Town name of the month: Pahrump
January 29, 2009 | Nevada, industry, local issues, states | Comments (2)From the Pahrump (NV) Valley Times:
Cash AdvantEdge was denied a conditional use permit and a waiver from a minimum separation of 1,500 feet from other check-cashing payday loan businesses by Nye County commissioners last week.
Attorney Liz Sorokac appealed a denial of the request in front of the Pahrump Regional Planning commission Oct. 15.
Cash AdvantEdge would have been located in a 125-square-foot kiosk inside Rent-A-Center next door to Super Pawn.
But commissioners gave Sorokac strong assurances the county commission will consider changing the minimum distance requirement in the county code.
Someone should use the name of that town in a country music song.
Correction: Spelling of town corrected.

The name of the town is actually Pahrump (It’s native american for ‘water rock’ I believe’)
It’s already in a song…The Little Drummer Boy.
Come, they told me…Pahrump a pum pum.
