Arch Street To Be Renamed!

I saw this on one of the maps in the subway station today. Apparently, Arch Street will be renamed "My Dick Street." It must not be final yet, as the old street name was crossed out with black magic marker, with the new name just written beside it.

That's a bold move by the City. It proves Philly is finally ready to progess into the 21st Century, abandoning its ARCHaic institutions and embracing the younger generation's insane and undercooked whims!

That's a little too Phalladelphia. I think it's time to move to Regina or Titusville...

A better move than renaming Arch Street would be to rename one of its cross-streets as "Meathead Avenue." Arch and Meathead were always crossing one another, so this intersection would -- like Speakers' Corner in Hyde Park -- serve as a meeting place where all the pinko commie liberals could publicly argue with the crass Nixon-loving bigots -- as long as they all imitate Arch when they speak, huh? Aww geez, dummy up, would'juz dingbat?

I bet Prince Charles will be visiting "My Dick Street" today. It's right up there after Independence Hall and The Liberty Bell as far as attractions go.

I think they should rename it "XNQZU2 Street". Really screw with the tourists.

The heir to the English crown in the city where American independence was born?

That's like hanging out in the bar where your boyfriend dumped you...

"Dear King George, I think we'd work better as friends. It's not you, it's me. But keep in touch okay? But seriously, never come here again. Take it easy.

Yeah, the Declaration of Independence was essentially the most famous Dear John letter in history.

A Dear John Bull letter, actually.

Then we had to go fight the War of 1812 because Great Britain was so obsessed with us.

Even then, they didn't get the hint, and it took a restraining order known as the Monroe Doctrine to make them get lost.

Finally, they hooked up with India and South Africa and moved on with their life.
