Words I'm not allowed to say on this forum can't even express moving the Greektown part to the end of the name, as if it's deemphasizing even the neighborhood as a whole.

Change happens. Get over it.
We don't call places Bombay, Burma or the Soviet Union any more either.
Don't be so fixated on labels. It's not worth the stress or anxiety.

All I can see is a whole bunch of bad puns from the name. You won't win Jack shit at the Jack casino.
I got Hijacked at the jack casino.Last edited by ndavies; February-23-16 at 01:46 PM.

Jack doesn't sound like a good name to me, but, then again, I still call it Burma.

The official name really rolls of the tongue, as if it were French:
Jack Detroit Casino Hotel Greektown
Not joking, that's the real name....
