At least 65 homeowners might need to change their addresses if Montgomery County follows through with a plan to rename streets, facilities and trails that have Confederate references.
The process would require homeowners to change the address on their utilities, mortgages, deeds and land records — a cost of a couple hundred dollars per property, county officials said Monday during a County Council committee meeting.
The county is looking into the specific costs to each homeowner and the ability to set up an opt-in reimbursement program for those costs.
The Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission (M-NCPPC) and the county’s parks and planning departments have started creating a database of names of Confederate soldiers and sympathizers who lived in the county, as well as residents who enslaved people in the county. The County Council requested that review on June 15.
The new database can be matched against an existing database of the names of the county’s streets and public facilities to identify potential candidates for renaming.
The first phase of the project, which matched nationally known Confederate full names, identified three streets — with 65 houses — and one park trail...

“America: Our Changing Past”.
Since we are erasing and changing history, how do we REALLY know that there were ever any black slaves? My family wasn’t here when this was supposedly going on. Seems hard for me to believe. Sounds like a set-up for excuses and free stuff.
She doesn’t care about our history because it is not her history.
Just part of the reason the founders insisted on natural born citizens only for President.
What difference does it make?
Even when it was happening in southern states, no one fought back over the issue.
I get it. It wasn’t the time to put it all on the line yet.
But now that a coup has followed, along with even WASHINGTON and JEFFERSON and even LINCOLN statues being torn down, we know their end game.
And it is our demise.
If, God forbid, something resembling a war breaks out, it is a lost cause without the south onboard.
I am not leaving Staten Island and people would be surprised how much damage a few hundred thousand Italians can do.
So if you don’t go the way of secession, please make it up here at some point as we will need the help by then!!
New York didn’t go 90/10 biden.
More like 60/40.
And 40 percent of real men can do a lot of damage than the 60 percent who are metrosexuals and young antifa/blm punks.
So we can hold out, I think.
But still, we will be waiting on you!!
But until then, I pray VERY HARD that this all ends peacefully and that the constitution is upheld and the Republic saved with no bloodshed.
ciao my Southern Paesani
We have court documents like affidavits to prove it - I saw it on PBS
In the town that I live in, we have an intersection of Jefferson Davis and Robert E. Lee Drives.
Where the Democrats now hold veto proof majorities in both chambers there ? No thanks ...
That’s the IDEA of war.
You take the land and chance the rules!
Don’t be cheap!!
A few hundred thousand men is all the help we’ll need.
You can have all the fracking rights :)
wont ever be a Main Street in the US again...His family were ALL Rebels!
and he has a stable of Lawyers just waiting to get off of a retainer fee....
Oh, how woke of Monkey County to erase more American history in the name of ‘progressiveness’. That’s how you control weak-minded sheeple: instill more angst in their miserable lives by attacking boogeymen whom they never saw or experienced. Make them feel like the burden of their own existential morass has been somehow lifted from them by slaying Dead White People.
Oh, and *PING*!
Moron County, MD
What are the names of the three streets.
From article:
The three streets are Jeb Stuart Court, Jeb Stuart Road and Jubal Early Court
...
Riemer requested that Whites Ford Way in Potomac and Lee Street in Takoma Park be included in the first streets that are renamed. White’s Ford on the Potomac River was used by Robert E. Lee and other Confederate generals during the Civil War.
so misguided
Anyone named Davis, Jackson, Lee, etc. will have to move.
