An Idea I Can Get Behind

My respect for the city of Portland, Oregon has grown immensely today (not that it had any room to diminish, having never been there):
On May 11, 2001 a very talented writer and activist was taken from this world far before his time. Not yet 50 years of age, Douglas Adams passed on and left a legacy for all that would come after him.
It it with honor and humor that Geek in the City and the Rename42nd.org Group ask the citizens of Portland to accept the changing of 42nd Avenue into Douglas Adams Boulevard.
I’d gladly support the same initiative in Vancouver. Then I wouldn’t have to go so far to enjoy it (and from what I’ve seen of 42nd Ave. in Vancouver it could do with a good renaming).
He felt that his whole life was some kind of dream and he sometimes wondered whose it was and whether they were enjoying it.
