What's in a name?


Gardens on Havana, huh?

Then my name is Master King Emperor Josephus, Ph.D.

Just because you give something a different name, doesn't mean it's going to stick. Ask the Aurora Mall – wait, I mean “Town Center.”

I grew up knowing that area as Buckingham Square and it's going to continue to be Buckingham after the redevelopment. Plus “Gardens” sounds too flowery.

“Hey, let's head over to the Gardens!”

“Hey, let's not.”

Why not give it an awesome name like “The Fort” or “Thundera.”

Actually, calling it “Thundera” would be pretty sweet, especially with a giant statue of Lion-O at the entrance and some guy in a Snarf outfit giving balloons to kids.
