“JD Daniel, USA Partners’ managing principal, said the firm has received approval from former President George Bush and wife, Barbara, to name the proposed complex in their honor. The facility, to be located on a 30-acre site west of Kingsley and north of Shadow Creek Parkway, would be called the George and Barbara Bush Sports Complex.” The Pearland City Council will vote on the proposal the Monday after Labor Day.

I’m all for naming something after someone, but can’t we bring back the tradition to wait until they are dead first?
GHWB has a couple here in Houston. Robert Byrd has the entire state of West Virginia locked up. There are countless others across this country.
We’ve even going to the point of naming things after just famous apolitical people that aren’t dead yet….How many streets does Andre Agasi have in Las Vegas?
WHY???
Can’t the entire clan sail gracefully back to Midland or Maine?
It’s bad enough the airport was hijacked with the name.
This is one dynasty I would sooner forget.
