[UPDATE] Staci Sturrock, the movie 'Texas Chainsaw Massacre', a map, and making the case for changing the name of our City

[See end of post for name suggestions thus far. Email me if you wish.]

Staci Sturrock has an item in the Post about a movie showing in 'Lake Worth'. Lake Worth only has one movie theater, the Stonzek, and it's not showing there. The theater Sturrock is referring to is out west past Jog Rd. in unincorporated Palm Beach County:

Notice the 'Lake Worth Surgical Center' and the 'Movies of Lake Worth', neither of which is in the City. These locations have a Lake Worth zip code and a close proximity to Lake Worth Rd. and that is it; this area out west is very different than the City both in character and sprawling design. But you can see how anyone would conclude they were in 'Lake Worth' and it's hard to fault them. Below is a map of the (barely) 7 square miles that IS the City of Lake Worth:

The north-south white line above the label "The City of Lake Worth" is I-95. A small part of the City is west of that highway.

Many in the public out west and even some City residents who should know better don't understand the City's municipal borders. There's even a blogger in Lake Worth that's lived here for 80 years who still doesn't understand the difference between the City and unincorporated Palm Beach County. 

So. . .the question: Is it time to talk seriously about changing the name of our City? Vice Mayor Scott Maxwell brought this up last year and he was ridiculed by some and laughed at by others. He floated the idea and after a few weeks scrubbed it. I think it was and is a good idea and we need to talk about it. I didn't say DO anything; just float some ideas. 

How about 'Lake Worth Beach'? (And, in an odd twist of fate there is also a Lake Worth, Texas. It's named after the same general as our fair city, William Jenkins Worth.)

Here are the ideas submitted thus far:

• Lake Worth Beach
• South West Palm Beach
• Jewell
• Worth Beach

Keep 'em coming!
