No more Lake Shore Drive?

April 30, 2021 | <3 Lauren

A committee just voted in favor of renaming part of Lake Shore Drive (from Hollywood Avenue to 67th Street) to Jean Baptiste Point Du Sable Drive in honor of Chicago’s first resident, but is this the best idea?

We don’t exactly have the greatest track record on accepting new names.

See: Sears Tower.

JBPDSD for short?  Just spitballing here.  <3 Lauren
