Coolidge Corner is a section of Brookline where JFK was born. The previous name of the school was Devotion.

I figured something like that when I checked a map. Note there is a Packard Corner also.

Since they are renaming things slave owners and slave traders had named after them, isn’t it about time for the Left to ban the Beatles’ song Penny Lane?

http://www.bbc.co.uk/liverpool/content/articles/2007/02/15/abolition_penny_lane_feature.shtml

“The street made famous in song by The Beatles is named after a Liverpool slave ship owner and anti-abolitionist.”

...In July 2006 a Liverpool councillor Barbara Mace proposed that streets named after slave traders should be renamed.

The plan was criticised by those who argued the negative parts of history should not be “airbrushed” and was later withdrawn.
