I'm in North Little Rock, Ark. for one of my delivery stops.

I passed a road sign for Clinton National Airport and got me to thinking! We have Presidents and other important people’s names on a lot different things, airports, monuments, highways, bridges, tunnels and more.

I wonder if they will name a sewage dump after Drumpy Trump? It’s only fitting and fair!

I'm still amazed that the Hoover dam is still named as such. Javaman Aug 2025 #2
Hoover actually did some good things. Dealing with the Great Depression was not one of them. eppur_se_muova Aug 2025 #4

In 1914, the outbreak of World War I, he organized and headed the Commission for Relief in Belgium, an international relief organization that provided food to occupied Belgium. When the U.S. entered the war in 1917, President Woodrow Wilson appointed Hoover to lead the Food Administration. He became famous as his country's "food dictator". After the war, Hoover led the American Relief Administration, which provided food to the starving millions in Central and Eastern Europe, especially Russia. Hoover's wartime service made him a favorite of many progressives, and he unsuccessfully sought the Republican nomination in the 1920 U.S. presidential election.

Hoover served as Secretary of Commerce under presidents Warren G. Harding and Calvin Coolidge. Hoover was an unusually active and visible Cabinet member, becoming known as "Secretary of Commerce and Under-Secretary of all other departments." He was influential in the development of air travel and radio. Hoover led the federal response to the Great Mississippi Flood of 1927.

Unfortunately, he is rarely remembered for all he accomplished before he became President.

At least it serves a purpose, unlike DJT.

Actually, I've never even thought about things being named after him. Oh, the horror!
