Old Dixie Changed To President Barack Obama Highway In Riviera Beach

RIVIERA BEACH (CBS12) -- It's official. Old Dixie Highway is now officially President Barack Obama Highway within the city limits of Riviera Beach.

For the residents of Riviera Beach, it has been a long time coming.

Mary Brabham has been a resident of Riviera Beach for years. She says the change is welcome.

"It's time to let the past be the past. We are moving forward and do things not for one, but for all."

According to Riviera Beach Mayor Thomas Masters, Old Dixie Highway served as a reminder that this city was once heavily segregated.

    That's just how we tell where the bad areas in town are, Any "Martin Lurher King" or "Rosa Parks" street is to be avoided, Same thing with "Obama" named roads...set the GPS te avoid those places.

    Just for some irony, it should be a toll road.
