Anybody's King (Scrummy)Apr 20

This article in the #Inquirer has inspired me. What's something that's been renamed that you still call the old name? The hill I will die on is the Tappan Zee bridge over the Hudson River in New York. No way I'm ever calling it the "Cuomo Bridge". Even the signs in NJ and CT still call the new bridge the Tappan Zee.

We still tap MAC and go to concerts at Spaghetti Warehouse. Philly doesn’t accept new names.

Our defiance builds community. Don’t like it? Go pound sand up Delaware Avenue.

These names are from a custom list on Ancestry (old musicians who lived and died in NY 1890s-1945) so no screenshots but I keep coming across some more excellent old timey names today: Gauthier Di Cube, Severin Eisenberger (!), Lorenz Scuffert, Sigismund Lazar .. so good
