Naming a stretch of Pulaski Road, “Honorary Casimir Pulaski Way” is redundant and pretty silly. Naming a stretch of Chicago pavement in honor of ace reporter Carlos Hernandez Gomez, 36, who died in last January is appropriate.
In a city with “Vito Marzullo Way,” honest citizens deserve to have a street named after an intrepid political reporter who wasn’t afraid to ask politicians tough questions.
ChicagoTalks is thrilled to hear that the City of Chicago, and Ald. Walter Burnett (27th) are naming a stretch of Racine Avenue the honorary “Carlos Hernandez Gomez Way.” The ceremony will take place on August 27, at 4:00 p.m., on the North East corner of Racine Avenue and Ogden Street.
Here are some clips of Carlos in action from politifax for your viewing pleasure.
