I'm not crazy about naming things for politicians (including Reagan) anyway,I couldn't agree with you more. I've never been a fan of re-naming stuff unless there was a compelling reason for it. This desire of politicians or their supporters to have structures re-named for them especially when they had nothing to do with the original construction is baffling. It costs tens of thousands of dollars to change all the signage when they changed the names of the Queensborough and Triborough Bridges. Up where I live we didn't "re-name" the bridges we just add to the name. The Mid-Hudson Bridge was aptly named because it stands more or less in the middle of the navigable part of the Hudson River. Now its the Franklin Delano Roosevelt Mid-Hudson Bridge. By the time that you say that you could be halfway across the Hudson. The Newburgh-Beacon Bridge didn't have a very interesting name but at least it told you what cities it connected. Now its the Hamilton Fish Newburgh Beacon Bridge. The bridge actually consists of two separate structures. Pretty soon someone will come up with a separate name for each of the spans. Larry, RedbirdR33 |
