I remember being ticked when they wanted to rename "The Stick" - 3Com Park. The anger subsided in time for them to name the new Giants home, "Pac Bell Park". But this is ridiculous!

The SF Board of Supervisors want to rename the Bay Bridge after a demented nut job.

What a great idea!?

The "Gavin Newsom Bridge" would make the exact same statement. ;)

I like it. Emperor Norton was a classic eccentric Gold Rush figure. Maybe naming the bridge for him will inspire some kid to study California history.

At least the Parks brought in extra revenue with the changes.

Whatever. At least they could have sold the naming rights for a few million so they could build some homeless shelters, needle giveaway storefronts, and AIDS centers.

How about we just rename San Francisco..."Some Flim Flam Farsco" and and ignore the Bored of Stuporvisors.

I was expecting it to be named the Harvey Milk Bridge.

Seems to me the "Ed Norton" bridge would be more apropos.
