They changed Washington National Airport, America’s capital airport named for our first president, to Ronald Reagan Airport. I mean seriously! WTF?! I’m still pissed about it. It could have been a President I loved and I would be against it.
They also named the Florida Turnpike Ronald Reagan Turnpike. Why? If it was a California turnpike that would make more sense to. Or, even an airport in California.
Reagan fired something like 10,000 air traffic controllers when they were striking, I don’t remember the whole story, and he gets an airport? Our nation’s capital airport? I know I’m repeating myself.
So, it doesn’t bother so much that Reagan got the FL Turnpike, even though it doesn’t really make sense to me, and if 5th Avenue isn’t already named for someone else then I’m ok with making it Obama Ave. It will still be 5th also I assume.
