Lee Circle NOT being named after Leah Chase

commission charged with renaming New Orleans streets and landmarks that now pay homage to Confederates backed off dedicating Lee Circle to Leah Chase on Wednesday night, instead recommending that the late chef be memorialized on the road that runs by her Orleans Avenue restaurant.
As for Lee Circle, now a tribute to Gen. Robert E. Lee and one of the most prominent spots in town, the City Council Street Renaming Commission dodged the issue of recommending a specific person. It suggested the council name the site Harmony Circle, with the possibility of honoring multiple people there.
Harmony Circle. What a cop out.
Not linking to that shitty nola.com site but you can look there if you want.

The board still needs to approve it.

Are Titus and Vespasian on the chopping block? They killed over 1 million Jews.

They should name it Hominy Circle and put a big pot of grits on a pedestal.

TBH naming a street after a person - and particularly, re-naming it from one person to another - will always carry controversy, regardless of who that person is.

Tivoli Circle or GFY

People and businesses are losing everything there. Who gives a damn about a dumbass street name.

Instant grits?

They should name it Cantrell Circle in honor of the woman who destroyed the city. People can throw flaming bags of shite at it.

Just name in Jazz Circle or some other dumb shite for tourists.

Good, not enough people know of Leah Chase to put her in such a spot in NOLA

You’d have to try pretty hard to get upset about this.

No self respecting southerner would put instant grits up there.

Put a statue of Bruce Lee doing a side kick up there and end this madness.
