"The solution is obvious. Rename the Boulevard for Willie Mays and get their collective a$$es in gear and build a memorial (or three) to their veterans. This is not an either/or proposition. They owe the vets a better memorial and they should certainly honor a baseball icon like Willie. How dull are these folks? Times a' wasting."

I live in Hagerstown and I have a better idea. You get your city to name one of it's streets after a guy that played ONE game of baseball in it's stadium. We've got bigger problems than Willie Mays in this town. Also, there is more than one memorial here, that particular street was so named after World War I, and most of us would like to keep it that way. regardless of the spin the liberal Baltimore Slum puts on it.

How about renaming Hagerstown, Maryland to Willietown, Maysland... ;) :)

You got that right. Recently, I moved from California. The town I lived in, a little larger than Hagerstown, was really charming, with a few less nice areas, but not any bad areas. Although Hagerstown has nice areas, parts of it look like the inner city--a town that size shouldn't have areas like that. I thought the difference was in the mayors--my former hometown has a Republican, and Hagerstown has a Democrat.

No, I don't live in Hagerstown, but it seems to be the only place to go shopping in the area.
