A Tale of Two Baker Streets: The history of Hong Kong’s colonial street names

By Justin Cheuk Mar 9, 2016 | 4:59pm Hong Kong time

Hong Kong’s street names are one of more visible legacies from the colonial era. Whether they are derived from public figures or geographical landmarks, the kaleidoscopic collection has offered us a unique insight into the east-meets-west blending of cultures in the city.

Much of the names have remained unchanged in the post-handover world, allowing us to preserve the city’s heritage in its entirely. This is true even for the most undesirable namesakes. Take Elgin Street (伊利近街) in Central for example: it honours James Bruce, the eighth Earl of Elgin, who is responsible for the order to loot and destroy the Summer Palace in Beijing.

Which practice did andrew jackson and john quincy adams employ during their presidential campaigns that have remained a main par
Nesterboy [21]

''The practice which Andrew Jackson and John Quincy Adams employ during their presidential campaigns that have remained a main part of modern politics was campaign posters and buttons explanation''.

With a dignified candidate image, a memorable slogan, eye-catching graphics, and the promotion of the American dream, campaign posters have chronicled American politics over the years.

Democratic candidate Andrew Jackson faced off against incumbent John Quincy Adams of the National Republican party, who many historians believe to be the forerunner of contemporary American politics due to his brutality.

"Some Account of some of the Bloody Deeds of GENERAL JACKSON," one of the first posters in the exhibition, depicts Jackson as a common murderer.
