The city of Columbia is honoring the "Greatest Show on Earth" in a big way.
A portion of Greene Street, in front of the Colonial Life Arena has a new name. It will now be called Ringling Way.
On Wednesday city officials, circus performers and Asia the elephant, unveiled the new street sign. One circus performer calls the renamed street, the ultimate compliment.
"Having you guys appropriately rename this street Ringling Way is a deep, deep honor for us," said performer Sean Davis. "And it's just going to reaffirm our commitment and our excitement to come back here to Columbia every year."
The Ringling Brothers circus kicks off February 4th and runs through Sunday, February 7th.
