On Friday, it became official, LSD is no more. Lake Shore Drive was officially renamed Jean Baptiste Pointe DuSable Lake Shore Drive, which really rolls off the tongue. The move honors Jean Baptistie Pointe DuSable, who is credited as one of the founders of Chicago, which is great, but this is not the move to honor DuSable. This is something that no one asked for. This is a bizarre way to alter something legendary in the city.
Next time someone needs directions, just be sure to tell them to take the JBPDLSD South. They’ll know exactly what you mean.
