Is anyone watching from a presidentially named place?

I’m surprised you didn’t bring up Liberia’s capital, Monrovia, named after James Monroe

I wonder if the volcano erupted on two non-consecutive occasions.

You could've mention Monrovia, Liberia, the only national capital besides Washington DC to be named after a US president (James Monroe in this case)

I know there’s a welcome center in Delaware named the Biden Welcome Center. This was probably a legacy left from his Vice Presidency.

Although there are very few places in the US named after William Howard Taft, there are actually a few very well known places here in the Philippines named after him like Taft Avenue (a main avenue in Metro Manila with a renowned train station, Taft Avenue station) and a town in the southern Philippines. This is because he once served as a Governor-General of the Philippines during the Commonwealth Era (after the Spanish occupation).

There are quite a few places named after presidents where I grew up. There is a middle school named after JFK. One street was renamed to "President Barack Obama". A nearby highway is called the Ronald Reagan Highway. Not to mention, there's a Trump golf course.

They tried to name a state “Lincoln” so many times it is appalling and to some extent funny.

Fun fact: Utah really really wanted to be a state, so they named the county and town, which was briefly the territorial capital, after the president at the time, Millard Fillmore, hoping it would help them become a state. It didn't.

0:10 Love the fact you included the Hall of Presidents at Disney World. It was Walt’s dream to have an attraction that had an animatronic of every president. He didn’t get to see it open but I’m sure he would’ve been proud
But he probably wouldn’t like the fact people go to the show to take a nap in the A/C

I deserve a state named after me. But I thank Rockstar games for making that possibility.

Disappointed that you didn't mention Madison, Wisconsin. Literally the state capital.

The old coastal road on the southern Golden Horn in Istanbul is named, curiously, after JFK.

There already IS a place named after Joe Biden, even though he's 2 months away from the Oval Office.
Back in 2011, Wilmington, Delaware (Biden's hometown) renamed their train station in honor of him, since he would commute to and from Washington from the station every day as a congressman
