Just In: Atlanta's Confederate streets get new names
Source: Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms signed a bill Wednesday officially renaming three city streets with Confederate in their names.
Confederate Avenue and East Confederate Avenue will be renamed United Avenue and United Avenue S.E., respectively and a third street, Confederate Court, will be renamed Trestletree Court, after apartment buildings that are on the street.
After a months-long campaign that included meetings, door-to-door canvassing and a ballot process spearheaded by residents who live along the streets, the renaming measure got the unanimous vote of the Atlanta City Council on Monday. In a small, private ceremony attended by City Council Member Carla Smith, who pushed the legislation through, Bottoms turned the page on a contentious issue.
Residents of the neighborhoods chose the new names and new street signs are expected to begin going up after Thanksgiving.

Tom Hartmann used to say that long ago there was a city ordinance or state law preventing African Americans from living on streets with "Peach" in their name. Hence, there was a proliferation of variations of the name.

But, on topic....this will piss off a lot of folks. Won't be surprised if it gets used in the Govenor's race somehow.
Something Georgia can rightly be proud of:
