Next Stop: Snotty Yuptown!

The Boston Public Library is all jazzed because it wants the Copley T station's name changed to "BPL Station" or somesuch.

Apparently, Mayor Menino and some local pols are behind the BPL on this, and are sponsoring legislation to have the name changed.

Pro-change parties cite Boston's quaint precedent of naming T stations for nearby landmarks, a la "Suffolk Downs," "Aquarium," and "Airport."

For the past five years, the T has rolling its eyes about the issue, claiming that it has bigger fish to fry - like making the T more handicap-accessible and less stabby.

Plus, says the T, it would cost a lot of money to change all of its signs and maps to reflect a major station name-change. Furthermore, the T says that conceding to the name change would "open a floodgate" of similar requests.

The Library Side's counter-argument is that T travel is easier when station names clearly describe their next-door neighbors. (Yeah - like "Wonderland.")

OK - If the T caves on this, we're TOTALLY going to petition for more name changes, such as:

Ruggles: No Snitchin' Centre
Downtown Crossing: Filene's Basement
Forest Hills: Crackhouse Crossing
St. Mary's: Contraceptive Corner

Any more suggestions, guys? Please share!
