domestikgoddez:  Not to argue, but to present a new perspective, perhaps Kesey Square is intended to honor Ken as a son of Lane County or of Oregon? He was a local in the sense that my produce or my christmas tree is locally sourced, although not necessarily grown right here in Eugene. His son attended the U of O. Springfield Creamery, if you understand the connection, moved away from Spfd and has been located in Eugene for many years. And this makes me wonder...if only hometowns deserved ownership of legacy or the right to honor a citizen, why do so many non-hometowns name streets or squares after Washington, MLK, and other great Americans? Just my thoughts.  Thank you for your perspective as well.
