I think a lot of people— including me — will continue to call it Lake Shore Drive, just as we continue to use Sears Tower and Comiskey. It wasn’t an easy transition from Marshall Field’s to Macy’s, either.
The new name includes Lake Shore Drive, so we can just say we’re saving our breath by using it.
If they had to change it to honor someone, I guess duSable is as good as anyone and better than most. MLK Drive is already use. They could have named it after a certain former president.
That's a good point. If given those two options, the one they chose is the better of the two.
But the modern-day cultural Taliban will continue to remove monuments of the past and add statues and change names to honor their cultural jihadi heroes.
