editor Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/blogs/hottopics/detail?entry_id=82798Fort Wayne's new government center, in the heart of downtown, needs a new name. So an online poll was set up at the city's website, FeedbackFortWayne.org, where people could vote on some possibilities.There's "Chief Little Turtle Center," named after a Native-American chief. There's "Heritage Square." There's "Citizens Plaza."But the namesake with the most votes is former Fort Wayne mayor Harry Baals.Vote here: http://FeedbackFortWayne.org Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

livincinco Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 I proud to say that I have registered my support for Harry Baals. I wonder if they're selling t-shirts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Double L Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 (edited) Well if you're the mayor of Fort Wayne, you might as well be Harry Baals Edited February 11, 2011 by Double L Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
editor Posted February 11, 2011 Author Share Posted February 11, 2011 Well if you're the mayor of Fort Wayne, you might as well be Harry BaalsWhen I lived in Charleston the mayor was Kent Strange Hall. His name was never written in official documents without the middle name. It was even on the glass door to his office. Really nice guy. I've been told that "Strange" was a fairly common name in the mid-Atlantic region among people descended from English settlers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
