"A 60-plus-year-old Lincoln City diner is facing criticism for its name—Lil' Sambo's—after Myriam Macleod of Sandy set up an online petition calling for a name change because of the racist caricatures in the eponymous children's book; the petition has gathered over 800 signatures, a Portland resident (formerly of Lincoln City) Serena Dressel has called for a social media boycott, one-star Yelp comments have appeared, and Yelp photos as recent as last October show copies of the children's book for sale at the restaurant's gift shop, yet Cary Moore, the general manager and son of the current owner, says the team does not plan on changing the name." - Alex Frane
