In my best Bob Newhart voice:
RING
"Hello, this is Acme towing ... broke down by the side of the road, you say? What's your address? No, I don't think we can get down there right now. How about in the morning? No, I wouldn't get out of the car ... how about a Taxi? Uber? They wouldn't come either?

We should set up a series of road signs.
Utopia, This Way.
Utopia, Next Exist.
Utopia, This Way.
And on and on and on...............

Now we’re naming streets after criminals?? Stop making like Floyd was some sweet little kid who regularly helped old ladies cross the street.
To: Olog-hai
didn’t he hold a woman at gun-point while he robbed her? We’re naming streets after criminals now?

Well, Lenox Avenue in Manhattan was “co-named” Malcolm X Boulevard in 1987, so there is precedent.

We were house hunting in NY state in 2000 and wouldnt even LOOK at houses on Clinton Street.
Possibly named after DeWitt Clinton who was behind the construction of the Erie Canal. Now Obama Street, Malcom X Ave, or Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Blvd. are another thing entirely!

Definitely named after DeWitt Clinton. It was just the Word, “Clinton” at that point in history ...
A song we sang in school when I was growing up in NY: Do you recognize it?
“Oh I had a mule and her name was Sal...”
