I like the senior Bush, but I don't understand the idea of naming ships
after people who are still alive. It seems weird to me.
It seems a little weird to me also. Hell, in Miami they have a Don Shula
Expressway. I wish Don no harm, but they should have waited until he's
dead.
And a Dan Marino Blvd. south of Dolphin Stadium.

We have Veronica Shoemnaker Blvd and she is still on the city council
(and the owner of a store with the same name in the city)
They did make the county change Dr David C Brown highway since he was
also advertising his practice on TV at the time.
There is also a Ben Hill Griffin parkway (Katherine Harris' granddad)
but he is dead now

There's a Pat Salerno Drive in Broward County named after a City Manager
who was pushed out of office - he's doing something in Wichita now. I
wonder how they will handle that.
