obama & fillmore, san francisco

Bush Street is now Obama Street.

I caught a team of change ninjas working their way through San Francisco in the early hours of January 20. You can find more photos of the signs by following the obamastreetsign tag or reading the sfgate coverage.

Bush Street was originally named for J.P. Bush.

Great job there. Nice little joke, even better when the SFPD poses with you guys...http://flickr.com/photos/timpratt/3212 311345/in/set-72157612742332289/

It's really too bad that this transition is not happening with Bush going into Jail for the rest of his life though. As satisfactory as the whole thing is, I have little hope that anything is going to be achieved so devastated is the state of this country, and to put Barack Obama at the wheel during such times is like giving him the wheel of a sinking oil tanker.... :(

Incredibly poor taste. Never mind the fact this street was named after an early leader of San Francisco, Dr. Jonathan Bush.

Listen to our new President when he said in his Inaugural address, "the time has come to set aside childish things."

In this season of change, my hope is that all of you grow up.

Bush Street is reported to have been named for J.P. Bush who reached Yerba Buena in 1845 as a cabin boy on the whaler Margaret. He assisted Jasper O'Farrell in making the first map of The City. One story is that O'Farrell named the street after him in lieu of payment for his services with the survey.

Believe in Obama, Believe in peace love and understanding.

Dazzling,

Wake up!

Monica's Dad says:

Well, Dazzling Julz said it -- you left the Bush sign above the Obama one, which I like since I admire Bush and can't stand His Holiness, the One. But really, if you wanted to make a funny statement, you should have cropped your photo so as to remove the Bush sign. As it is, you seem to have made the unintentional photographic statement that topping Bush is simply impossible, and that Obama and his minions are stuck below, reaching but frustrated in their efforts to pull down the object of their rage. How ironic.
