Gallo, who participated in Godman Guild as a young person, suggested the name (Piave is a river in Italy) for the club. It also had a ladies auxiliary and a junior auxiliary. "

Columbus is one of the few cities with a "name day" that I can think of. Well, I guess the cities named after presidents have president's day.

Name days are a big thing in Eastern Europe. Kind of like saints days. A second chance to have a party for yourself in addition to the birthday.
I don't think I could get Detroit Day to become a national holiday, hard as I may try.

Did Columbus day used to be a bank holiday?

I mostly approve the heckler but do not want the heckler to have instant gratification.... if I didn't edit out the heckler I am not going to edit out you.

MF from MI asked "Did Columbus day used to be a bank holiday? " I don't know... I did read up some about when it became a holiday...when it became socially unacceptable to celebrate it... and no where in the history did I notice anything about the status as a national holiday or a banking holiday... I just noticed it in a bank Friday. I know when I first moved to Columbus I was suprised by it being a semi-holiday... kinda sorta. I know I was out of town the first couple of years I lived here on the weekend... and I wanted to stick around to see how festive it was....thanks for the comments... I am not sure why I did not see the first one earlier...
