A Brooklyn street gets co-named for late Chabad rebbe Menachem Mendel Schneerson

JL;DR SUMMARY The Chabad-Lubavitch community in Brooklyn celebrated the co-naming of a street as Lubavitcher Rebbe Way, honoring their late leader Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson.

But then again, maybe that's why I found the place s'durned innarestin'.
