I remember visiting Tbilisi in the early 2010s as a volunteer English teacher and being greeted with this stupid sign as we left the airport.

What other out of place, inappropriate, boot-licking or jusr plain dumb American or other Anglo landmarks come to mind for you?

[especially when they replace the much cooler names given by the indigenous/native peoples of the area]

    Denmark is currently having a culture war moment with a Square within the city, which by popular demand was to be named "Palestine Square". Obviously the useless city government was against it for a while, with members of the county council going out and arguing that names for places in the city shouldn't be used to make political statements.
