We get
all kinds of interesting questions here at City Hall. (A piece of advice:
think hard before including a municipal telephone listing that says "City
Information.")
Some
of our old buildings -- I'm thinking of a bank right now -- have "Nashua"
chiseled into their facades as in: NASHVA, instead of
NASHUA.
I've
seen this practice quite a number of times.
Anybody know why a "V" would have been used when the
correct spelling called for a "U"? (A high school student is waiting for
us to call back with an answer...if we can get one.)
[And
no bad-spelling, "Kansas City Chefs" kind of jokes, please. It's not
Fryday, yet.)
