Cool your jets and pump the breaks. This is just silly. No need to start trumping establish recognition. TM was a nice fellow and may deserve a spotlight somewhere someday but this wouldn't be proper.

IN a city as rich in diversity as Boston, it would be a fantastic reflection of the city's dedication to recognizing the horrors that Christopher Columbus inflicted on the native peoples and highlighting a man who dedicated everything to this beautiful city.

Honoring the legacy of a great mayor is way better than honoring the shameful legacy of Columbus.

Menino is far far more deserving of this than Columbus.

Columbus deserves no recognition. Menino most certainly does. Change the name.
