Austin’s Equity Office wants to change name of the city
1984
And to be fair. The last 2 street name changes were opposed by a majority that lived along those routes. The city did it anyway.

Wouldn't surprise me one bit. As part of playground equipment in our city, ( Corsicana)we had a colllection of zoo animals for kids to crawl over and play on. One of them was huge gorilla that turned out to be a bit too heavy, so they added a zoo cage around it. Kids loved the gorilla, so the cage gave them even a better platform to play on. Been there for years and was a favorite of the kiddos. No problems but Fast forward to a few months ago when all of a sudden, the popular gorilla disappeared overnight. Turns out, the Mayor had it removed because he had received a complaint that it was racist. Caused quite an uproar in our little city that the Mayor took action on such a crazy complaint. Just goes to show how ridiculous all this has become.Last edited by Gom; 07-29-2018, 03:18 PM.

I would really like to meet the idiot that turned in the complaint and just ask them exactly WHAT about the playground props offended him/her??? Good grief.
