Apparently the city of Fontana doesn’t want to be called *Fontucky* anymore so they are starting a year long long marketing campaign.
“The mayor today at a town hall meeting will mention the campaign – a first for Fontana – to inform residents of all the projects in the works and change their perception about the community as well as create a sense of pride and unity.
‘It’s about making them feel better about where they live, putting to rest those people who have chastised us and criticized us and we are the butt of their jokes,’ Mayuga said.
‘It’s not funny anymore because we are doing much better than they are probably,’ he said.”
So I’ve learned they’ve had their first town hall meeting, and they are tired of being the butt of jokes and are *probably* doing better than us…
After visiting their official website I learned Fontana is building a library complete with a technology center! Maybe they can use this *technology* to make their city smell less or figure out how to help me pass by it quicker on the 10. I think in order for them to improve their joke status maybe they should stop bragging about being home to a major Home Shopping Network distribution center!
If you’re proud of your Fontucky roots, you can get a hat and shirt from this site (watch out for that truck!).
