CITY

Such a great word, some places use it twice! For example, in this area, there's
a place called Haines City. Now, you would assume it's a city, because it's
called Haines City, right? But actually, no. If you get a business call from these
folks, they tell you they're calling from 'The City Of Haines City'. Seems
rather redundant to me, but apparently they all do it. Now Haines City is
fairly large, at least in area, but I've driven through some of these 'Citys'
that are pretty rinkydink.
Don't you think they should legally call theselves,eg:The Town of Rinkydink City?
I mean, really, shouldn't there be a 'Truth In Naming Act', there's a law for pretty
much everything else in the world, why not that? Wouldn't you hate to be lost
somewhere and see a City listed on the map, and when you got there find out there's no
hotel, gas station, or anything other than a rundown McDonald's?
Hey, let's call a spade a spade, not a steam shovel...
