I’m ok with clever or useful acronyms (which I guess is the same as being against random pretentious abbreviations), but WePo doesn’t quality. I’ve forgotten what it means hundreds of times because the acronym doesn’t scan like the name it’s abbreviating. WePo looks like it should be pronounced “wee poe” which makes me think of Wifi or Wii but not West Ponce. How IS it pronounced? Wee Poe? or Weapo (like weapon or West Ponce)? I actually felt the same way about SoHo (South of Houston, pronounced Howston) when I lived in NYC. SowHow would have worked for me.

But I think C’mont & WePo/EaPo has a nice ring to it. Even better, “Where’s Decatur? It’s at C’WePoEaPo” Or, Where’s Twain’s? It’s at Ch’inity.

The other demon I am attempting to exorcise is the Random Pretentious Abbreviation Demon -WePo???
