【Historical Archives】

It's been 50 years of sunny days sweeping the clouds away. The Historical Archivesbeloved children's show Sesame Street has been on air for half a century.

To celebrate this major milestone, a New York City street is permanently becoming Sesame Street and you'll be able to get to Big Bird, Elmo, Cookie Monster, Bert and Ernie, and even Oscar the Grouch's stomping grounds. Instead of asking someone to tell you how to get to Sesame Street, you can plug it into the Waze navigation app.

Waze users in the New York City area can get directions to the fictitious home of Bird Bird's nest, Oscar the Grouch's trash can, as well as other friends, educators, and special guests. In-app messages will pop up on Wednesday afternoon about the newly-named street in the city for anyone in the area using the app.

Temporary Sesame Street signs have gone up over the years in various locations, including near the Sesame Workshop headquarters near New York's Central Park for the 40th anniversary 10 years ago.

For its permanent installation, Sesame Street will be forever marked there on 63rd Street between Central Park West and Broadway. But even with the rename, if you type in "63rd Street" on the Waze app it'll still get you there.

That's how you get to Sesame Street.
