Breaking! There's a new city in Palm Beach County called "West Lake Worth"

Of course there's no such thing as "West Lake Worth". It's sad when newer reporters to the Palm Beach County news scene don't know municipal borders and come up with designations that are misleading and confusing to the public.

Reporters need to be trained not to rely on zip codes because 'Lake Worth' extends way out west of the Turnpike but they keep on getting it wrong. For examples look in the right-hand column for More false news about crime "in Lake Worth" or use this link.
