virginia city is honoring hometown hero Missy Elliott by naming a boulevard in a new entertainment district after her.
The Portsmouth City Council voted unanimously Tuesday, Aug. 9, to change the name of a 1-mile section of McLean Street to Missy Elliott Boulevard, news outlets report. The stretch between Airline Boulevard and Greenwood Drive is near Tidewater Community College and the future Portsmouth Rivers Casino.
Elliott thanked the council in a tweet saying she’s been through ups and downs and times when she wanted to give up "but Gods plan was different! & all I can do is say Thank you."
