The owner of a liquor store named after the Apache leader Geronimo said he is considering a name change in response to protest from the Indian community in Florida.
Protests have taken place outside Geronimo's Spirits for the past month. Indian activists object to the use of Geronimo's image on the marquee and to a Andy Warhol print of Geronimo hanging inside a fake "jail cell" inside the store.
Owner Fred Simmons won't commit to a change but wants to show some profit first.
