What's in a name? when it's "Trump Place"; it's a revolt

[Jacque67 7,328]

At three large rental buildings emblazoned with gold letters spelling out T-R-U-M-P P-L-A-C-E on the Upper West Side, the lobby rain mats embossed with the same name are being replaced, tenants say. The new versions, they have been told, will proclaim the buildings addresses, 140, 160 or 180 Riverside Boulevard.

At the same buildings, they say, the doormen and concierges have been measured for new uniforms that will no longer carry the Trump name.

And 300 people, most of them tenants, have signed an online petition titled Dump the TRUMP Name in less than 10 days.

Marjorie Jacobs, a retired teacher who lives at 180 Riverside Boulevard, is one of them. Its embarrassing to tell people where you live, Ms. Jacobs said. His name does not need to be on the front of the building.
