Twenty years ago there was a rush to have almost every city to have a MLK road. In itself there is nothing wrong with honoring Dr King and the things he stood for.

Unfortunately, almost everyone of those roads, opened with great fan fare and promises, have turn into slums. Closed stores, empty malls, and homes with “security bars” on them are the rule rather than the exception.

In short, rhetoric doesn't bring improvement.

As for roads honoring BHO1 (that's right I called him a king) I have to wonder what they will look like in 5 years - much less twenty.

I was going to point that out. It’s not exactly in a good neighborhood. And it really won’t take the pressure off Kirkman Rd.

I would have no problem if they renamed Orange Blossom Trail in Orlando, better know as OBT, which is famous for it’s prostitution, drug dealing, and every other crime you can think of to BOT, Barack Obama Trail. OBT to BOT.

Yes. Orlando now has the usual big city political pathologies and interest groups that hang about like sucker fish: strong, predatory public employee unions; politically energetic Black, Hispanic and gay communities; and a bloated City budget, presided over by crooks, incompetents, and Leftists, allied with business interests hungry for favors and patronage at public expense.

Shoplifters from Crime Hills though will have a quicker commute to the upscale Mall at Millenia.

Grayson picked off a weak Republican incumbent in 2008. Grayson also benefited from rising numbers of non-Cuban Hispanics in the area.

The Road To Nowhere.

NOT The High Road.

The Road To Serfdom. (No offense intended toward Friedrich von Hayek)

The Road To Perdition.

The Road To Ruin.

Definitely NOT The Road To El Dorado.

A road, that like its namesake, leads to nowhere.

Looking at the map it appears to be an expressway that’s going to give the thugs and bangers in Pine Hills much better access to the rich tourists down at the Mall at Millenia.
