Change = from bad to worse.
So now any businesses on this street will incur unnecessary expenses to change their business cards, brochures, labels, whatever. I would imagine any business entity on that street already runs at a razor-thin profit margin. This is just another way that CA has its citizens’ best interest at heart. /s
Yeah, because renaming the northern part to MLK really changed that area. hahahah
If all the warning lights on my dash are flashing, smoke rolling out the back like a Zero in a death dive, and sounds from under my hood sounding like a Jamaican steel drum symphony I. Will. Make. It. To. The. Next. Exit.LOL! Too funny!
“She believes the new name will change the areas negative reputation.”
There is another thread about Gillette’s ad about “a dad teaching his transgendered son how to shave” when in reality he is teaching his mentally-ill daughter how to shave her face—a task she normally wouldn’t have to tackle until she was in her 70s.
While there is no MLK road, school, church, or brothel in Calgary AFAIK, we do have something even more ‘politically correct’: we have a ‘Nelson Mandela High School’ in Calgary. Of course, it is in the Northeast part of the city, where the preponderance of violent, and drug related crimes occur and where most ‘new Canadians’ reside. Of course, the two facts are obviously, unrelated. That is what the politicians and the pcCPS (politically correct Calgary Police Service) say, not that a politician would EVER lie.
Just call it the Boulevard of Rape and Adultry.
I guess the word “cotton” is verboten, right?
Those who forget history are doomed to repeat it.
They do realize that cotton doesn’t grow on cottonwood trees, right? Maybe they got their information from The Three Stooges’ version of “Dixie”:
“Way down south in New York City
The cotton grows on the trees so pretty
On the trees?
On the trees.
In the South?
South Brooklyn!”
I bet it will change it. From merely bad to thoroughly horrible.
from the FRchives:
Do they have a statue of the "necklace" made famous by his wife?
It is very considerate of them to warn visitors which part of town is the most dangerous.
Hillsborough’s MLK is a long road, so we can’t avoid it... The state fair entrance is on MLK...
everywhere I go, I avoid anywhere near an MLK Blvd.
That’s the better part.
