Yes habits calling something something are hard to break when they get renamed.
“Yes habits calling something something are hard to break when they get renamed.”
I was watching a YouTube video of Vietnam and had to laugh when I realized that the people in the south still call their former capital Saigon instead of Ho Chi Minh city. Even some of the road signs still have Saigon with slightly larger Ho Chi Minh signs above them.
On a more local note Liberty Baptist College in Lynchburg, Va was built at the foot of Candlers mountain In 1971. When the name was changed to Liberty University in 1977 Jerry Falwell started calling it Liberty mountain. Ask the students at LU and they will call it Liberty mountain, locals still call it Candlers mountain.
I’m sure every city/locale has a similar story.
