With regard to the proposed change of name for T. F. Green Airport (“A new name for T. F. Green,” editorial, Jan. 11), why “rely on research-oriented experts in airport branding to help,” when we already have precisely what we need: “T. F. Green, Your Cooler and Warmer Airport.”
Instead of an airport name change, I suggest the state bend all its efforts to getting folks to pronounce “Westminster” (as in the street) correctly, with three syllables, not four. That’d be real progress.
Here’s a suggested new state motto: “Not Altogether Inconsequential.” It’s a little kinder than the one offered by an acquaintance of mine many years ago: “The Stupid State.” (Or how about “Gone To The Dogs”?)
