Cities do and should celebrate their icons and significant people. After all, in Buffalo McKinley Parkway isn't a random name. It's named after President McKinley.

Again, this isn't an official or permanent thing. It's just fun. Stop by Hertel and Wellington this week and give a "Let's Go Buffalo" honk on your horn.
