Wang

Local real estate agent...

...selling the place next to my brother's is named Michael Hunt....

Can't help but smirk every time I see that sign....:nono:

And no, I've not seen him....:D
 
If I recall, the last name Wang is supposed to be pronounced as Wong.

It would still be funny if the name was Sum-Ting-Wong

Marantz came out with the PMS (for "portable music system") line of audio geararound the late 70s/early 80s. It subsequently was changed to the CRS line, with identical models and numbers; they just changed the prefix. I'm guessing someone finally told the Japanese what "PMS" was starting to mean in America.

I wonder if anyone told them what "CRS" means? I suppose they forgot to....

Around the same time, RCA was selling a line of components called "Dimensia", and no, I'm not making that up :D

I'm right smack dab in the middle of "Wang Country" (No snickering from you kids in the back!)!

The former Wang headquarters is now known as "Crosspoint Towers" and is leased out to various companies. Dr. Wang was a much liked figure around the Lowell area, not only did his company provide many jobs to the locals, he was active in charity work as well.

To this day, you still hear people refering to the Crosspoint Towers as the Wang building.
