Talk:Lake Shore Drive

message: It is usually stated that the song line "Headin' into town on LSD" from a popular Jan and Dean song is in fact about Lake Shore Drive, as at the time of the song's release the hallecinogenic drug "LSD-25" was almost unknown except by medical researchers.  --Rlquall 16:35, 10 Aug 2004 (UTC)

message: Just for consistency, I'd like to place a U.S. 41 shield (80 px) on this page somewhere, preferably at the top, but I can't put it too many places because it breaks the page layout horribly. Any ideas? --Rob 10:57, 24 July 2005 (UTC)

message: Has there been any talk of extending LSD south of 67th street?  It could be extended south to Indianapolis BLVD at the southern end of Chicago's lakefront.  The current US41 layout is poor through the area south of 67th street.
*Yes and no. It's technically part of South Shore Drive, and this website covers the project from about 71st through Harbor, about 2 miles. This is the slowest portion of U.S. 41 in Chicago; the areas outside of this zone are generally faster and have four lanes. —Rob (talk) 15:41, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

message: Should the intersection of Lake Shore Drive and Jackson Drive be marked in the intersection list as "Former US Route 66"? This intersection was for many years until 1976, the eastern terminus of Route 66. It would also be an opportunity to eliminate a red link to Jackson Drive, by replacing it with a link to US Route 66. U52983 (talk) 05:04, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

message: As a native Chicagoan, my "feel" is that Outer Drive is a proper name and should be capitalized.  The EB capitalizes it (http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/110319/Chicago/257583/Chicago-since-c-1900) as does, e.g., http://www.photography-plus.com/image_pages/Chicago3.htm.211.225.34.156 (talk) 03:37, 6 February 2011 (UTC)

replies: text: Lake Shore Drive → ? – There's recently a lot of back and forth on whether this article should be titled Jean Baptiste Point du Sable Lake Shore Drive (or related) or not. Since the City Council of Chicago voted to rename Outer Lake Shore Drive in honor of du Sable, the article title should follow suit just like Ida B. Wells Drive in 2018. 1 AlphaBeta135 (talk) 01:29, 29 June 2021 (UTC)

I'm not going to stand by and let people who don't live in Chicago change the name of this article about the history of Lake Shore Drive. Do you realize that this page is about the history of Lake Shore Drive?! It's been called Lake Shore Drive for over 75 years. It'll continue be called Lake Shore Drive by everyone who cares about the road. An uneducated individual like Rylandauburn says Lake Shore Drive doesn't exist anymore. It's obvious he or she doesn't even live in Chicago. I'm tired of non-educated people like you saying Lake Shore Drive doesn't exist.

text: *I live in Chicago. Do any of you who are making these changes live here? I know how the road is named and what it's called. Don't change the name of the road on here when you're not even in Chicago. It's called Lake Shore Drive, it'll continue being called Lake Shore Drive, nobody is going to call it this bla bla bla du Sable Lake Shore Drive. Changing the name of a short road like Congress Blvd to Ida B. Wells Drive is a lot different than changing a longer, more important road like Lake Shore Drive. I live in Chicago, I know that nobody is going to be calling it this ridiculous name, so stop making changes. It's obvious that these people don't live here since this article was dated June 29 and it's still June 28 here in Chicago. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mbm435 (talk • contribs) 3:03, 29 June 2021 (UTC)

text: *Please take a moment to lookup what (UTC) means at the end of the date stamp before making assumptions about where people live. But regardless, Wikipedia contributors come from all over the world, and it is not a prerequisite that only people who live in the city where a particular topic is focused may contribute to articles about it. The fact remains, it is now officially called "Jean Baptiste Point Du Sable Lake Shore Drive." And I therefore agree the page should be moved as requested. 2600:8807:4047:500:AC32:64B8:862A:753E (talk) 01:19, 30 June 2021 (UTC)

replies: text: Lake Shore Drive →  – 
A little over a year ago, I initiated a move request to rename Lake Shore Drive to DuSable Lake Shore Drive, which was motivated by an unusually high number of edits in that time period. The request was denied, but within months, a lot of organizations and agencies have adopted the "DuSable Lake Shore Drive" name to refer to the mainline portion (1, 2, 3, etc.). In fact, the city installed numerous signs that included the "DuSable" name (see image).
However, the name change didn't apply to frontage roads as well as the South Works portion. All of these changes essentially blurred the line between whether Lake Shore Drive is still a more common name than DuSable Lake Shore Drive. This may be the time to rediscuss whether it is still appropriate to rename the article to DuSable Lake Shore Drive. AlphaBeta135(talk) 21:38, 28 October 2022 (UTC)
