My local Congressman everyone... How is it ok to have Lady Bird Johnson park just up the road next to LBJ memorial but no Nancy Reagan park next to Reagan airport?

[I got the rope]

I hate it when we rename things

[Leep]

I knew she was older but
I didn’t realize she was part of the Confederacy?

[leaymane]

oh I think we both know it’s not just confederates they’re against.

The local residents really should have SOME say ... so let’s give them the choice between naming it after Nancy Reagan or Melania Trump.

The Governor Malcolm Wilson–Tappan Zee Bridge, commonly known as the “Tappan Zee Bridge”, since it was built in ‘52.

The $5 Bil Replacement bridge is now “Governor Mario M. Cuomo Bridge “, named after Saint Mario the ConMan, not the marvelous Video Game Hero.

How cool it would have been to be the RWR Bridge.

It's so RICH to have this airport *simultaneously* strut the names of two of the GREAT presidents - Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport.

[Red Badger]

Petty politics, plain and simple.

Let’s rename Ft. Marcy Park after Hillary.

Do you think they’s object?.................

[Freee-dame]

Maybe because Lady Baird had as her special project the beautification of public places

[Governor Dinwiddie]

#8: "Let’s rename Ft. Marcy Park after Hillary."

How about "Joint Park Clinton-Foster".

I’ve long thought the better move back then would have been to rename Dulles for Reagan and leave Washington National alone.

We loved going to Gravelley Point to watch the planes land when we lived in the area. I’ll never forget the look on my husband’s face when I took him there for the first time.

Stop naming ships after left-wing military haters, first.

I don’t need to give examples, do I?

[dfwgator]

Ships shouldn’t be named after people in the first place. Name them after places or battles.

[ridesthemiles]

You are willing to tear down every visible vestige of the confederacy-—but you cannot name one little park after Nancy Reagan???

[leaymane]

It would make even more sense for LAX, but whatever.

If I recall correctly, nobody gave me a choice when just about every main drag in the country was re-named Martin Luther King Boulevard.

[ExGeeEye]

And promptly became a $#!+hole.

[Robert357]

Ah yes.........JUST SAY NO!

[5th MEB]

YUP; a sh!thole overflowing with drugs, murder, pimps, and whores.
