If I drive on it, will I feel normal again?

1. I drive on it monthly going from the 101 to the 210.

[dlk]

2. Love It!

[Marie Marie]

3. Love it. Now can we also rename a highway that

Trump has to take to Mara Lago and make the sign even larger?

[NBachers]

5. I'd love to see that!

14. + me

17. Best idea I've seen this week!

That just might give the final signal to Trump's heart to go into cardiac arrest.

6. I drove past it this last Sunday driving home from Arizona to the SF Bay Area

We were taking a different freeway but I saw it. I was so happy!

7. I wonder if there's a highway in Chicago open for a name? I know they have a few....

...already named after prominent Americans:

I-190, Kennedy
I-290, Eisenhower, the "Ike"
I-55, Stevenson

I see that I-57 is still unnamed. How about the "Obama", or to needle the right wing assholes, the "Barry"???

22. I have made a suggestion to my Congressman.....

to build a new Interstate highway from Kansas City to Chicago, and to name it for Pres. Obama. Since I-35 runs from the Mexican border to the Canadian border, passing through Kansas City, and is designated as a NAFTA highway, Chicago (BHO's home city) would benefit greatly from a direct highway connecting to I-35 from the south; Kansas City is the most logical choice (to me).

8. There's one in East St Louis as well (iirc).

It makes me happy every time I drive on it.

9. CA is lucky.

I had to drive on the George Bush turnpike once when visiting relatives in TX, and it made me sick.

20. For what it's worth, GBT is named for #41 not #43

If that makes any differenc e

[ProudLib72]

24. I know. It doesn't make much difference

I took a picture of a sign bearing the name because I thought it was so cringe worthy. And to think I'm originally from Arlington!

10. LA City Council also voted unanimously to change Rodeo Rd to Obama Blvd

Los Angeles approves changing name of Rodeo Road to Obama Boulevard 8-29-2018


The Los Angeles City Council voted 15-0 Wednesday to rename Rodeo Road as Obama Boulevard in honor of former President Barack Obama.

“We’re thrilled that Angelenos and visitors will forever be reminded of the legacy of President @BarackObama when traveling across L.A.,” Mayor Eric Garcetti tweeted after the vote.

City Council President Herb Wesson proposed the name change last year and noted that then-candidate Obama held a campaign rally at Rancho Cienega Recreation Center on Rodeo Road in 2007. The 3.5-mile street runs from near the Culver City border east to Mid-City and is not to be confused with upscale Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills.

The street is in Wesson’s council district and his motion mentioned it is home to “president’s row,” a series of streets named after former presidents which includes Washington Boulevard, Adams Boulevard and Jefferson Boulevard.

“President Obama is no stranger to Los Angeles. He began his college education in Los Angeles, as an undergraduate student at Occidental College from 1979 to 1981 before leaving for Columbia University,” the motion stated.

21. Interstate 20 from Arlington TX through Dallas County until you get to the LBJ Freeway

Makes me mad every time I drive it

At least we have a freeway over here named for Speaker Jim Wright

[itsrobert]

to the Barack H. Obama Highway too.

[OxQQme]

26. I can see it (the freeway, not the sign) right now out my window!

It's the 134 freeway. I knew the legislature had approved it, and private funds were raised for actually putting up the sign. I was wondering when it was finally going up. I fully expect that some nutcase will deface it at some point.
