BWA-HA HA Pranksters in SF Change bush Street to Obama Street
Early yesterday morning in San Francisco, a group of pranksters--which
apparently included someone with graphic design and signage
experience--changed Bush Street to Obama Street.

4. The city could officially change the name.
There are costs involved, but it's been done before.

There was a campaign near my home to change the name of a rural road to "A.G. Spanos parkway", in honor of the wealthy developer who wished to turn rich farmland into suburban sprawl.
He succeeded with the sprawl, didn't succeed with the name change.

But San Francisco? It could be done!
