It’s coming:
“As Columbus, Ohio’s mayor announced that the city’s statue of Christopher Columbus will come down, a petition is circulating to rename the city “Flavortown.”
The legacy of Christopher Columbus has come into focus as the country comes to grips with the United States’ past
The Christopher Columbus statue at Columbus’ City Hall is one of several across the country that are slated to come down. Statues in both San Francisco and Sacramento are also in the process of being removed.
A separate statue of Christopher Columbus in Columbus, Ohio, will come down from the center of Columbus State Community College's campus.
As of late Friday, more than 8,000 petitioners are calling for Columbus, Ohio’s renaming to Flavortown.
“Columbus is an amazing city, but one whose name is tarnished by the very name itself,” the petition reads.
“Why not rename the city Flavortown? The new name is twofold,” the petition adds. “For one, it honors Central Ohio's proud heritage as a culinary crossroads and one of the nation's largest test markets for the food industry. Secondly, cheflebrity Guy Fieri was born in Columbus.”
