Anyone ever noticed that many streets in Shenandoah are named for Civil War battles? Chickamauga Avenue, Bull Run Drive, Kennesaw Drive, ect. There's also a General Forrest Ave... the whole thing seems confederate themed, I guess makes sense for a neighborhood developed in suburbs during desegeration.

A Puritan impulse to remove any vestige of someone or something that does not conform to their interpretation of the modern world.

Maybe. Fighting Tigers is definitely racist though. We'll be the Kingfish in 30 years.
