    That's 5th Ave NYC, which has more traffic in a day than you can count and is one of the wealthiest shopping districts in the world. Its not there for the idle passerby.

    Perhaps they should also consider renaming El Paso - Che Guevaraville

    I'd suggest someone more relevant.

    Like Cesar Chavez or Diego Rivera.

    They truly represent the spirit of Mexican culture and peoples.

    Che was Argentinian by birth, and a Cuban Marxist revolutionary.

    Its the most expensive shopping district in the world, and if you rename 5th ave Chi Rivera or whoever people will assume its a fashion statement. The sad legacy of Chi is that he has been largely reduced to a fashion icon. A more manly Andy Warhol! As far as NY residents are concerned, Chi is not even worthy of a poseable doll, while the only thing Obama ever did wrong was to be born black. Too bad Chi was not a bodybuilder, or he might have been more popular.

    New York is a fairly liberal city. Even if it's not offical if every New Yorker referred to it as Obama Ave it's enough to annoy who it is meant to. Lots of examples of people using an informal name. In my own city for example no one calls the Bronco stadium what it's really called.

    All we need is a Jon Oliver or Colbert to put this is in a monologue. Each of those men has gotten things tending overnight before.

    Annoying insane megalomaniacs who hold the nuclear football, never pay taxes, and cut the mass media a deal on their rent, is classic Americana. That's about as meaningful as American politics get these days.

    It made me smile to imagine Trump having to tell someone that he owns a building on Obama Avenue.
    Actually he has his name on lots of buildings that are NOT his
