When they demand that the Sen Robert Kennedy Bridge in NYC be reverted back to it’s original name, the Triboro

Maybe it will change as a generational thing, but that seems to be one of the biggest renaming fails I've ever seen. They renamed the bridge what, 7 years ago, and I have never once heard anyone call it anything other than the Triboro. Maybe traffic reporters and others who have to use the "official" name, but never in conversation.

Come to think of it, same thing with the Battery Tunnel--does anyone call it the Hugh Carey tunnel??

I forgot about that one. Heck, more people remember the time then NJ Gov Christine Whitman, as a joke, named a men's room at one of the rest area on the NJ Turnpike after Howard Stern.

On the DC Beltway, there is the Woodrow Wilson Bridge. We should rename it.
