district/neighborhood naming.

[nova whale]

You been renaming districts.

What I think would be funny (although I do not know if it fits Magnolia County yet or at all) is to add a district called New Brooklyn or New Breukelen.

Where I live in Almere (the Netherlands) they are building a new neighborhood called New Brooklyn.
Completely in style of Brooklyn New York. With the stairs etc.

I think that is funny since Brooklyn, New York is named after the City of Breukelen in the Netherlands.

So its basically New New Breukelen/Brooklyn 🤣

As someone who lives in Brooklyn, I find this very funny. It's like going to Italy and finding "New York style" Pizza haha

🎶 Even Old New York was once New Amsterdam 🎶

Plus, instead of the mega-long Short St, you could have a two-block long Main St

[nova whale]

Yes New Amsterdam. Also Harlem( Haarlem), Broadway( Breedstraat) and Wall Street (Waalstraat)

Or... I know it doesn't quite relate to this conversation, but you could call it Long Street.

Oops, I tagged the wrong message.

Why’d they change it?

[viral mauve]

I can’t say. People just liked it better that way?

We had one of these in London, at Canary Wharf. A developer did a promo for their new flats.

Hahaha not sure if you are joking, but here it is. its because it used to be Dutch . Then they traded it with England for Surinam. With now sounds foolish, but back then it was rich of goods like sugercane Shamefully thanks to slavestrade the Dutch did exploited it.
