Saline City Council to vote on name for newly renovated alleyway
The Saline City Council will vote Monday night on the approval of ‘Leather Bucket Alley’ as the name for the newly renovated alleyway located behind Brecon Grille.

In August, Saline Main Street held a naming contest for the space, which will be used for outdoor restaurant seating and occasional community-sponsored events.
After the alley was refurbished, the public was asked to submit possible names and vote for their favorite suggestions. Names with the most votes were considered by a group of community leaders put together by Saline Main Street.
According to the Saline City Council’s agenda, ‘Leather Bucket Alley’, which was submitted by Fire Chief Craig Hoeft, was selected as the winner because of its reference to what the alley was used for in the 1800s.
The name will be displayed on the entrance arch, which was installed as a part of the Alley Project.

Bowling Alley? Paradise Alley? Kirstie Alley (maybe she'd come dedicate it)? Diagon Alley (for those Harry Potter fans)?

There is only one "n" in renovated (headline and URL). I believe the URL misspelling is permanent, but at least you can correct the headline (both here and on the home page).
