In the foothills of the Cascade Mountains in Oregon, there is a small town called Detroit. Residents in the town want to discourage associations with the large metropolis of Detroit, Michigan and so are considering renaming their mountain village. The new name that has been suggested is “Detroit Lake”, which would differentiate it and draw attention to the fact that the town is located near a lake. “I bought the old Detroit Lake Motel, and we turned it into a beautiful lodge,” Local businessman Doug DeGeorge said, “When people asked me what project I was working on, I’d tell them I was building a lodge in Detroit. When I said, ‘Detroit,’ everyone would scrunch up their noses and furrow their brows.” According to DeGeorge, people have a negative association with the ‘Motor City’ and that reputation is tarnishing the Oregon version’s tourism industry. renamer
James Ridgeway, Samuel Hunter Sr. And Charles Hudnall are three people who have been dedicated and committed through their lives to community baseball in the city of Bridgeton, New Jersey, and now they will be honoured as the local baseball field is renamed in their honour. New Jersey city council and Mayor Albert Kelly have passed a resolution recently renaming the Babe Ruth Baseball Field and scoreboard after these passionate volunteers, who have had a positive influence on the three generations that have passed under their leadership. City parks and recreation director Melissa Hemple said that the men had put so many years into the city’s baseball program that they deserve to be remembered in the name of the field. renamer
