It’s a good thing. Because if they did rename it to Nubian Square, a lot of people would give a slightly different name. And that would be very un-PC.

Boston was named for St. Botolph; the British city name of Boston is a contraction of St. Botolph’s town. (Or, St. Botolph’s stone, alternatively.)

ROME “burns” and this issue gets a vote.

Every parent should be girding their children to endeavor to become wealthy enough that, no matter how far this country goes down the toilet, they will be able to sustain themselves.

Probably would’ve passed if it had been Popeye’s Square.
