#2 Krakow already renamed a street after Reagan (or was it a roundabout?). Ronald Reagan Square or something like that.

Warsaw has an avenue named United States Avenue. But then again, the whole of eastern Warsaw is known as "Prague" (Praga) and there is a roundabout named after Charles De Gaulle, The U.N., and Thomas Woodrow Wilson.

#4 I hope they can raise enough money for it so they don't get stuck with a statue of Jimmy Carter.

#5 It can happen here, xbalanke. And it's not pretty...

Marge fails to make marshmallow treats for the town bake sale, which results in Springfield being unable to afford a statue of Abraham Lincoln. They settle for a bronze President Carter instead. When it's unveiled, someone shouts, "Jimmy Carter!? He's history's greatest monster!" and the town riots.
