Agreed. Outside of major tourist areas (where perhaps you could argue that it adds to the "fun" atmoshpere to name streets after Chicago celebrities), it is one of those little irritating money wasters in our city government. |

Or the stretch of State Street named in honor of Hugh Hefner. We already had an honorary Hugh Hefner street -- it's called Wacker Drive.
