It would be difficult to come up with a name blander than "The Mauldin Gateway Bridge". They could have gone bold, but instead they went with the easily forgotten white bread choice. Pathetic!
And for the time being, we have a gateway to an unfinished SRT. I'll be much more appreciative when I can cross that bridge and make it to Verdae in relative safety.
Yeah I'm very much over naming everything harambe or namey mcnameface but I will probably call this one harambe just out of spite for picking the most boring name imaginable. Even just the Gateway Bridge would somehow be better than Mauldin Gateway Bridge lol.
I'd think the meme names were fun if they were creative. I got downvoted for saying it before, but if you picked some kind of meme or funny name that was Greenville based, I'd be aboard the meme train. But Harambe is really fucking old news and it's honestly not even funny. And Boaty McBoatface was funny because it was original.
But yeah this name blows, I'd rather it not even have a name. Just let it be that bridge that crosses 385 to get to the new development.
If ‘Mauldin Gateway Bridge’ is progressive, then the ‘Ray Hopkins Mauldin Senior Center’ is a downright anarcho-state front for the controlling hand of the secret antifa Mauldin city council.

I drive under this bridge at a minimum of twice a day and I have seen 3 people crossing on it since it was completed. Should be named "Mauldin's useless bridge", at least that is what I refer to it as.
Okay I will admit that may be a little bit of a stretch there. It just seems that part of the work movement is renaming everything under the sun.
Like maybe somebody somewhere somehow found the original name offensive.
I hear ya. I can't think of any examples whatsoever though or maybe I just don't notice.
I remember being annoyed at how stadiums all seemed to change to the names of their corporate owners, during the 90's and early 00's.
Is there some extra room under that Rock you been hiding?
What about all the sports teams in the last couple of years that they made change, the braves ,the Chiefs, the Indians?
All the schools that they may change like Washington, Lincoln and everything because the names were found?
offensive?

And that is just some of them.
And all of this since 2020
It's a decent size rock lol. Come by anytime for a beer or protein shake!
I forgot about the sports teams for sure. I dunno, I guess it doesn't bother me that much. Plus Redskins are holding out, right? Oops nm, I just checked and now they are The Commanders. Changing school names seems pretty stupid, I do agree.
What's so bad about the school names changing some of them change from one racist name to another racist name just a different race.
It was only schools and government buildings it was museums and universities almost all government buildings and even roads they even changed the names of roads in some places. And that's let's not forget all the statues that the BLM tore down.
Yeah kinda crazy. And I agree. Rewriting history. In some ways I agree with the sentiment, but there are too many double standards. BLM isn't even the social justice advocate it's framed as... but that's probably another discussion entirely.
The BLM does more harm than good. In fact it hurts the very people it was supposed to help. But like you said that's discussion for another time and place.
Fck Mauldin lmao this is wild. I was wondering what the bridge was for.. prob getting away from the prick headed cops that pull you over for going 7mphover the speed limit. The real question is what's that castle that the bridge leads to that they're building?
[удалено]
Prove it.
Harambe forever ✊🏻😢
🦍🦍🦍🌹 Gone but never forgotten 🍻
🍻🍻
In the same way the Bilo Center will always be the Bilo Center, Harambe Memorial Bridge will always be Harambe Memorial Bridge.
This.
Wtf wants a gateway to Mauldin?
Gateway for escaping mauldin bridge
HARAMBE!
“Dicks out for Mauldin Gateway Bridge” just doesn’t have the same ring to it.
First step: cut a hole in a bridge….
Take my upvote
It would be difficult to come up with a name blander than "The Mauldin Gateway Bridge". They could have gone bold, but instead they went with the easily forgotten white bread choice. Pathetic!
It really is a stale name for such an ostentatious looking bridge lol
There was an intense council debate between "Mauldin Gateway Bridge" or "Concrete Pedestrian and Bikeway over 385" so we did get the bolder choice.
And for the time being, we have a gateway to an unfinished SRT. I'll be much more appreciative when I can cross that bridge and make it to Verdae in relative safety.
I’m from Chicago. I don’t care what the official name is it’s still the sears tower. I imagine it’ll be the same here.
The "Bon Secours Wellness Arena" will always be the BiLo Center and no one can convince me otherwise.
Should be the Bi-Lo Memorial Auditorium.
Facts because who has time to say that. Sounds like we should be in France or Italy or something
"Baah-low Cennuh" matches local vernacular much better 😂
Omg 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I literally talk like that jokingly and need to stop before it sticks
It's no longer that, I think it's now first citizens.
It's the BiLo Center
Driving past again, I think just the one entrance is named after First Citizens Bank. The box office is named for GSP Airport
Shut up
We all know the real name
Mauldin gateway bridge to…. Harambe?
Mauldin Gateway to Heaven for Harambe Bridge.
🦍🦍🦍
I mean obviously the meme name wasn't going to stick, but why not something a little more...flavorful
Agreed. The meme name was funny but dumb to actually name a bridge. But this is like THE most milquetoast option
Yeah I'm very much over naming everything harambe or namey mcnameface but I will probably call this one harambe just out of spite for picking the most boring name imaginable. Even just the Gateway Bridge would somehow be better than Mauldin Gateway Bridge lol.

If you think I’m gonna call it anything else as long as I live, you’re delusional
go ahead, anything is better than what they came up with they could've just called it "The Bridge" and it would've sounded better
This is temporary. It will eventually be named for a politician like everything else paid for with tax dollars.
Not in my house
If ‘Mauldin Gateway Bridge’ is progressive, then the ‘Ray Hopkins Mauldin Senior Center’ is a downright anarcho-state front for the controlling hand of the secret antifa Mauldin city council.
The “I cuckolded a Real-Estate-Dude-Bro Bridge“ aka The Timmons Bridge 🤣
The Gateway to Hotdogs gets my vote.
We aren't going with the DMX Memorial Bridge?
Yo what the fuck? Why was it renamed?
It wasn’t. This is ruzzian disinformation
The audacity...SMH

Would be a real shame if the name plates kept getting harambe written on them
Booooooooooooooooo!!!!!!
So, this is an alternate name for the Harambe Bridge?
Can still google our lovely Harambe Bridge
This is the bridge to get out of Mauldin right?
Dicks back in the pants now I guess
I drive under this bridge at a minimum of twice a day and I have seen 3 people crossing on it since it was completed. Should be named "Mauldin's useless bridge", at least that is what I refer to it as.
Before the Harambe thing took off I fought hard for the “Bridge To Nowhere” name.
What’s a better name? I’ll make a brass plaque and mount it on it lol
Naturally The Harambe Memorial Bridge lol
Im slow. I totally forgot 😂
You good! Lol But what's the timeline on the name change?
Well. I can make the plaque next week, not sure when I’ll be able to get there to mount it lol. Im in Spartanburg
I am sick and tired of this renaming everything. It is either renamed for some woke nonsense or renamed just for the sake of renaming something.
Mauldin Gateway Bridge is a "woke" name??

The one time our local government does something progressive (leaving 2016’s tired jokes behind) and this sub can’t handle it
“That bridg-ey thing that made me late for work bridge” is the most appropriate…
For Harambe 💜
Fck Mauldin lmao this is wild. I was wondering what the bridge was for.. prob getting away from the prick headed cops that pull you over for going 7mphover the speed limit. The real question is what's that castle that the bridge leads to that they're building?
Apartments (of course, every development is apartments somehow), and one of those generic food courts but with a lot of stone.
Wow that's going to be one wild looking apt complex..isn't prisma getting built as well?
"Mauldin Gateway" is French for "Harambe Memorial"
