Goodbye, Dave Thomas Circle: The area that was once home to DC's most chaotic intersection will now be known as "Mamie 'Peanut' Johnson Plaza." The moniker won a public vote to name the trio of green spaces coming to the intersection of New York Avenue, Florida Avenue, and First Street NE. According to the NoMa
D.C. residents have voted on a new name for the intersection of Florida Avenue and New York Avenue NE in NoMa which is undergoing major renovations to house new public spaces.
