Do
you know how your city got its name? You probably do, but there are
plenty of other cities in this video list. Some cities are named after
other cities, some use Native American terms, and Minneapolis combined
Sioux with Greek to come up with the city's name. That pyramid in
Memphis used to be a coliseum -I saw Van Halen there once. Jacksonville,
Florida is not the only city named for Andrew Jackson; I used to live
in Jackson, Tennessee. The biggest thing I took away from this is that
its easy to change a town's name when it's small, but once it's a big
city, people refuse to change it. This is the latest episode of the
mental_floss List Show.
