The town I grew up in has lots of things named after the that guy of yesteryear, I think, but I can't think of any from when I was growing up there.

But San Francisco used to be almost entirely made up of that guys.

We have the world famous Bushman (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Famous_Bushman) who dresses up like a bush and jumps out at tourists.

We had the Brown Twins (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marian_and_Vivian_Brown) who were just fabulous older women you'd see out and about.

We have 12 Galaxies sign man (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Chu)

The Castro naked men which became the Castro men who wear cock socks sometimes.

And all sorts of others that aren't popping in mind right this moment.
