Back in the day, BWI was called "Friendship." The only people who are seriously calling it "Thurgood Marshall" are some Baltimore city politicians who lobbied for the name change. |
+100 Democrat National BWI Lived here 21 yrs. |
| Very liberal democrat, lived here since 2007 and call them Reagan and BWI since that's how I learned them. |
It's never too late to change.
|
| 14:38, did you move here from the West Coast? We'll go along with "Reagan" if you give up saying "the" in front of numbers of Interstates. |
I don't mind that they say it. What bugs me are tv shows and movies that are supposedly based on the East Coast where they say "the" 95. |
BWI and National b/c I have always hated Reagan |
|
National.
BWI. Seven years. |

National
BWI Democrat Lifer No self respecting local calls it Reagan, geez. And yes it is petty, but I don't care. I might have gone with Reagan if they'd at least waited until he was dead, but the whole manner in which it went down was annoying. |

I call them Reagan and BWI.
Republican leaning and love Reagan the man, which is one of the reasons I call the airport "Reagan". |
|
Reagan or DCA; BWI. I didn't even realize that BWI had a different name...
been here 10 yrs, unaffiliated but I do think Reagan was a looker in his youth. |
| I grew up in the area and my dad is a DC native. My dad is a ranting Limbaugh/teaparty/birther type. But when they changed the name from "Washington National" to "Reagan," he was against it saying, "that airport was already named for a perfectly good president." |
And the airport somehow symbolizes this, what with that sliver of Washington-ness tucked in a hidden recess of Reagan? http://www.hmdb.org/PhotoFullSize.asp?PhotoID=25713 |
