[Jingthing]

No more young Christian men associated at the YMCA? Just the Y. Y?

What about the YWCA?

Is that also the Y?

[Jingthing]

Not sure about the YWCA. However, the Village People (where are they now? Pattaya?) did indeed have something to say about this outrage:

We are deeply dismayed by today's announcement from the Y.M.C.A. that they feel a name change and a rebranding are in order after 166 years. Some things remain iconic and while we admire the organization for the work they do, we still can't help but wonder Y.

End Of An Error

Not to mention the End of An Era.

I don't really mind about the name change. As long as the spirit persists.

The Boston YMCA was the first one I stayed at, ever. I didn't know it was the oldest.
