The remaining part of this family is still well known, and something we all encounter in our day to day lives.

Question:
1) Id the pics or Whats the connection
2) What caused the replacement

Theme Answer

The theme is "Eponymous Places"

ie, places named after people or people named after places

nobody i think got it.

The red herring was Bombast, since he apparently lent his name to a word, not a place. Nor is any place named after him (unless you consider Bombay, (read Bollywood), but not that compatible,lol)
