No Rickey Jackson either. Sad.

I don't have any objection to any of the renamings, but I don't like this practice of renaming with full names - even worse if they are going to put nicknames in quotations. If you are renaming a street with a single surname (like Tulane) replace it with another surname. These 4-name streets are ridiculous.

Yeah they set a bad precedent for that a few years ago when Jason Williams pushed to rename certain blocks (not even the whole street) after politically supportive pastors. So now 4 blocks of Lasalle St are "Rev. John Raphael Jr. Way" and 3 blocks of Carondelet are "Robert C. Blakes Sr. Drive."

I wonder if they will really change Calhoun Street to "Father Louis J. Twomey Street"
