Places & Objects Named After John Wayne
Everyone has heard of the John Wayne can opener - the military issue P38 opener that came with all those wonderful C-Rations (as well as the "John Wayne" crackers - only Duke was tough enough to eat them, and the "John Wayne" toilet paper that was rough, tough and didn't take... off anyone), but did you know there is a John Wayne Drive in Winterset, Iowa (of course), and also in Kingman, Arizona; Central Point, Oregon; Ceres, California; Greencastle, Pennsylvania; Charlestown, Indiana; Fredericksburg, Virginia; Fayetteville, Arkansas; Lafayette, Louisiana; and Yuba City, California. You can find John Wayne Parkway in Maricopa County, Arizona. It is a 28 mile long section of State Route 347. There is a John Wayne Boulevard in the Arizona cities of Flagstaff and Maricopa; and you can find John Wayne Street in Las Vegas, Nevada; and John Wayne Road in Kaufman, Texas and Perry, Oklahoma.
