California's third most populous city has renamed a section of a prominent street "Barack Obama Boulevard."
The boulevard through downtown San Jose is the first street in the Bay Area to be named for the nation's first Black president after four years of planning, FOX 2 of the Bay Area reported.
"We always felt like it was going to happen because there was bipartisan support," Alex Shoor, who proposed the idea in 2017, told The Mercury News. "San Jose is a progressive, open-minded city. Most of us want to grow up in a country where any one of our children can reach their dreams and ascend to the highest office in the land."

far from being a major boulevard, consisting of auto repair shops, ripped upholstery places, and parking lots (for the nearby stadium).
also contains a couple of favourite gay sex meeting spots (I am told, having no personal experience in such matters, smile smile)
so it could be an appropriate choice (although renaming Los Esteros Road would have been a fine fitting selection for Obama, given that it is the home of the huge San Jose regional shit processing plant, one of the largest in USA (and with a history of polluting San Francisco Bay with a vengeance).

“FUBO Street” has a nice ring to it...I’d call it that...
Because “Despicable Little Turd Street” won’t all fit on the sign...

“ The United States should not be naming streets, ships, buildings, etc. after living people. ”
I agree and I am also not a fan of civil holidays like caesar Chavez, mlk, George Floyd (did that happen yet?)

Barry Soetoro was an Indonesian citizen when he returned from Indonesia. I wonder how many streets the Indonesians are naming after him? How many bath houses?

Every damn Martin Luther King Blvd we see in this country features drugs,murders,gangs,pimps and car washes. Count on every Barack Hussein Obama Blvd being exactly the same.

Coming soon: pawn shops, liquor stores, check cashing, chicken shacks, drive-bys, and signs reading: WE TAKE EBT.
