Bob Seger, one of Michigan's favorite sons, will be honored with his very own "Mainstreet" in Allen Park.



After a five-month-long street-naming campaign launched by the classic rock station 94.7 WCSX-FM in May, and a 24-hour "Seger-a- thon" to promote the noble cause, the details of the official unveiling of Bob Seger Boulevard have been announced.



Though the original proposed location for Seger's street was in Ann Arbor on the grounds of Pioneer High School, the 73-year old's alma mater, the official unveiling celebration hosted by WCSX will take place at starting at 4 p.m. outside of Allen Park City Hall with a Seger tribute band and a video compilation of fan messages for the rocker.
