Come Monday, Florida’s historical State Street A1A can have a brand new title: Jimmy Buffett Memorial Freeway. Two expenses handed within the Florida Legislature over the weekend had been unanimously authorized through the state Senate honoring the tune legend, who gave up the ghost ultimate yr on the age of 76.

The primary of the 2 expenses would rename parts of the 340-mile stretch of freeway, which runs south from Jimmy’s former house in Key West north to Fernandina Seashore close to Jacksonville. Portions of A1A in Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Seashore, and Monroe Counties would undergo the title Jimmy Buffett Memorial Freeway, which, satirically, used to be the title of his 5th studio album.

The second one invoice authorized a brand new Buffett-inspired Florida registration number plate design with the phrase “Margaritaville,” named after his hottest music and his chain of eating places, shops, and accommodations. All proceeds from the license plates would pass towards a charity based through Jimmy referred to as Making a song for Trade, which is helping sufferers of hurricanes.

“Margaritaville is solely what Florida is all about,” Republican state Senator Gayle Harrell informed the Related Press. “Nobody represents the open solar, seashores, and tune greater than Jimmy Buffett and Margaritaville.”

Republican Chuck Clemons at the start filed the invoice in October of 2023 following Jimmy’s dying, and now it appears find it irresistible may come to fruition if the expenses are authorized within the Florida Area of Representatives. Citizens are even pushing to rename the Key West Global Airport after Buffett – which would possibly quickly be positioned off of Jimmy Buffett Memorial Freeway.
