That’s going to take up two address lines on an Amazon label (hope people there don’t also have to add a suite # or apartment #). How are they going to fit that all on the street signs?

Just call it LSD on the label. If the mailman is from Chicago, it will get to the right address.

Back in the day when the major street renaming was for "Dr Martin Luther King Jr" (Street/Boulevard etc), an unexpected and expensive consequence was the Post Office insistence (political) that the name be fully spelled out, especially in business and metered mail.

What happened in those 'old tech' days was that lots of the software had limited space on their stored name fields, oops. Thus mail got returned as mis-addressed and other such shenanigans!

Quick flood of complaints by political donors to their Congress-critters got a quick but grudging acceptance to using the 'MLK' or "ML King" abbreviations in that place.

Thus I think someone was smart in retaining "Lake Shore" in the name keeps the natives from getting on the warpath!
