I don't see the street renaming happening much. Takes more time, and we all know that with time the American public will return its focus to the antics of Hollywood.
In North Carolina we have many sections of highways such as I40, I95, and I85 which are named after dead Confederate generals. It would be pretty easy to remove the names and signs (e.g. General Lee Memorial Highway) from these roads.
Gotcha. The South, of course, will never get over losing. But not all those who live in the South are slack-jawed mouth-breathers. There are those like Haley who not only understand how societies are organized but also understand how capitalism works.

After all, except for Nashville, Atlanta and Disney World, what exactly does the South have going for it?

But it’s not, it’s the conversation.” “That is called the right not to be offended,” said Napolitano. “There is no such right.”
