Dear Editor:I went to visit astronaut James M. Kelly at our Downey space museum this last Friday.

After his 30-minute speech, he had asked the audience for any questions so I asked him if he could help the Downey citizens to name our new shopping center Columbia Landing instead of Tierra Luna Marketplace.

Mr. Kelly smiled and stated that he was grateful that Downey changed the street name to Columbia Way and that naming the new shopping center Columbia Landing sounds pretty good to him. Mike Sandoval Downey
