for Harry Baals.
They do in Austin, too.
I feel left out and lucky at the same time.

The bigger issue; who the hell names their kid Harry Baals? What could he have possibly done that was so bad? “What a beautiful boy, Mr. and Mrs. Baals. What are you going to name him?” Harry of course! Someone at the hospital wrote that down. Made it official. Seriously?
N.D.’S new Barry building takes your breath away
Saturday Night Live Shweddy Balls skit with Alec Baldwin.
If he didn’t have one, he’d go by “H.Middle name Baals”. Unless his middle name was worse than the first, of course. (My status as a grown woman prevents me from suggesting middle names like “Red”, “Bowlen” or “Beech”, for example.)
Apparently there was a Harry Baals Drive in the city but some time ago they changed it to H. Baals Drive (not sure that really fixes things).
I lived there for more than 25 years before moving to Colorado, and remember snickering about the unfortunately-named mayor back in the 70s.
As to the comment that the city needs a sense of humor – no truer words were ever spoken. This is the community that elected Dan Quayle to his first elected office (congressman) back in 1972, and the “City of Churches” closed every adult bookstore with bizarre local ordinances.
Fort Wayne does NOT have a sense of humor, to which I can attest.
They honor men of great accomplishment despite their unfortunate names.
Take Balzac for instance. It was considered no disgrace that –having falling into some poison ivy as a young — many in French society called him “Itchy” throughout his entire life.
Our local version of Harry Baals. A fine public servant, father and husband, who recently died in a tragic accident – and who never let his unusual name get in the way of public service.
If Fort Wayne is gonna be so stupid, I think Denver should have a Timber Dick Building.
But thought better of it.
Founder of the Texas H.E.B. grocery store chain. H.E.B doesn’t exactly roll off of the tongue, so it’s often The Hebe to the locals, absolutely no antisemitism meant.
He went by Dick.
…here in Georgetown, TX, immediately north of Austin.
“Dick Law” offices……
Not Shawn Dick, Attorney at Law.
Besides, do you know of any dicks that pay attention to the niceties of law? Maybe their owners, but never their masters.
