    I remember I told my classmate who was trying to get alumni donations for Jesuit I wasn't gonna donate because they were trying to change the names of the "crusaders".

    Pissed me off when we lost to them. They had a post we had no answer for.... Damnit.

    We should have won that game.

    I actually don't care about their name.

    Did it the same time they renamed Madison. Franklin also went from Quakers to Lightning I think.

    that's clearly staged. But to be safe, let's ask someone who lives in a completely different state and relies on biased news first.

    I didn't know they changed. Quakers have a strange history (the group, not the school). They were massive slave traders, but also spear-headed the movement to end slavery.

    Why would I care what a high school changed it's name to? I'm not in high school.

    Good thing that doesn't matter, since your question wasn't specifically directed at anyone in particular. Since, you know, you said "How are people" reacting to the name change...which anyone with the ability to use context clues can see it meant that "anyone can answer".

    Yeah the downtown sucks. I got married in that area and stayed down there.

    Didn't seem as bad as portland though.

    Less commerce and more a business district, but Portland seemed to have more random vandalism and broken windows.

    Last time I saw more homeless in the burbs than before. Bunch of crackheads and shit.

    We may move to Dallas in a few years as wife's family and friends are there. Not gonna move back to Portland, the weather is too depressing
