Perhaps, it would be best for the borough to cut its losses and let the bones go. Of course, then it would need a new name. Maybe there is a long-ago sports great looking to return to a little bit of spotlight by agreeing to let his body be buried there. How does Mark Spitz, Pa. sound? Bruce Jenner, Pa.? Randall Cunningham, Pa.? Greg Gross , Pa.? They could open it for bids. The possibilities are endless. Feel free to make a suggestion.

Why change it? Did Truth or Consequences, NM change their name just because the game show got canceled?

I don’t know, but if O.J. wins the bid then I’m moving out of Pennsylvania A.S.A.P.

How about Sean Connery?

My sister lived in Jim Thorpe, formerly Mauch Chunk, many moons ago. I remember being there right after the movie The Molly Maguires was filmed. The main streets were still covered in dirt from the filming. Sean Connery was the protagonist in the movie (good movie btw).

I thought Jim Thorpe was from Yale, Oklahoma?

There is a plaque in downtown Yale claiming this hero of the town.
