Will Smith has been given a street in West Philadelphia. On Wednesday, a city official presented the 2000 block of North 59th Street in Philadelphia’s Overbrook section to Will Smith.
“With all of his accomplishments and success, wherever you see him in the world, he is unapologetic about letting you know that ‘I’m Will Smith, in West Philadelphia born and raised,'” said Philadelphia Mayor Cherelle Parker to NBC Philadelphia.
During the ceremony, Smith wore an Overbook High School jacket and recalls, “I walked across this bridge for my whole high school career in snow and rain.”
