    Hard to believe what could have been a typo changed a neighborhood name from Fiskhorn to Fishkorn. The neighborhoods team in White River has this article and has been reviewing to ensure we have the proper names. We also carry alternate names on our NBR boundaries, and in some cases we are carrying these as alternate names as people associate with them now. It's incredible to think not only can PB data be compared to Google data with the assumption all Google data is true, but that they can in certain cases, create their own truth!
