Nobody lives there and nobody has an address there, but the strip of pavement formerly known as Capital Parkway West is now called Rosa Parks Way. I don't have any feelings one way or the other about the name of that stretch of road, so this is basically non-news to me. I do, however, get a kick out of listening to and reading comments from people who are, for some inexplicable reason, adamantly opposed to the new name. I don't understand the need to spend so many calories calling it, in the words of one LJS commenter, "the stupidest thing I've seen yet". Methinks that commenter walks around with his eyes closed too often.

See what your friends and neighbors have to say about this.
People just loooove to get upset about stuff.
Besides the fact that I think Rosa Parks could use more streets named after her, I think the name is a nice one. Prettier than “Capital Parkway West,” at the very least.
I know what Rosa Parks did and all and what she means to society but…why Lincoln? What connection does she have to Lincoln? Or Nebraska for that matter?
Why not name a road after a famous Nebraskan? Or a famous Lincolnite?
Lincoln has a long history of naming things after people despite no direct connection between the city and the person. Lincoln used to be called Lancaster, y’know…
