Changing Names

Radio Shack has recently decided to change it's name to "The Shack." Their rationale was that everyone already refers to the store by that nickname. In talking with my nephew that used to work there, he said only internally was it ever referred to that way. Hmm, we'll see how that all works out.

Recently, Circuit City changed it's name to "The City." They went bankrupt before all their signs could be updated.

Kentucky Fried Chicked has survived the change to KFC, as has Federal Express to FedEX. However, will anyone truly refer to that big building in Chicago as the "Willis Tower?"

Another strange one is the cable Science Fiction Network changing to "Sy Fy." Yeah, that helps promote literacy in our nation.
