Talking point: What would you name your neighbourhood

What neighbourhoods or areas are there where you live?
Do they have a name?
If so, why are they called that way?
What makes specific neighbourhoolds in your city different from the others?
What makes the area where you live unique?
What's good about your neighbourhood?
What would you change if you could? Why?
What might you name your area if you were in charge of giving it a (new) name?

Your neighbourhood is the talking point for this week. Get together with the members of your group and use the questions above as a springboard for discussion.

In preparation for your talking session, you may wish to read this New York Times article by Alison Gregor about New York's South of 72nd Street on the Upper West Side, Donald Trump's newest development, which needs a name.
