One man is on a quest to get one of his favorite places to go and relax rechristened Busta Rhymes Island.
Kevin O'Brien is a guy in his early thirties who works in tech support and DJ's at weddings. Him and his wife moved to the small town of Shrewsbury, MA., about 10 years ago. Near O'Brien's home is a lake with a tiny 40-by-40 island in the middle, and it's become a favorite destination for him and his wife to hang out and drink beer.
O'Brien, who accesses the island by kayak, installed a rope swing and planted blueberry bushes. He also cleans up after the teens who, like him, use the island as a place to unwind and drink some brews. When you love a place this much, you don't want it to go nameless.
He and a friend decided to name it Busta Rhymes Island.
So O'Brien went on Google Maps and geotagged the speck of land with its new name. However, for the name to be official he would have to get it approved by the U.S. Board of Geographic Names.
This is where he ran into problems, because it turns out you can't name a geographic feature after a celebrity until that celebrity has been dead for five years.
For now, O'Brien will have to settle for a geotag.
