    My prediction:

    Houston city officials, or whoever is behind this decision, will once again not disappoint. They will pick something sounds ridiculously cheesy for the name. Consistency at its finest! :D

    Discovery Green??? WTF?????????????????

    How could that have happened? What an absolutely stupid name. Why couldn't we have named it after somebody or something?

    The most famous park in the world is just called Central Park. Why couldn't we have just called it Downtown Park or Downtown Gardens? Columbia Gardens, in honor of the Columbia crew.

    Sounds like a master planned community or a golf course. Considering where we live, I guess it isn't all that inappropriate. :)

    from The Houstonist:
    it sounds a lot like one of those stores that sells educational toys for kids.

    :D

    I think it sounds like an eco-friendly energy company.

    No wonder I haven't spotted this. The sketch is a lot more 'Greener' and the Pond is a lot more bluer.

    He hates Houston. Ignore him. I believe one of his recent posts called the city "classless".
