“New Orleans? I just don’t get it,” Byron said, after hearing my holiday plans; “the city’s almost 300 years old – surely they could’ve had a little foresight.”
I thought about his comment for moment. He made a very good point. Why are we naming things ‘new?’ Given enough time the title will be inaccurate. The state of New Hampshire, the country New Zealand, and the City of New York are all over a century old. I guess with successes like those it’s hard to really argue.
