New Name for Renovated McD

[EasyEd]

Let's call it anything that will get the locals to approve it, then change the name to John Thompson Center.

Agreed. However, I wonder what the neighborhood would approve at this point? Even if they approve something the losers on the vote usually take it to court anyways. That's definitely the worst thing about GU - the neighbors - not all of them, but the minority who don't realize that living near a major college campus means that you have to: a) recognize its right to exist, b) compromise with it

This shouldn't in principle be too hard, its NW DC - not the west bank.

Perhaps if we disguise the rennovated McD as a large townhouse and park affluent looking cars outside of it the neighbors won't even notice ...

this is why again it needs to be a convocation center.. it can be the john thompson court at the whatever convocation center.. you see gu is desperately in need of a convocation center for graduations ..so eveyone can be inside if needed... for acacemic convocations eg when the frosh come and there parents are paying 45..K room boardtuition and fees a year... when the parents come and attend the new student convoacation and some need to sit outdside and watch on tv in a tent.. ouch .. and the same sometimes at graduation. so convocation center is needed by the university for many things ..and the fact that there is a basketball court their named for johnthompson helpedby his nba gu alums.. THATS HOW IT NEEDS TO HAPPEN IF IT EVER DOES HAPPEN .... this thing is needed much more than just for bball.. go hoyas
