It’s certainly possible. I saw there is a proposal to rename the road that goes from Western near the 275 N ramp to The Concourse. Some city leader wants to change it to Assylum Road because forever ago there was an assylum there. It’s nice to see them tackling the big issues.

That could be correct as Ft. sanders area is where Longstreet's attempted siege of K'town was easily suppressed by Union sympathizers.
