"Homes" is not a place 'name', it is a place.

We do capitalize 'place names', not places.

An airport is not a place name. It is a place.

Not: What is the name of that place? It is an Airport.
But: What is that place? It is an airport.

And: Human to alien: How do you call that place? It is an airport. (and
not it's name is an airport.)

It is still Friday isn't it?
