The city of Los Angeles is honoring Obama by renaming a road in his honor next month.

Rodeo Road will be officially renamed Obama Boulevard on May 4 during a renaming ceremony and street festival on May 4, according to a social media post from City Council President Herb Wesson.

The City Council unanimously approved Wesson’s proposal last summer to rename a 4-mile stretch of Rodeo Road between Jefferson Boulevard and Arlington Avenue in honor of the 44th president, KTLA-TV reported.

The renaming ceremony and festival will take place where Obama Boulevard intersects with Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard in South L.A.

I ask the city council where I live to name the road running between the town dump and the sewage plant after the Royal Idiot ... they refused because they thought that it would run down the property values.

If it’s anything like a typical big city MLK Blvd no self respecting person would want to drive there after dark.

[digger48]

It intersects with MLK.

Expect that intersection to have a chicken franchise on every corner

Don’t confuse this place with the famous Rodeo Dr., which is a tourist trap; this is Rodeo (pronounced Rodeo - like the western festival) Rd. Totally diff place.

Go look it up on a map. lol

If’n you want to get shot after dark, venture onto any road named after martin king. If’n you want to get shot anytime of the day, venture onto any road named after o’bummer.

Let me guess, it goes both ways.
