Slum Historique we should stay until it gets better.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37539477.post-1611606876140974602006-12-14T16:08:00.000-05:002006-12-14T16:08:00.000-05:00Although Shaw has been home to diverse ethnic grou...Although Shaw has been home to diverse ethnic groups throughout its history I can't think of anything particularly frenchy that comes to mind. Shaw is an old family name of mine and I believe its etymology is Old English. "Nueva York" has worked for NY because of the latin influence and popularity with spanish jet setters.<br /><br />That said, I like the blog title the way it is. It's fun. It objectifies and pokes fun at the term "le slum" so folks don't take things too seriously. The tension between the words "le slum" and the uppity Francophilia of "historique" cancel each other out.<br /><br />But call it whatever you like. A good blog by any other name is still good.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37539477.post-90397062921453822542006-12-13T18:08:00.000-05:002006-12-13T18:08:00.000-05:00I've amended the poll to include Shaw Nouveau as a...I've amended the poll to include Shaw Nouveau as an option.
