Absolutely!
Anytime I’m in an unfamiliar town I can always tell what neighborhood to stay away from by finding where Martin Luther King Blvd/St/Rd/Way is located.

There must be some 1/8 mile stretch of dirt road out in the sticks that can be named “Odumbo Road” for this purpose. No sense using something people will actually see and drive on for the worst President in my lifetime.

Rename from one crooked democrat to another. Perfect though because it runs through the shittiest part of the city.

“They should use Obama’s name where it fits.

Like on a Mosque or a gay bathhouse.”

Where the heck is a “like” button when you need it?!?

****Take a street in one of the most crime-ridden parts of Chicago and name it after him or better yet, a housing project.****

It should also be a dead end street!!!!

[Buckeye McFrog]

There’s already a Barack Obama Highway

All left turns leading to a dead end. {cymbal crash}

After a white “hispanic” murdered Obama’s “son” in cold blood and members of black gangs decided to revenge this diss by attacking and killing cops and anybody else not of their skin color wandering near or in their “hood”. Was ignored and never decried as that was going on by the person who made and enhanced such claims because it didn’t suit his effort to create successfully the racial division he sought to create should have a highway renamed after him.

If they named a landfill after him would that make the landfill a hazardous waste site?

I went to school and lived on the South Side in the mid 70’s. There was a particularly bad rainstorm that lasted for hours and flooded the Dan Ryan in places. The city streets flooded badly, too. There were ‘yutes’ demanding money to ‘push your car through the underpass’ on several of the residential streets. I left Chicago shortly thereafter. Sounds like the area hasn’t gotten any better. (I once drove my car down Stony Island to a Burger King. I saw a Black man run out of the restaurant looking angry, so I went around the block. Arriving back at the Burger King, it looked quiet, so I went in. The manager was behind the counter bleeding from a chest wound. I split just as the cops were arriving. Never went back again.)

Well Hell, just rename Chicongo after obama.
