They should change all the names in that godforsaken town. The intersection of Jibbity Jibbity Lane and Reparation Street has a nice ring to it.
For shame, Evanston! Honoring the thugs who ravaged our cities – yours included.
Grow a spine and stand up to this nonsense.
There are no fools like Democrat fools.
It should be called Communist lane.
Is the street called Fry ‘Em Like Bacon Boulevard, or Pigs in a Blanket Parkway. I’m sure BLM would be happy having their mantra on either one.
Its for votes,that’s all that matters,soon lesbian lane,shemale street,communist circle,you can keep going on.
Does the honorary street name come with a mansion similar to that which its’ leaders get? Grifters, the lot of ’em. And the sheep who bleat their message? Pathetic.
You gotta love Evanston The liberal bastion!
High taxes, crime!! LOL
