my first opinion would be on re-spelling
the current name as "Louie G.'s"
as was suggested by an earlier post..

however if you use the pharmacy idea
imagine the sub-titles: cures what ails you,
what the doctor ordered, heals you,
hey -- how about the Balm of Gilead?

isn't Duke University into some spiritual
pursuits, like channeling, automatic writing,
or other para-normal events? spiritual?

And is Edgar Cayce institute near by?
maybe something other-worldly, cosmic, or?

I like the idea of the bill of rights too..
ties in to a good local history fact!

isn't it the home of the red clay ramblers
in that neck of the woods..chapel hill or
there-abouts?

many people all over the world would feel at
homoe there if it bore the name of mudcat cafe'!

we did a play in chico years ago based on the
appalachian spooky stories of Manly Wade Wellman.
It was called the Ballad of Silver John. He was
a hero that vanquished demons and spooks with
his silver-strung guitar...there would be your music
tie-in as well as area legends...

are you in Appalachia? how about something from
the hill people traditions? something song-catcher-ish?
something of local initerest like the little girl's
statue that came to symbolize Savannah...

is that music box museum still in hillsboro?

whatever you call it the food will still taste
as good, and the people will still come and the
music will sound as nice. good luck!
