RSS FeedScandal: Washington Convention Center Gets Renamed To Washington Convention Center
The WaBizJo has an article on how the Washington Convention Center is being renamed to honor DC’s first mayor, Walter E. Washington. So, yeah, it’s still called the Washington Convention Center. That was easy!
Though, Penn Quarter residents are no strangers to excessive naming of public spaces. For example, we have the two Metro stations: Archives/Navy Memorial/Penn Quarter and Gallery Place/Chinatown/Verizon Center.

How is it a scandal that the Washington Convention Center is being renamed the Walter Washington Convention Center? By the way- Walter Washington was the District’s first elected mayor. And METRO station names- Woodly Park/Zoo/Adams Morgan, U street/African American Civil War Memorial/Cardoza. So as you see long METRO names exist in places other than Penn Quarter.
