A Massachusetts lawmaker is proposing naming Logan International Airport after Senator Edward M. Kennedy, in what is likely to be one of a series of proposals to memorialize the senator's nearly half-century of legislative accomplishments.
Representative Lori Ehrlich, a Marblehead Democrat, filed legislation today that would name the airport Logan-Kennedy International Airport.
“An outpouring of local appreciation was accompanied by tributes from several luminaries from around the nation and the world,” Ehrlich wrote in a letter to lawmakers, asking them to sign onto her legislation. “We now have an opportunity to memorialize Senator Kennedy and keep his legacy alive.”
"It's an interesting idea that has merit," said Matthew Brelis, a spokesman for Massport, which operates the airport.

Re: Logan-Kennedy International?
Everyone would still call itd Logan. There's already a 'Kennedy' (JFK) airport in NY.
Sort of like here in DC....not a single person here calls the airport it 'Reagan' or whatever the hell the name is. We all call it 'National'. Only tourists and assholes that just strive to be different call it 'Reagan'.

Imagine a flight that starts in Boston, through NYC, Washington, to Houston...
Kennedy to Kennedy to Reagan to Bush...

Re: Logan-Kennedy International?
It makes sense, if you think about it. The runways at Logan are so short that there's always a risk of a plane skidding into the water!

Nice post, Tman!
"Sarah Palin absolutely blew AWAY the audience tonight. If there was any doubt as to whether she was savvy enough, tough enough or smart enough to carry the mantle of Vice President, she put those fears to rest tonight. She took on Barack Obama DIRECTLY on every issue and exposed... She did it with warmth and humor, and came across as the every-person....it's becoming mroe and more clear that she was a genius pick for McCain."

I love how the airport in Houston is named Bush - and across the street from the Bush airport is Haliburton world headquarters...

To bad the tunnel to Logan is already named after Ted Williams....otherwise, we could have the MJK Memorial Bridge to Kennedy Airport...Chizzang wrote:I love how the airport in Houston is named Bush - and across the street from the Bush airport is Haliburton world headquarters...
