You Won't Believe Why They Should Rename Hagerstown's Wilson Blvd

Woodrow Wilson, Democrat Party Hero

HAGERSTOWN, MD - On the southern part of Hagerstown, connecting Alternate 40 and Route 11, is a well traveled road named Wilson Blvd, a road which desperately needs renamed.

For those not aware, Wilson Blvd. is actually named in honor of President Woodrow Wilson, with a monument at the eastern end of the road dedicated in his memory.

Most Hagerstown residents think of Food Lion (oops sorry, Shop and Save), Pro Pools, Life House Church, Minnich Funeral Home, and the Ag Center.

However, nestled in its Presidential roots is a much darker secret few think about.

Woodrow Wilson, a Democrat, was most likely the most racist president of the 20th Century, and was personally responsible for racial segregation, and the removal of racial integration into the civil service, and ultimately leaving behind a terrible legacy which has taken decades for the Democrat party to get people to forget about.

Now, we at the Hagerstown Report do not know the full story behind how Wilson Blvd. received its name. However, we do know that there is great irony in the fact that one of Hagerstown's divided roads is named after a president who supported racial segregation and division.

While statues and memorials nationwide are being taken down and schools being renamed from Confederate leaders, because they're considered racist, isn't it time that Hagerstown follows suit, and renames Wilson Blvd? In our opinion, this is a much more important topic than, for example, building a new walking trail, or adding red light cameras. Or does Wilson get a pass?

But what would we rename Wilson Blvd to?  The Hagerstown Report would love to hear from our readers their name suggestions!

Typically The Hagerstown Report is satire, but sadly this story is actually completely factual. Some sarcasm has been added for effect.
