Is there some reason to change Largo Town Center to Downtown Largo?Prince George's County requested WMATA change the station name because "the area is undergoing a redevelopment with a new medical center, housing, and businesses". None of that or what is there today existed during the planning to build the station. Hell, the pavement for the parking lot that surrounded the demolished Capitol Center Arena was still there when the contractor was clearing the site south of the parking lot for the construction of the Metrorail station. Prince George's County used basically the same reasoning to change Prince George’s Plaza to Hyattsville Crossing. White Flint was change to North Bethesda at the request of Montgomery County as the adjacent mall of the same that use to anchor the area was closed several years ago. Tysons Corner was shorten to simple Tysons at the request of Fairfax County as the area is far larger then Tysons Corner named after William Tyson who purchased a tract of land in the 1850s at what use to be the country crossroad of Chain Bridge Road and Leesburg Pike.
