All roads lead to grandma: Lexington woman honored with street naming
The Dispatch
Francis Burns has seen a lot of changes in the past 45 years she has lived off of Cotton Grove Road in Lexington. The most recent and, according to her, amazing change is that city officials have named the alley behind her house after her in honor of the contributions she has given to the community.
“It was really a surprise,” Burns said. “I was shocked, but I am so proud and tickled.”
Burns is the first recipient of a new honorary street designation program the Lexington City Council approved in November.
