All of you may be interested in knowing this: The area to be named for American Patriot Peter Jennings is the same spot where Nathan Hale was hanged. Liberals suck. WTF?

I guess @ss Wipe Stree was already taken.
I used to work for a company that was headquartered on Avenue of the Americas (right between Fox News and CNN). It was always referred to the Avenue of the Americas office, not 6th Avenue.
But I get what you're saying. I always say 6th (because it's shorter, not because I buy into NYC native snobbiness).
isn't that at the cross section of Lying Liberal Puke Blvd?
That or "Bakalakalaka St."
I live in NYC, and I have no interest in defending the liberal stupidity that goes on here. That being said, I read 1776, and I didn't come away with the idea that NY had more or less loyalists. It had some, and they were treated harshly by the Washington's forces that occupied Manhattan in 1776. It had more rebels, or the Army would have left. Every part of this country had its fair share of loyalists (just as today, there are people in all parts who think the war against terrorism is "illegal.") The bulk of the Revolutionary War was fought in and around NYC, which makes it likely that NY was disproportionately represented in the Continental Army.

Does this street run one way....to the left???
One of my favorites is Senor Wences Way, over by The Ed Sullivan Theater. He contributed a lot more to the quality of life in the US than Jennings ever did. If memory serves, there is even an "Israeli War Bonds Way" not far from the UN, ironically enough.
66th street is one way and heading west. So yes.
He did? Who knew?
Will Canada be renaming any streets, after all, Jennings was a canuck!
I may have to go walk my dog on west 66th stW

Please don't do that before you see post 33.
Thanks for that recap. I remember Jennings interviewing Hannan Ashrawi after Septmeber 11th. Well, it really wasn't an interview, he just let her rant for a few minutes. Good Night and Good Luck Peter!
FWIW, Jennings became an American citizen in 2003.
So? He spent most of his life as a Canadian citizen, so the question is still on the board, will Canada be renaming any streets.......
RATher wants 16th street named after him, but he still can't figure out the small "th" stuff.......DOH!!
A big fan of 60's radio, I used to listen to the big AM 50,000 watt monsters and loved WABC. Peter Jennings was a newsman there early. But the night jock, Cousin Brucie Morrow, has a piece of 6th Avenue named for him in (I believe between 51st and 52nd St.). It's Cousin Brucie Way.
The next President of the United States had it named for him in the 90's.
