You just can't make this stuff up! :laughing:
Officials in Fort Wayne Indiana have balked at naming the city's latest civic building after its most successful mayor – Harry Baals.
The city had thrown open the choice of moniker for its latest erection to the people. A campaign to name the building after Harry Baals soon gathered steam, with citizens eager to commemorate his four terms in office between the 1930s and 1950s.
However, the current administration has drawn the line at having Harry Baals splattered all over the new edifice, the AP reports.
