Why don't they have highways sponsored by businesses?

Why not “The Staples Highway” or “The Google Highway”? Gee...The state is bankrupt isn't it? Get some money out of the highway for advertising?

How about, “This landscaping is courtesy of In-and-Out Burger”?

State finances are going to Hell in a handbasket, but the elected representatives of the people still have time to attend to the really important stuff.

And then it should immediately be renamed because it’s offensive to people.

I think it’s the section where you can let your dog go potty.

I-55 doesn't go through the worst neighborhoods in Chicago, that would be I-94 which does, the Dan Ryan. I agree with you that I-94 should be named after Oblablablablama.
