"AK by me A"

 

[PL1]

I get where @Undead is coming from.

On one hand, it's harmless - but it also feels like it is implying something that isn't so on behalf of the forums at large (ie. almost misrepresenting how we all refer to it).
Would be more appropriate to move from "aka" to "as I like to call it" ...

I also know it as Champagne Corner (thanks to JA). So aka fits.

Can we please move on?

I get it too but it's simply not worth the hassle it causes in here to fight it. Presumably we're all here because we share some common interests. Personally, I'd rather pick more substantial battles.

Petition to rename it Champagne Corner for accuracy and alliteration

He was asked to call it that!

boy - people have little to be worrying about if they care that much about what one poster calls an intersection

Yeah, I personally enjoy the nickname, its fitting for the area. And kind of comical.

...I've even gone one step further and given it a theme song. (Unofficially of course!) <3

Everyone has their quirks. I sometimes give names to specific corners of intersections.

The late Kevin A. Lynch wrote a book called “The Image of the City” and I am simply applying the concepts laid out in that book. If giving names to specific corners of intersections helps me create a mental map of the city, that is perfectly acceptable.

The Image of the City - Wikipedia

After all, all that mental mapping allows me to take photos from the exact same vantage points visit after visit.

That sounds like an excellent book, I'll be sure to buy myself a copy. Thanks for mentioning it!
