Actually, CinnaminDraconna, we got it from the same place B5 did: Mexico. Basically means 'town square'.

Re: New Merchant District
LOL.. but I don't speak Spanish, so it's only a B5 reference for me.. and no one ever gave away anything on B5, it was strictly buying & selling (and hope your deal was legal). B5 was and will probably always be my fav sci-fi series, and the Zocalo was a big thing on the show.. I just don't feel comfortable with the way the name is being used.
And even if you keep with the 'town square' meaning, it still doesn't fit for a giveaway section.

I am in the process of moving house, so I will not be around much for the foreseeable future.

Re: New Merchant District
this was on my birthday, not that it matters, but anyway, time to get to the merchant district!!!
Re: New Merchant District
Truthly I like it, but that's likely cause I like to group things and have things sorted out, though I have to say the names are a bit weird to me... if I've read the above right, they are from mexico... still don't like them though.
