Hey, folks! Big news buzzing around the town of Davidson—it looks like they’re gearing up to rename an I-77 interchange after none other than our favorite baller, Steph Curry! Imagine cruising down the highway and spotting an exit dedicated to the NBA legend himself. How cool is that?
A Hometown Hero’s Homecoming
So, here’s the lowdown. The Town of Davidson is all set to give a nod to their hometown hero, Steph Curry, by renaming Exit 30 to Griffith Street after him. And can we just take a moment to appreciate how awesome that sounds? Curry, a Davidson College alum and a two-time NBA MVP, is practically royalty around here. He’s not just a basketball wizard; he’s one of our own.
You know, it’s not every day that a small town like ours gets to claim a superstar like Curry. He’s not just a basketball icon; he’s a symbol of grit, determination, and of course, those jaw-dropping three-pointers that make you leap out of your seat.
From the College Courts to the Interstate Honor Roll
Picture this: you’re driving down I-77, minding your own business, and suddenly you see the sign for Exit 30—now officially dubbed the Steph Curry Exit. It’s like a high-five from the town, a shout-out to one of its favorite sons who went on to conquer the NBA. And Davidson College is right there in the mix, too. At their meeting on Oct. 10, former college president Dr. Tom Ross brought up the proposal, and it seems like the town and college staff are all on board with the idea.
Let’s break it down—Curry, the guy who honed his skills on the college courts right here in Davidson, is getting a piece of the Interstate named after him. Talk about a homecoming! The proposal is up for a thumbs-up from the Town of Davidson on Tuesday night, and we’ve got our fingers crossed for a slam dunk decision.
Why It Matters to Us
Now, some might say, “Why does it matter? It’s just a road sign.” Well, my friends, it’s more than that. It’s a nod to the kid who used to shoot hoops at the local court, dreaming big. It’s a shout-out to the college that helped shape him into the superstar he is today. It’s a little piece of recognition that says, “Hey, Steph, we see you, and we’re damn proud of you.”
And let’s not forget the ripple effect. Imagine the inspiration it could spark in the kids shooting hoops at the local court right now. They drive by that Steph Curry Exit and think, “Maybe, just maybe, I could make it big too.” It’s the kind of hometown pride that goes beyond basketball—it’s a celebration of achievement, hard work, and chasing your dreams.
So, here’s to hoping that Tuesday night is a night to remember in Davidson. Fingers crossed, the Town gives a unanimous thumbs-up to renaming Exit 30 after Steph Curry. It’s more than a sign on the highway; it’s a symbol of a town that supports its own, a town that’s not afraid to shout from the rooftops, “That’s our guy!”
Let’s do this, Davidson! Show some love to Steph, and let that Exit 30 become a landmark that makes us all swell with hometown pride. Steph Curry, this one’s for you—rolling out the gold carpet on I-77!
