Minnesota Monthly Offers Creative Edina Neighborhood Names

The local publication suggests everything from 'Bling Springs' to 'Spraytanistan' for Edina's new neighborhood names.

Well, at least they apologized ahead of time.

Minnesota Monthly recently put together a tongue-in-cheek graphic offering some "friendly" suggestions for the City of Edina's ongoing neighborhood naming project. Please note the names are pretty heavy on the satire, akin to something you'd find in the New Yorker.

Considering the names include such gems as "Botoxia" and "Trophy Wife Terrace," it's probably for the best they went ahead and offered an apology beforehand.

Edina's Name Your Neighborhood Project has been going on for quite some time, with a finalized map recently submitted for resident comment. While neighborhood names like "Lake Edina" and "Greater Country Club" lack the punch of Minnesota Monthly's creations, they are undoubtedly a lot less offensive as well.
