There has been talk over the years of changing the name of our town. One of the reasons given is the confusion with Fort Bragg, North Carolina. Another, the fact the town was named after General Braxton Bragg, a rather unpopular man who never visited the area. Some folks disliked the idea that "Fort Bragg" was originally built to control the coastal Indians.
This year the issue flared up again. There was lots of back and forth in the Fort Bragg Advocate's "Letters to the Editor" section. City Hall took notice, Town Hall meetings were held, a variety of names suggested and a simple solution came forth.
April Fool!

I was just kidding, Ron about changing your blog name.... *grin*
ReplyDeleteI've talked to some people who are firmly against any change, so I'm glad yours is a little foolishness. Personally, I'm for a change, so there you have it.
ReplyDeleteHA! You totally got me! I surfed in, just saw your blog somewhere, and thought, I have to check this out. I myself have spent many days wandering Ft. Bragg, having grown up in Willits. My dad fished out of Noyo on a boat called the Paul G.
ReplyDeleteJust love seeing everything familiar. But you got me. You totally got me with this post :)
