South Dakota Town Asked to Rename Hooker Street
Tuesday, November 27, 2007

WHITEWOOD, S.D. — If the Rev. David Baer has his way, the Whitewood City Council will change the name of one of the northern Black Hills town's streets.

Hooker Street doesn't quite lend itself to a family atmosphere and is offensive to some residents in the town of about 800 people, according to Baer.

It's actually named after a Union general from the Civil War, but Baer said that even renaming it to General Hooker Street might not be much better.

Any renaming would affect one resident and six water bill accounts, said Brenda Lindstrom, Whitewood city finance officer.

The council is expected to discuss the request its Dec. 17 meeting.

What's funny about that is the term "hooker" is rarely used anymore to describe a "lady of the evening"

I think the Rev Baer (any relation to Max?) may be projecting, and the town needs to be careful about him, not about a street's name.

I suspect this is probably dangerously close to the truth. Considering the record of tele-preachers who have had sex scandals, you have to wonder.
