“That’s what I’m hoping for this community: Every time each and every person drives by the sign, they see Adolph Robert Thornton Jr.
Smiley said the renaming and ceremony are a way for the community to celebrate the life and legacy of Young Dolph as a local and national icon.
Through the IdaMae Family Foundation, through Paper Route Empire, our family, his friends, and his family, I guarantee you, we guarantee you that his legacy will live on.
When you see that sign, it’s not just a sign for Young Dolph; it’s a sign for the future of this community and this city.
