No joke: Ex-mayor's name too funny for Ind. center:
"'We realize that while Harry Baals was a respected mayor, not everyone outside of Fort Wayne will know that,' Malloy said Tuesday in a statement to The Associated Press. 'We wanted to pick something that would reflect our pride in our community beyond the boundaries of Fort Wayne.' An online site taking suggestions for names showed more than 1,000 votes Tuesday for the Harry Baals Government Center. That's more than three times the votes received by the closest contender."

I guess his cousins Itchy, Sticky, Scratchy and Fuzzy are relieved.
