Eminem fans will now be able to purchase a piece of 8 Mile. Fifteen years after the release of 8 Mile, fans will be able to purchase memorabilia from the film.
Fans of the movie and Detroit rapper now have a chance to own the 8 Mile Rd. street sign. Detroit Metro Times reported that Eastpointe, MI is replacing their current street signs and selling the old ones. Many of the iconic ones helped separate Detroit from the northern part of the neighborhood.
For $25 each, you can buy an 8 Mile sign. With it being over fifteen years since the movie’s release, interest has drawn in the signs. City manager of Eastpointe, Steve Duchane said “This has blown up big. People were lined up at City Hall on a Monday. They were there to get their signs before everyone else could.”
8 Mile separates Eastpointe from Detroit, and thanks to Eminem, the road has become very iconic.
