Leo Messi Way: the story of an idol street in a small New Jersey town

In a small municipality in New Jersey, just minutes from the MetLife Stadium where Argentina will play Spain in the World Cup final, a street has been temporarily renamed 'Leo Messi Way' in honor of the Argentine football icon. The initiative was led by two Argentines living in the U.S., including Carolina Sokalsky, owner of the Patria Station Café, which showcases Argentine cuisine and culture. The renaming was approved by the Berkeley Heights Township Council for a temporary period until July 31, with hopes of making it permanent. The decision came after discussions among friends and support from local authorities, who initially struggled to grasp the significance of Messi to the community.
