A Red Letter Day Approaches on Hooker Street

[sandgk]

Apparently one concerned and very Reverend fellow in Whitewood City, South Dakota thinks there may be an image problem when one of the town's main thoroughfares is called "Hooker Street."

He even thinks that changing it to General Hooker Street wouldn't overcome the issue. Can't think why not. Perhaps "Special Hooker Street" would be better?

Good job he doesn't live in Intercourse, PA. :tongue2:


Who knows, maybe the Whitewood residents could volunteer to move Baer to a location more in keeping with his Biblical aims - like, say, HellGate, MT.

Any renaming would affect one resident and six water bill accounts, said Brenda Lindstrom, Whitewood city finance officer.

Well, dang, you just can't have that many people inconvenienced!

Well... changing given fighting Joe Hooker's reputation as a drunkard womanizer, I doubt that helps.

John Lee Hooker Street?

I imagine they don't take kindly to "One Bourbon, One Scotch and One Beer" round those parts either.
