It’s funny when you travel and they take you to “the best Indian restaurant “ in that location, because afterwords they look at you and go “well, wasn’t that the best Indian food eve?” and then.....you have to be diplomatic because you’re from Jersey City.

My proposal: each six months we change just one letter until we reach the spelling of the new name.This ensures a gradual transition and no radical address change. So obviously the new name has to be as close as possible o the original spelling. Which is why my proposal for the new name is “Det Colombo”, in honor of the beloved 70’s Peter Falk tv character, whom I believe is universally loved unlike Columbus the explorer.

Hanging art shows is difficult but I’m sure you can do it yourself if you just take it serious enough and allow one or two whole days to do the work in. Lay out all the art on the floor leaning against the spot on the wall each piece will occupy. Just doing this part is troublesome because of all kinds of subtleties but take the time and arrange all of them this way first.

Local artists: which of you would have an interest in creating a politically editorial artwork, something directly referencing the infamous tragic incident, and exhibiting it in an art show? There’s likely a lot of potential participants given the huge number of Creatives in town. But I anticipate the biggest hurdle to such a show would be in finding a suitable venue. I’m certain an Art show like the one I’m imagining here would give voice to many strong opinions centered on the infamous traffic incident.
