renaming

Up there on the cold Canadian border they've decided the bridge name DRIC is rather drack.  So they're on a  quest for a catchier name for the $5+ billion new toll bridge they want to build Detroit to Windsor.

Detroit News reporter Jeff Wattrick suggests the DRIC be renamed the Gordie Howe Bridge.

The much fought-over State Highway 121 tollroad is being formally renamed in a ceremony next week the Sam Rayburn Tollway. That will be the second major toll authority facility in  the United States named after a famous speaker of the US House of Representatives, the first having been Thomas 'Tip' O'Neill (1912-1994).
