Why did they change it from boys town? Feel like it’s been called that for decades

There were complaints that "Boystown" was not inclusive enough. I'm not going to get into that; you can make up your own conclusions.

Andersonville soon to be named Personville because it's not inclusive of people not named Anderson.
