Politicians are so egotistical...When my father built a home in the 70's and we would only be the 2nd house on the street, the Mayor asked my father if he would liked the street renamed after our family name. My father declined, thinking that it was too pretentious. Politicians unfortunately are egotists and want things named after them...so pretentious. There are so many more important people that are more deserving, if the need to name a building or street is required, but why name a building in the first place. My buildings do not have names, does your house? Ridiculous. 'Daley' isn't going anywhere Mayor's name will remain long after he leaves office on signs, plaques September 09, 2010\|By Cynthia Dizikes and Dawn Rhodes, Tribune reporters Mayor Richard M. Daley may be leaving office next spring, but his name won't be out of sight anytime soon. Like politicians everywhere, Daley was never afraid of putting his name in prominent places. From the Old Water Tower to U.S. Cellular Field, from Millennium Park to Humboldt Park, plaques and engravings bearing Daley's name will remain long after the man himself has left office.
