Stevie Ray Vaughan Petition Is Now Online

At Dallas City Hall today, a debacle ensued when Council Members began arguing over the renaming of Industrial Boulevard.

It seems most everyone is of accord that the road should be renamed something that is not quite so industrial but what to name it?

Certain sources at Dallas City Hall said that a recent poll reflected Cesar Chavez as the most popular choice yet a similar poll on Dallas ABC affiliate WFAA is showing that 85% of their voters do NOT want Chavez's name utilized.


It's important to keep in mind that this isn't an issue against Cesar Chavez, it just seems that the citizens of Dallas would rather have a name that reflects one of our own or something representative of nature.

After today's tiff at City Hall (you can see the video here), the issue has been shelved for consideration until August 5 at the earliest, and that means that we have a chance in letting the Dallas City Council know that we would prefer to have Industrial renamed after one of our own -- the legendary Stevie Ray Vaughan.

We ask that you sign the petition at this link: http://www.petitiononline.com/srv/petition.html
