First Union bought Comcast, so it became the First Union Center, known locally as "the Center" or "the F. U. Center." Wachovia has now acquired First Union, so the name has changed again to the Wachovia Center. I'm hoping "the W.C." catches on for a nickname. <g>

They got the new Glendale Arena done, finally? Excellent.

Thanks for the update, Fred ... I gotta go see the Coyotes there next time I visit my mother...
