Holiday. Celebrate.

Not so much.

There is no rest for the weary here at law school, even when the rest of the country is taking President's Day off. Such an important holiday ought not go unnoticed even if I don't get to spend it in bed, so here's some trivia:

Chicago is the only city with highways named after competitors in a presidential election. The Eisenhower (I-290) and the Stevenson (I-55) expressways are named after the two men who battled for the top spot in 1952 and 1956. Though he was a two-time presidential loser, Stevenson gets his highway mainly because he served as governor of Illinois and Ambassador to the United Nations. Eisenhower, of course, signed the legislation bringing the interstate highway system into existence.

But what about Reagan? Yes, his worshippers (and I do mean worshippers) are trying to put him on everything up to and including the $10 bill, but the two people he ran against are both alive. There is a Ronald Reagan Parkway in Gwinnett County, Georgia, which is in the same metro area as Jimmy Carter Boulevard, but the latter isn't actually a highway.

There is a Richard Nixon Parkway in his hometown of Yorba Linda, California, but there isn't anything named after John F. Kennedy, Hubert Humphrey or George McGovern nearby.

And if you don't know, now you know, reader.

Stevenson was a candidate, yes, but Eisenhower actually won. :)
