You have to love Memphis. Our newsworthy politicians seem to have a habit of making asses of themselves. More than one city council people have been known for their ability to not hold down their liquor very well.
There have been multiple accusations of fraud and corruption by others... and so on and so forth.
However, when a city has a former mayor they actually admire, they can't properly honor him due to the connotation his name brings up.
You can't tell me that his mother did NOT have a sense of humor about all of this. In this day and age of "manscaping" and the like, the thought of these people NOT realizing Harry Baals was going to be a problem? C'mon...
If you want to get technical about it, I'm quite sure his birth certificate lists his name as Harold Baals. Which, if you think about it, makes this whole conversation moot.
My opinion? If this were Memphis and not Fort Wayne, we would name every building we had "The Harry Baals (this or that)"
Like it's not fun enough to live around here and I'm quite sure the fine citizens of Fort Wayne share my optimism.
Stay Tuned...
