SoBu rocks and keep up the good work

To the Editor:

I’m sorry the folks at The Other Paper took such abuse over the innocuous (and appropriate) use of SoBu.

I wonder how many of those who took such umbrage have no qualms about using the term SoHo when they visit New York City or even know what it means.

That said, I’m not a resident of South Burlington, but I do realize how provincial and protective we can all be about place.

Honestly, the bigger issue is why keep a name that sounds like a substandard suburb of Burlington? Why not explore the exciting prospect of renaming the city to something that would differentiate it from Burlington and really make it stand out?

I’ll keep my suggestions to myself.

Keep up the outstanding work you do and thank you for accepting all the negativity with such grace.
