WTF? DC councilman wants to rename Pennsylvania Avenue
 
DC councilman wants to rename Pennsylvania Avenue


WASHINGTON—A D.C. Council member wants to highlight the city's lack of statehood and is asking residents to pick another name for Pennsylvania Avenue.

Among the options on the online survey are Let D.C. Vote Way, 51st State Way and Free D.C. Avenue.

Council member Michael Brown is considering a ceremonial renaming and the sign could be placed under existing markers for Pennsylvania Avenue, which is home to the White House.

The survey also asks residents whether other Washington streets should be renamed. Washington's 600,000 residents pay federal taxes but do not have a vote in Congress.

D.C. would be better off if they'd simply eliminate all of the state streets. Why take a perfectly good grid and screw it up with diagonal roads?

i am surprised they don't want to re-name it Martin Luther King Ave.

I wouldn't mind this. Pretty humorous in a non politically correct way.

Let D.C. vote way or 51st state lane is dumb. You're the Capital City, not a state. Deal with it.

How about "If you don't like it, move to Maryland and shoot people there" Blvd.

How about going to the States and put your money where your mouth is and try? :cheers:

Let's see what happens first. :leaving:

Actually just the opposite, if I had a problem with how someone names a street in a State I don't even live in; I'd write a letter to the Govenor.

Not bash the State on a Corvette Forum. See the point?

Just to be crystal clear; partner. :cheers:
