A rose by any other name

The re-naming of Centennial Garden to Rabobank has many local folks all fired up. I’m not crazy about Bako selling out either, but some people just take it too far. One guy basically called the City Council a bunch of whores and several people suggested we’re going to be selling the name of our city next.

Considering all of the negative connotations associated with the name Bakersfield, I think renaming it might not be such a bad idea. I still don’t like the corporate name thing, but if you could – what would you rename Bakersfield?

No fair using the Bako nickname list.
