When Richard Nixon died in 1994, The Times observed that he had "resuscitated his reputation and emerged as an elder statesman," but "he never got his freeway back."
The reference was to California 90, between the 405 Freeway and मरीना del Rey, which state lawmakers had named in his honor in 1971.
In 1976, with Nixon's image tarnished द्वारा Watergate, lawmakers quietly responded to the request of local Chamber of Commerce officials and took his name off the 2.5-mile roadway. The Nixon Freeway became the मरीना Freeway.
The episode illustrates how naming a geographical place in honor of a living person can be risky.
In 1989, Gardner सड़क, स्ट्रीट Elementary School in Hollywood unveiled Michael Jackson Auditorium.
But the school covered up the sign in 2003 after Jackson's arrest on suspicion of child molestation.
Following his death last year, however, his प्रशंसकों called for his name to be restored, and the Los Angeles Unified School District agreed to do so in recognition of "his musical legacy and contribution to modern culture."
