[RP TownTalk] Huh?

Thu Apr 13 17:58:07 UTC 2017

I see Riverdale and Riverdale Park used interchangeably.  Guess it just
doesn't bother me.

Even at the very bottom of the town's web site the address in tiny letters
says "Riverdale" and not Riverdale Park"

http://www.riverdaleparkmd.info/
"Town of Riverdale Park      5008 Queensbury Rd. Riverdale, MD 20737"
