Wrong Way

Berkeley County, W.Va., has too many streets with similar names, which can cause delays during emergencies, so it is renaming 450 streets.

Margie Moulton says her teenage daughters laugh at the name. “Big F? They’re old enough to know what that is,” she says. (AP) ...Big Fuss, Big Fight, Big Financial Settlement.
