Gary Carter is coming home to Montreal in the form of a street renamed for him. The former Faillon Street, now Rue Gary-Carter runs across from Montreal’s Jarry Park where the Kid got his start with the Expos.
"I don't want to go to all the trouble of changing my address … it's very complicated," says Sophie Picard, who lives on the stretch of Faillon Street that will soon be renamed.
Not everyone was as concerned with the complications.
An even larger celebration is planned for June 15 when Ahuntsic baseball park in the city's north end will be named for Carter, who died last year of brain cancer at 57.
