| L.A's Newest Street: Barack Obama Boulevard |
| 2018-08-30 |
| So, it'll cost four to six times as much as advertised? [LA Times] - The Los Angeles City Council voted to rename Rodeo Road as Obama Boulevard in honor of former President Obama, Mayor Eric Garcetti announced in a tweet Tuesday night. "We’re thrilled that Angelenos and visitors will forever be reminded of the legacy of President @BarackObama when traveling across L.A.," he said in the tweet. City Council President Herb Wesson proposed the name change in June 2017. Not to be confused with the upscale Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills (dodged a bullet there! - ed), Rodeo Road is a 3.5-mile street that runs from near the Culver City border east to Mid-City. |

| #10 #7 The left/Dems are a bit schizoid. They tear down Confederate civil war monuments and yet they were the party of the KKK. At the same time they build monuments to crack-smoking mayor Marion Barry. , "Bitch set me up...I shouldn't have come up here...goddamn bitch". |

| #4 New Barack Obama Blvds will be just like the Martin King Jr Blvds in most cities. Where the worst poverty, crime and drugs in the black communities are. |
