We are pleased that Anchorage's Channel 2 News covered this important issue on its evening news shows on July 16, 2001. Bret Clark, former Chairman of BOSCO'S Committee for Pop Culture was interviewed. He made a clear case for making the name change. All we have to do now is get 51% of the people living on Lois Drive to agree to this sensible change! To see a clip from the news program, click here!		Superman & Lois Lane! They have been part of American culture for sixty years! The feisty Lois Lane has been a role model for millions of strong and independent women! Anchorage has an opportunity to pay tribute to this heroine by simply changing a poorly named street in Spenard from "Lois Dr." to "Lois Lane" This Spenard roadway was clearly named by an uncultured person. As the comic reading elite, it falls on us to right his wrong. To learn more about our campaign to rename Lois Drive, click here!
