Very Disappointed!!

Bob M,

Unfortunately, the yellow and green is permeatimg the walls, to the point of nausea. The big yellow O's on the back windows of vehicles has become an epidemic. The funny part is the majority of the walking and rolling billboards are transplants. Trying to be natives.

I live in Springfield, where Eugene is considered a foriegn country. And getting more foriegn every day. If the U of O blew up tomorrow. I would consider it a plus.

An example: There is a boulivard that connects Eugene and Springfield.
Until 1959 it was called Country Club road. In 1959, Oregons Centennial year. Springfield re-named our half Centennial Blvd. Eugene retained the Country Club Rd half until a few years ago and then they changed to Centennial Blvd also. 2 years ago there came a big push from Eugene to rename it Martin Luther King Jr Blvd.

Springfield by general consensus, chose to retain the Centennial Blvd
name. In honor of the pioneers who stuggled and died on the Oregon trail, to settle Oregon.

To make a long story short. Springfield is now considered Bigotfield,
Springburg, Springtucky, you name it. If they had their way, we would be required to bow to the west 4 times a day.


Morgan, Thankyou for your sentiments.

Ron
