My mother went to Robert E. Lee Elementary School in Baton Rouge (1950's). I wonder how many southern schools were given General Lee's name, and I wonder how many have kept it.

My mother went to Robert E. Lee Elementary School in Baton Rouge (1950's). I wonder how many southern schools were given General Lee's name, and I wonder how many have kept it.

Here in Virginia, quite a few.

As relatively a new resident of central VA, it has been amusing trying to navigate. The roads all seem to be named "Lee" or "Jackson" or "Lee-Jackson". To make matters even worse, the road numbers don't follow the highway names. They twist around, with no apparent logic or pattern. More than once I have had to navigate off the sun.

If you ever come here, bring a GPS device.

And if anyone ever tells you that their address is 26450 Lee-Jackson Highway, rest assured that you will never find it.
