:D This is lovely news, and I'm happy to hear it!

It's also nice to hear that they've started to use it immediately. I was surprised by that. Historically, there'd be another longer transition period, so this is great!

What's in a name... I was fine calling it the river parkway for years, then the name got changed to something more "patriotic" or something. Makes it fair game to change the name again. Like the palladium that takes on a different name every few years. I just wish people would agree and stick to one spelling. Why not stick with kitchissipi?
