VOTE!

The six options include renaming a city street, renaming a city park or facility, adding a statue to a city park or facility, hosting an annual concert or music festival, proclaiming Petty’s Oct. 20 birthday as Tom Petty day or dedicating the month of October to his musical legacy. Participants also have the option to write in suggestions as well, Phillips said.

All the recommendations on the survey were suggested by the public. The six options on the survey that were chosen were thought to be the most feasible by the city to put into action, Phillips said. Suggestions like renaming the city to “Pettyville” or renaming the airport in Petty’s honor were not possible.

The public can vote for their favorite options on the online survey at surveymonkey.com/r/TomPettyMemorial.

They should make a large statue of a heroin syringe.

In addition to whatever is decided, on Tom's birthday the Gainesville should make a large Alice in Wonderland cake and get everyone together to watch his performance in the movie The Postman.

Or maybe the airport should play on repeat The Waiting

I like the idea of a street AND a festival.

 

[CGgater]

Well, he specifically referenced 441 in “American Girl,” so I suggest Tom Petty Highway cover the entire stretch of 441 within Alachua County.

And a statue of TP and Albert together waving to the crowd at the north entrance to the Swamp.

You're down to 89.2% on the sarcasm meter. Should we be alarmed?

we will really be alarmed if Donkers praises anything related to the Gators
