Street honors the one and only Ooney Gagen

Ooney Gagen (see photo), a shadowy figure in McMinnville and, more specifically, at Linfield College, has been honored in a special way by the city's signmeister. There's now "Ooney Gagen Way" in Mac. Exact location of the street is not known. "I'm almost speechless about this honor," Gagen told Mac News. "It's my fond wish to have my dream home built on Ooney Gagen Way. If that happens, it'll help assure I get all the fan mail sent me."
