Licensed to non-actual locations

[Dave Doherty]

Hi Joe-

North Pole is an amusement park. I visited the place once with my kids.

But it is also the name of a USGS place where a few people live, just 
outside the park.  It is a part of Wilmington, perhaps best known as the 
home of Whiteface Mountain. In fact, North Pole is on the Whiteface Mountain 
Highway.

North Pole is not a Census Designated Place (CDP). It is not listed at all 
with the Census Bureau. It probably has no local governance. All-in-all, it 
would probably not qualify for licensing today.
