Located next to Forks.

They should have kept the old name and worked out a deal with the oil company:
That, or free candy bars:

This must be why Dime Box, Texas went broke and why everyone in Cut and Shoot, Texas is dead.
If you want a glass of wine, go to Grapevine, Texas.
You don't want to know about Cuero, Texas.
The Palestinian's in Palestine, Texas have not blown themselves up. Yet.
I don't know if Claude is still living in Claude, Texas or Floyd is still in Floyd.
Everyone in Swisher, Texas is gay.
Deaf Smith still can't hear. No chicken allowed in Turkey, Texas.
Stop me before I go on....Please!

Naming rights that benefit taxpayers, brilliant. Besides, Clark isn't exactly going to be missed.

All 125 residents of the town formerly known as Clark will get basic service and a free digital video recorder satellite TV receiver, a move that has some people joking that the Fort-Worth suburb will become a town of couch potatoes. Did they move Fort Worth and not tell us?
