"Obi-Wan Kenobi Street" in Grabowiec Poland

[Sewer Bull]

As we have a huge community of Star Wars fans here at Technodrome, I decided to announce you some great news.

Yep, we have Obi-Wan Kenobi St. for real. There's one in Grabowiec, named in May 2005



There were some articles in Polish press and internet, sadly, they were in Polish only. I managed to find only one link in English - doesn't look very serious but I can assure you the whole matter with "Obi-Wan Kenobi Street" is real, not fake:


There is an Obi-Wan Kenobi Street in Grabowiec, a settlement in western Poland, near Torun (the town of Copernicus). The idea came from Leszek Budkiewicz -- street's tenant, local council's member and after all -- a Star Wars fan. He came upon his crazy idea and made the council go after it (I wonder if he was using the Force . Some of the council's members even became Star Wars fans themselves! I wonder if they're going to call themselves The Jedi Council?

And something makes me wonder, because the council representatives claim Grabowiec is the first city ever to have "Obi-Wan Kenobi Street" and I reckon they exaggerate. It couldn't be the first one... I think.
