So How 'Bout That Airport, There?
The Burbank Airport has a new name: Effective next Wednesday -- the 100th anniversary of the Wright Brothers' first flight -- it will be known as the Bob Hope Airport, named after the recently deceased unfunnyman.
Sez the L.A. Times: The renaming plan won the approval of the Burbank-Glendale-Pasadena Airport Authority and the governing councils of the three cities.
Michael Hastings, a spokesman for the Hope family, said Hope's relatives were humbled by the gesture. They reacted to the news with "a dead silence out of just pure humility and pride," he said.
Dead silence? Hell, that was Hope's reaction too! (Rim shot, please.)
