What's in a name? You may want to ask that question in Fort Wayne, Indiana!
The city is looking for a name for their government center facility. One idea is to name it after a former mayor. Sounds OK, right?
Harry Baals was Mayor of Fort Wayne for four terms in the '30's, '40's & '50's. How about him?
An on-line votr has chosen Harry Baals for the name of the facility by a 3 to 1 margin over the second choice. Current Mayor says, "No way!"
You see, Baals is pronounced "Balls." There is fear that Fort Wayne, Indiana might be the target of late night television jokes...
Too late!
