New Jersey Town Playing The Name Game
By Wyatt Earp | April 20, 2009
A town in northern New Jersey cannot decide on a name. Heh, a woman must be behind this. What???
WOODLAND PARK, N.J. – Would a New Jersey town by any other name smell as sweet?
West Paterson voters narrowly passed a referendum last November to change the Passaic County town’s name to Woodland Park this year. But some supporters of the change claim borough officials are secretly supporting a grass-roots campaign for another referendum that could change the name back to West Paterson.
Among the reasons cited by Woodland Park supporters is that many signs haven’t been updated with the new name of the small community just west of New York City. They claim that’s an endorsement by town officials of the Save West Paterson group.
At least three other times residents rejected new names, including Garret Mountain in 2001. (LINK)
Oh, I have a few good ideas. Here goes:
1. Mobville.
2. Landfill Heights.
3. Crippling Taxland.

Is “Moronville” taken?
Why not Pat Pattersonville, after the former professional wrestler?
RT – Brilliant!
Proof – I thought that was for Los Angeles?
Mrs. Crankipants – You must be 18 years of age to enter.
Captain – Yeah, by Philly.
Mario – I loved Pat Patterson!
