Quiz: In what city is the Lake Worth campus of Palm Beach State College located? And John Prince Park?

Unless you already know the answer, the question in the title is a trick one.

We all have to reminded from time to time there are many new residents in the City of Lake Worth. Hillary Clinton's visit to Palm Beach State College "in Lake Worth" yesterday is an excellent opportunity to teach residents about our City's borders. If the media pays attention they can learn something too, for example, how small this City really is: just a bit over 6 square miles.

So. . . Where are the Lake Worth Campus of Palm Beach State College and John Prince Park located?
  1. In Lake Worth (or City of Lake Worth)?
  2. In suburban Lake Worth (the vast areas west of the City that have a "Lake Worth" zip code?)
  3. Outside City limits of Lake Worth?
  4. Unincorporated Palm Beach County?
  5. Or "Western Lake Worth"?
Here is a map to use for reference:

Not sure of the answer? Think about it as you enjoy the music from the show Jeopardy:
Still need more time?
If you chose #2, #3, or #4 or any combination of those answers YOU ARE CORRECT! If you chose #1 or #5 you are wrong. The term "Western Lake Worth" is a new, and false, designation some in the media have come up with recently.

It was encouraging to read this news about Hillary Clinton's visit to Palm Beach State College yesterday at the Post On Politics blog:

"More than an hour before Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton was set to speak at 11 a.m., crowds were filling in the floor of the gymnasium at Palm Beach State College, west of Lake Worth."

Hope you enjoyed taking the quiz!
