naming a revered president after one of the most congested commuter
crossings in the world seems about as sensible as asking somebody to
kick you in the d!ck for the hell of it.
It's not like our first president got any better treatment by having
the GWB named after him which makes me think, does anybody put any
thought to this at all??
People hate bridges, airports and highways, yet there is always some
committee who thinks it'd be a great idea to name a terrible situation
after an iconic president.
It would be so much more appropriate to have them named after some
crappy member of congress in a state that hates them
""There are five hour delays at the Nancy Pelosi airport" or "Don't
get onto the Mitch McConnell expressway, there is an overturned
tractor trailer". Instead of people taking poor Washington's name in
vain
That's an East Coast thing.
ReplyDeleteIn California, bridges go by the names of the "Golden Gate Bridge" (even though it is red), "Bay Bridge," "San Rafael Bridge," "San Mateo Bridge," and stuff like that. Either named after cities, the state, or the body of water the bridge is crossing.
I think that is because no presidents other than Nixon have ever grown up in California, so who gives a crap about the presidents.
(Reagan was governor here but didn't grow up here).
