What would you name your town if you could rename it?

We lived in the city when they first started experiencing sewer problems, like the sinkholes.  I remember Main Street being blocked for repairs, and we even walked by one further up, in the nice neighborhood.  I would stand as close to the curled down blacktop as I dared and try to peer inside.  I even hopped on the edge a little, hoping I could get part to fall in.  Though every day the hole expanded, I couldn't get it to move with my body weight.  Knowing now what happened, it sure was foolish of me to jump near a hole.  I get chills when I think of how ignorant I was, we all were, before the collapse.
