Onlookers cheer as 'Trump Place' is pried from condo building
NEW YORK -- News that residents at 200 Riverside Boulevard had voted to remove the the words "TRUMP PLACE" from their building on Manhattan's Upper West Side prompted Greg Schlotthauer, 51, to hop on his bike, don his anti-Trump button and head up to the scene to watch the action unfold. ... He arrived before the bucket truck that would carry out the task. In the cold, whipping wind, he and other spectators watched as the crews got to work. ... "Yay!" Schlotthauer hollered as they pulled one of the letters of Trump's last name off of the building. "Thank you!" ....
Richie Herschenfeld, 57, lives in 200 Riverside and works as a real estate broker. ... "I've shown an apartment right now in 220" -- 220 Riverside, one of only two buildings on the street that still bear Trump's name -- "which is also a Trump building and people have shown up, totally wasting my time, saying that they couldn't live there anyway," he said. "Because of the name." ....
After prying off each letter Thursday, the workers placed them on a balcony overlooking the front entrance. Once all of the letters were removed, they were lowered to the ground and transferred onto a truck, fate to be determined.
Once the letters were gone, "TRUMP PLACE" could still be read on the front of the building, clear as day. Removing the letters revealed clean patches in each letter's shape, the way a picture removed from its hook reveals an unfaded patch of wallpaper. Ten clean patches of concrete, one for each letter, last seen in daylight when the name "Trump" meant little more than "real-estate magnate." ....

The best part of the tread goes to this poster who suggested anagram alternates to the original name......that is if the workers were allowed to re-arrange the name to something else instead of you know what.
The best selections imo in case workers were allowed to re-arrange the letters:
Carpet Lump, Cat Plumper, Crap Melt Up
