“There is now a ‘Steve Jobs Avenue’ in Brazil, the Brazilian blog MacMagazine reports,” Anna Heim reports for TNW. “First announced one day after Apple’s co-founder passed away last October, the decision has now been officially confirmed by Jundiai’s city council.”
“As we previously reported, this small city near São Paulo plays host to the Foxconn factory which is responsible for manufacturing iPhones in Brazil,” Heim reports.

There will never be any potholes on Steve Jobs Avenue–the pavement will always be smooth with softly rounded edges!
Great, the country that slapped huge tariffs import duties on all things Apple! What a crock of $##&!
And which now is home to a Foxconn plant manufacturing Apple devices.
I could live on Steve Jobs Ave.
There’s got to be a Steve Ballmer cul de sac down at the favelas…
Plays for Sure Alley is off of that!
Lots of garbage.
Either a Steve Ballmer cul-de-sac or a Steve Ballmer Circle… that literally goes around in circles… Just like MS!
Not to throw a wet blanket on your funny comment (no sarc intended), but Apple’s HQ is One Infinite Loop, which is sort of a circle…

Have you been to D! D! D! Court?
I suppose if even Brazil would have a road named after Steve Jobs, it would be ironic if the new Apple Campus that is being built at Cupertino does not have something that is named in his honor! Perhaps a Steve P. Jobs Building would be apt.
Steve always gave credit to the team.
@Chaz, it’s the country that imposed the tariffs and the city that named the street. This is confusing because the title is incorrect. “Brazil City Names Steve Jobs Avenue” should read “Brazilian City Names Steve Jobs Avenue. There’s an Oklahoma City, a Kansas City, and a Mexico City, but no Brazil City.

Very thoughtful however a pity it hasn’t been done in his own country and what he achieved here.
Time to move on. He’s dead. He’ll be remembered without streets in a foreign country named after him. Steve Jobs would simply say “that’s enough,quit it,you’re acting like children,move on”. He’d be right. Move on! Get on with your lives. Do something positive instead of gushing all the time. Quit it!
Are we talking about the same Steve Jobs?
“Small city”? Jundiai is not exactly a metropolis, but from what I recall it has close to 1 million in population.
