If I can make it there,

I'll make it anywhere.

It's up to you,

My family’s ancestors also came to that area at the invitation of Catherine the Great. I have seen a map of the Mennonite, Jewish and Catholic towns that were established there.

So they decided to change the name from the Soviet-sounding “Novgorodske” to the much more Soviet-sounding “New York.”

They need a MLK Blvd to complete the picture. Good luck with that.

Ridiculous

Many Americans want to distance themselves from NY.

Surely, they could have picked any of a million other names.

Why not “New Amsterdam”?

Good for them. It’s not exactly a unique name. According to my quick internet search they’ll be #16.

Forget the “big” apple...
Head for the “little” apple...
Less crime...
Fewer perverts...
Lower taxes...

Just as an aside I hope Ukraine destroys those kneeling English today.

For the right sum of money I’d imagine you could get Ukraine to name a town anything you wanted.

I like it.
