Regina Hackett: "West Edge" is a Marketing Ploy

The art critic for our favorite general interest daily newspaper has graciously reminded us that Belltown is Belltown, and the West Edge is an advertising stunt.

"West Edge is a marketing ploy. There is no such neighborhood. It's an attempt to create consumer desire through labeling. The area doesn't need a new name, having several perfectly useful old ones. Midtown. Belltown. Denny Regrade."
