I am sure Mr Glasson's would like it named after him. If it is to be named after a dead person I nominate Stephen Luke who was a fighter for the youth and who got arrested for obstruction when they first ripped the area up. Frankly though there is nothing there now to name it after- it is only a bland corner now with no character- just the way they like it.

People used to play alot of hacky sac there before it was ripped out... Maybe they can name it the "Play classical music and get out you young looking people" area? “They believe that the use of the term ‘hack’ lowers the tone of the area and is not in keeping with the image they wish to portray.” – CCC
