All this talk of renaming streets, and the city still hasn't renamed E. 26th to "Brown and Haley Drive". More »

Rail transit is a catalyst for growth almost everyplace it's been put. Up 11th, over MLK, and down 13th would be good for pushing growth and restoration of that area. More »

Maybe fredo could provide the peanut gallery with a list showing the number of business failures before and after the name change on K/ MLK street. Then a list of business failures on Tacoma Ave, or Pac Ave for the exact same date. More »

I think all would agree that K Street was in decline long before it was renamed. Helen Ritts Insurance moved to the Stadium District but I think the move was more of a protest to the renaming. More »

For all you kids that are too young to remember, King County actually did change their namesake in back 1986. County officials apparently thought it better to honor a great man, than a long forgotten vice president of one of the worst presidents in history (not George in this case),, but Franklin Pierce.
