Driving Down Trump Boulevard

Earlier today, Donald Trump renamed Lake Ontario. The new name? Lake America.
I am so sick of this idiotic renaming game. For the last decade, the Woke Left played this game, then, in the past few years, Donald Trump has taken the renaming fad to an absurd new level---
This just in at Reason: Trump Threatens To Demolish Kennedy Center Unless He Can Put His Name on It
You know what? We wish we had the power to rename things at Beacon of Speech.
Back when I was a kid, the story of Love Canal scared the crap out of me.
Here's a brief synopsis from AI for those that are unfamiliar: "Love Canal is a neighborhood in Niagara Falls, New York, that became the site of one of the worst environmental and public health disasters in U.S. history, leading to the creation of the federal Superfund program."
For a much more thorough explanation about what happened at Love Canal, read this longform article from Dr. Jordan Kleiman at Geneseo College. Anyhow, a few years back, my wife and I got lost on a trip to Niagara Falls, on the American side, and ended up smack dab in the middle of the Love Canal neighborhood. One intersection looked like the street at the entrance of Chernobyl.
The heart of Love Canal? 95th and Read Avenue:
"Busiest" intersection? Colvin and 95th:
You want to buy a house in Love Canal? There are no houses there. Don't believe me? Check out Zillow:
What is my meandering point? I hereby petition the City of Niagara Falls to rename 95th Street as Trump Boulevard.
I can think of no higher "honor" than naming an abandoned road in the middle of a Superfund Site after Donald Trump.
As a matter of fact, I think every major city in America should name their shittiest road after Donald Trump. Not the most crime-riddled street, but a road to remind the people of America's Post-Industrial Wasteland.
Ah, good ol' Holton Ave. in Cleveland, Ohio. Mostly abandoned and under a freeway, Holton Ave should have the new moniker of Trump Mews. If you click on the link under the photo, you can check out the work of some of Cleveland's finest graffiti artists as you go westbound down Holton.
Glendale St. in Detroit's historic Brightmoor District? That will have the new name of The Trump Arterial.
I think you get the picture. This country is going right down the toilet and we're worried about re-naming things.
Editor's Note:
I know you don't care, but I cannot convey how much this whole Lake America thing has put me in a piss-poor mood.
