I remember visiting Tbilisi in the early 2010s as a volunteer English teacher and being greeted with this stupid sign as we left the airport.

What other out of place, inappropriate, boot-licking or jusr plain dumb American or other Anglo landmarks come to mind for you?

[especially when they replace the much cooler names given by the indigenous/native peoples of the area]

    A good one is Bobby Sands street in Tehran, renamed after the IRA activist who got starved to death in prison. The best part - it’s the street that the British Embassy is on.
