Haha, Awesome :)

Nice job! I'll vote for that in Nov!

A new Beginning indeed....

Greatness.

this makes me so happy -- especially BEGIN!

To be clear, YES that is me in the photo, but NO I had nothing to do with actually changing the signs (seriously). I can't take any credit for that brilliant idea. However, I *am* serious about putting a city measure on the San Francisco ballot for this November to make the change official. Paging Chicking John! Let's make this happen!

Make that Paging *Chicken* John!

T, that's just awesome

Sure you don't want to give it a couple of months and see how it goes before you start collecting signatures? Your faith in Jesus President is strong...

But who was the 'original' Bush the St. was named for?

I like it :)

Bush Street J.P. Bush Helped O’Farrell Survey San Francisco

This is perhaps the most difficult to trace of all the early San Francisco street names. The name of Dr. Jonathan P. Bush has been suggested, but he did not arrive until 1849, and Bush Street appears on the two earliest maps with street names–both published in 1847. An unverified story published in the San Francisco Chronicle August 17, 1893, tells of a man coming to San Francisco from Oregon, claiming he was J. P. Bush. He said he had first arrived in San Francisco in 1845 as a cabin boy on the New England Whaler Margaret, then deserted and became one of O’Farrell’s assistants in mapping the city’s streets in 1847, and that O’Farrell had named Bush Street for him. This Chronicle story is the most likely explanation of the name.
