12. I wish we could...

I think that it would cause as much of an uproar as when the former mayor renamed it from Intercontinental Airport to George H. W. Bush Intercontinental Airport. Unfortunately, I live closer to it than most Houstonians but I'm outside the city boundaries (until they annex us) and consequently have no say in how city property is named. I still get a chuckle out of how the FAA responded to the name change... they told the city that changing the 3-letter designation was not going to happen. The city paid to have the airport's sign changed, but the FAA told Houston to stick it when they wanted to change IAH to something else! :D
