Downtown Street Renamed For 'Beat Michigan Week'

COLUMBUS, Ohio – Believe it or not, there is a street in the heart of this city that bears the name of a rival university from up north.

Michigan Avenue sits on the edge of Victorian Village. A local businessman suggested a name change during "Beat Michigan Week", NBC 4's Ben Gelber reported.

On Wednesday, with Mayor Michael Coleman's proclamation, the street was renamed Buckeye Way.

Bill Clarksin and his staff at APCO Industries were tired of looking at a sign called Michigan Avenue during "Beat Michigan Week." So they called on the city and community stars for help.

NBC 4's Mindy Drayer, Archie Griffin, Brutus Buckeye and lots of cheering fans came together for the big moment. Coleman made the decree with a helping hand from OSU President Gordon Gee.

Proud alumni also joined in the festivities on Buckeye Way.
