World War I champs

Regarding the June 24 letter by David Palmer (" 'Champions' Change"): I'm just as impressed with the "City of Champions" as everyone else, but ...

I can only hope that Mr. Palmer is just kidding about renaming the Boulevard of the Allies as the "Boulevard of Champions." He is, isn't he? If not, someone please explain to him the significance of the roadway's name.

Um, you do know why it's called Boulevard of the Allies, don't you?
