San Francisco changed a street name today; from Bush to Obama (photo).

[Duncan Grant]

Normally this street sign would say "END BUSH," but the signs on Bush Street have been changed to "OBAMA" on Tuesday, Jan. 20, 2009, in San Francisco. (Kurt Rogers / The Chronicle) :party: :thumbsup: :party:

There's a great photo essay of the inaugural here in the Bay Area at sfgate.com: The Inauguration Around the Bay.

In 1988 somebody put a Dukakis sticker over the Bush Street sign.

4. I think it's great that they'd honor both Obama and Menachim Begin!

It's an unexpected combo, but still a nice gesture.
