It has been <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Noisy-le-Grand#Name\" target=\"_blank\">postulated<\/a> that Noisy derived from the Latin <em>nucetum<\/em> for walnut grove. Thus, the town&#8217;s coat-of-arms <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/www.noisylegrand-tourisme.fr\/english\/practical-information\/noisy-le-grand-tourist-office.html\" target=\"_blank\">included three walnuts<\/a> in recognition of its likely etymology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The le-Grand part did indeed mean &#8220;great&#8221; and probably arose as a way to distinguish Noisy-le-Grand from several other French places with the Noisy prefix: e.g, Noisy-le-Sec; Noisy-sur-Oise; Noisy-le-Roi. Did Noisy-le-Roi mean Walnut King?!? That would be funny. However, it probably meant something less amusing like the Royal Walnut Grove or words to that effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Taste<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/embed?pb=!1m18!1m12!1m3!1d1735259.7867777257!2d-109.3587023522252!3d31.847336627667787!2m3!1f0!2f0!3f0!3m2!1i1024!2i768!4f13.1!3m3!1m2!1s0x86d95a09ff5179c5%3A0x254574f272ac2e4d!2sQueens%20Taste%20Mine!5e0!3m2!1sen!2sus!4v1586725372034!5m2!1sen!2sus\" style=\"border:0;\" allowfullscreen=\"\" aria-hidden=\"false\" tabindex=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I found Queens Taste Mine in Hidalgo Co., New Mexico.

It was a restaurant and food festival sponsored by the Queens Economic Development Corporation, billed as &#8220;the borough&#8217;s premiere networking and culinary event&#8221; and &#8220;feature everything from sweet to savory, Asian to Italian, and crunchy to creamy.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I doubted that Queens Taste in far southwestern New Mexico, sitting no more than ten miles from the Mexican border, had any relationship whatsoever with the Queens Taste in Queens, New York.

Backed into a corner, the nation forged an agreement with the Firestone Tire and Rubber Company. Their accord allowed the corporation to amass the largest contiguous rubber plantation in the world under its Firestone Natural Rubber Company subsidiary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Devil&#8217;s Bargain<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Firestone negotiated brutal terms, a 99-year lease on a million acres at 6 cents per acre. That&#8217;s an area about the same size as the U.S. state of Rhode Island by comparison. The company also got to choose the location, anywhere in Liberia it desired. Oh, and Firestone controlled all of Liberia&#8217;s finances for a couple of decades until various loans it offered were paid off. The plantation remains in Liberia today amidst various allegations of questionable practices including child labor exploitation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Firestone Plantation served as a beachhead for other foreign investments along with the infrastructure necessary to serve them. Hemmed-in between the Firestone Plantation and Roberts International Airport (informally called Robertsfield), a town arose with the curious name of Smell-No-Taste. Many sources recounted the story. One version came from the <em><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Center for International Conflict Resolution<\/span><\/em> [<em>link no longer works<\/em>] at Columbia University:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>&#8220;Near Robertsfield International Airport in Liberia, there is a town named &#8216;Smell-no-Taste.&#8217; The town acquired its name in the period after World War II, when foreign contractors arrived in the country, tasked with building the airport. The massive construction project attracted a stream of Liberians hoping to find employment. Eager to be selected as a temporary worker, those migrants set up camps near the residences of the foreigners who were supervising the project. Every night, the contractors would cook dinner inside their compounds, the smell of the food drifting its way into the camps where the hungry migrants waited for the opportunity to work. Thus, the town became known to locals as &#8216;Smell-no-Taste.'&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Apparently it was officially named Unification Town although that&#8217;s not what took hold as the popular name. Smell-No-Taste also became a bit of a euphemism for everything wrong with foreign investment in Liberia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Tangent<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Go ahead and take a look to the south &#8212; A town named Snafu!

Liberia hosted a US Military presence <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/History_of_Liberia#World_War_II\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">during the Second World War<\/a>.
