That is taking a real chance. But I guess things could not be much worse.

6. 6th Avenue was renamed Avenue of the Americas

but everyone calls it Sixth Avenue.
That would probably happen if 5th Avenue were renamed.

To "Boris Nemtsov Plaza". Boris Nemtsov was a leader of the opposition to Putin who caught a bullet in the back of his head while walking in Moscow one evening.

Fifth Avenue is a street with a long and storied history. There's no reason the rest of the world should have to change their stationery, the City should have to change its signage etc., on account of that worthless piece of shit Trump.

I don't know the laws/statutes, etc. but it seems like innocuous signage such as "House of Cards - Only the Best Live Here" would be acceptable.

NYC police checking and recording all identification of individuals entering and exiting would be useful. Including the emporer's family and consorts.

He's probably in ten times the financial trouble Manafort was in - particular when the Oligarchs stop chipping in.

So when the government takes possession, let's just rename it "The Pee Pee Tower"

I wonder if there is a prison with a view ....

Sixth Avenue has been Avenue of the Americas since before I was out of diapers .... and most New Yorkers still call it Sixth Avenue.

Seventh Avenue has been Fashion Avenue since we thought Nixon was honest .... same effect.

Whatever you rename Fifth, it will remain Fifth until the Rapture.

Obama actually deserves to have a major thoroughfare or a big building or an airport named after him. He did a heck of a good job when he was president!

Best in my lifetime.
