| This is a French Quarter. The world doesn't need another one. |
The term "French Quarter" already refers to the following things:
- A district in New Orleans, LA
- A district in San Francisco, CA
- A section of downtown Charleston, SC
- A portion of Hanoi, Vietnam
- A portion of Puducherry, India
- The fourth of the genetic make up contributed by a person's sole French grandparent.
"The District" refers to, amongst others, the following things:
- A police series on CBS that ran for three seasons staring Craig T. Nelson
- A 2004 Hungarian animated film
- The District of Columbia
- Locally, occasionally used for The Design District
- An upscale shopping area in Irvine, CA
- An upscale shopping area somewhere in Nevada.
- An upscale shopping area in Columbia, MO
- An upscale shopping area in Nashville, TN
We think it's time to go back to the drawing board and come up with something a bit more original. We suggest going PoMo and just calling one "Regal, Old European-Sounding Quarter" and the other "Upscale Shopping Area."
