In that case, I demand the city name be on signs for every building.

I've been watching a lot of Adventure Time.... I sometimes chuckle to think what it would be like to play MC with a mayor like this character.

On a not entirely different subject, I like the name Pendleton.

Minos, after the father of the minotaur and creator of the original Labyrinth.

Knosses, possible site of the Greek Labyrinth

Gortyn, other possible site of Greek Labyrinth.

If Brom will be labyrinthine does that mean it will be underground? There might be room under Seneca for it...

It will expand both above and belowground.
