No, Fred is the Mayor. The town should be named Focustown

 

[Erik4Cy]

+1 for Fred Hoiberg as The Mayor of Focustown

**** that noise. It's Focustown.

Wouldn't we just be changing the name to Hoiberg, IA?

I'm sorry but I just can't sign this petition. Either we're going to be called Hoiberg, USA, IA, USA or we'll be our own state in the middle of Iowa, which quite frankly sounds awful.

 

[rbrook]

Yes, Focustown and Hoiberg is the mayor.

Dumb. A city can petition to change their own name at any time. There is no federal action needed. The state might weigh in on it (to ensure there aren't other cities in the state with the same new name) but it doesn't have anything to do with the president.

You should be petitioning the Council for this.

Considering Ames is named after a corrupt railroad executive known for causing the Crédit Mobilier of America Scandal (which ruined the reputation of President Grant, amongst other things), I would think Focustown, IA or Hoiberg, IA is an upgrade.

Today's history lesson is brought to you by the number 3 and the letter H.

If we've gotten things figured out right, the Skunk River can do the job. Moat around Hilton.

Like Vatican City without the Swiss Guard?
