Tysons, Va.?

ALAN ARTHUR FOGGYou Say McLean. I Say Vienna. Let’s All Say Tysons.The Post
A Fairfax County Economic Development official wants a new zip code and place name set up for Tyson’s Corner. Currently, Vienna and McLean are both used for the 17th-largest central business district in the U.S. I don’t see any big downsides to this proposal, though the McLean Chamber of Commerce might be unhappy to see two fortune 500 companies no longer have a Mclean postmark or dateline.

If it were up to me, I would make the name Tysons. We could forever clear up whether Tyson’s Corner has an apostrophe or not that way.
