Renaming Cobo Hall

[Sandhouse]

I wonder why it took people so long to think of this? I like this idea.

Along with the substantial reasons for changing the name--

"Cobo Hall" just sounds funny. I've had people ask me what the acronym COBO stands for.
And naming a building for a still-living politician so soon out of office was just tacky.

Al Cobo died in 1957 while still in office as mayor, and Cobo Hall opened in 1960.
