CDA: An 'oe' suggestion

To the noble residents of Cœur d’Alene,

Through a haphazard series of events, I have stumbled across your lovely little town, and would like to congratulate you all heartily for populating a place so lovely in name. However, I feel your leaders are doing you a disservice: no instance where the town is named uses the correct ligature. While the œ may seem insignificant, I can assure you it makes a great difference in how your town is perceived, and the beauty the name evokes. I would urge you to change the spelling not only in the newspaper, but also on all street signs, road maps, etc. that are within your control.
