Last week the Free Press suggested that our city should not be named after a genocidal conquistador. So far we have three nominations to re-name Columbus. Keep your suggestions coming to: bob@columbusfreepress.com.
Nominations:
Home of the Whopper
Arawak City: Native people Columbus encountered in 1492 when he landed, lost, in the Americas.
"Perunaville" or "Perunatown": Dr. Hartman's Peruna, the turn of the century elixir that was vastly popular (and was 27% alcohol, which no doubt accounts for the popularity) was largely responsible for creating Columbus as an urban center for more than state government. See more at:
