Pho, the name of a soup that is considered to be Vietnam's National dish,

 and Keene, of course, is the location in New Hampshire, USA, the sign is advertising the opening of a new French-Vietnamese restaurant, but the sign did upset one Keene resident, Keene City Manager Elizabeth Dragon, she ordered the sign to be taken down, saying the name sounded profane, Isabella Jolie had a dream to open a French-Vietnamese restaurant to honor her sister Trang, who passed away from lupus, after serving pho from a small trailer for two years, Jolie is renovating space for a permanent restaurant, the coming soon sign, Pho Keene Great, went up, as Jolie states, "We liked the name because it's lighthearted and fun," Jolie wrote in a Facebook post, "It's a name that reflects Vietnam's National dish, comfort food and our most popular culinary product, pho! Keene, of course, is the location." Jolie ran a poll on her restaurant's Facebook page asking if the name is offensive and 97 percent of more than 3,400 voters said no, two weeks after being ordered to remove the sign, Keene city officials have given their approval for the restaurant's name, Pho Keene Great is slated to open March first, thanks, gwdMaine! image credit, Pho Keene Great, as the restaurant is in the same building as Keene's City Hall, I wonder if Elizabeth Dragon, the Keene City Manager will call in for a meal?
