They couldn’t get me at home with their bogus street ‘improvements’, so now the city is targeting me where I work. Bastards.
New Portland street now in the running to honor Cesar Chavez
It now looks as if the Portland City Council won’t rename North Interstate Avenue for Cesar Chavez on Thursday after all. Instead, there appears to be four votes to rename Southwest Fourth Avenue — where City Hall sits — for the farm worker labor leader, tossing new fuel into a debate that has enflamed community passions in recent weeks. City Commissioner Dan Saltzman told Mayor Tom Potter late today that he has the votes for the Fourth Avenue name change, according to John Doussard, the mayor’s spokesman.
Do the raging assclowns at City Hall not know that there happen to be other businesses and organizations on SW 4th, or do they just not give a shit about all the hassle this would cause? For all the same reasons this was a stupid idea for Interstate it is a stupid idea for SW 4th. And I’m not even going to attempt a discussion as to whether this street or any street in town should be renamed after Mr. Chavez. To even obliquely attempt to raise that topic in the People’s Soviet of Portland will get you branded as a member of the KKK, and I got enough problems in this town as it is. Anyway, if this thing goes through I predict that this city is going to see some ugliness. Me, I’m going to confine myself to launching a campaign to change the name of whatever cross street City Hall happens to sit on. Rumsfeld Avenue has a nice ring to it I think, but then again so does Karl Rove Blvd. Or maybe just W street. Hell, I’d be happy with Ichiro Lane. Anyone else got anything better?
