11 March 2003Huevos to goWest Hartford, Connecticut has spoken, and restaurant co-owner Bob Potter will comply: his new Mexican eatery there will not bear the name "C. O. Jones". Customers of Potter's restaurant in New Haven don't seem to object to the name, or to the ballsy Mexican cuisine served, and so far there has been no uproar about a third location, to open in Storrs this spring, but West Hartford is evidently more testy than tickled. It's ridiculous ... another uptight Connecticut town Posted by: Bob at 9:28 PM on 14 March 2003They can't all be. Or can they? Posted by: CGHill at 10:12 PM on 14 March 2003West Hartford ,Darien, Westport ... all these towns are a little too concerned with image. Let the guy have fun with it.

Posted by: CGHill at 8:34 AM on 15 March 2003CO Jones is a great name. It has been in New Haven now for four years so what makes Ct all of a sudden complain about the name? Leave the brother be. What are you trying to do take away our Consitution right . that freedom of Expression. You can not take the name of a restaurant and turn it inot what you want it to be. I do't seee anyone complaining about it except Ct. What's the big deal? I thought it was a great name. COJones is welcome in PA anytime... Since we ACUTALLY have a sense of humor here!!!! There are HOOTERS all over the place why not COJones.....lmao... As for West Hartford, Connecticut get that STICK OUUTA YOUR @ss!!!! Posted by: wendy charlton at 11:22 AM on 16 March 2003yo playa word, cojones is the homme hangout, bitch. Big deal.... it is just a name.. I think it is funnier that they got publicity for it and now the name is "Mexican Restaurant" which is pretty straight forward. we love it and are there all the time.
