A handful of the old listing’s entries — Greenbriar Village, Key MH Court, Lakeview Village, Pleasant Beach and Wooden Shoe Village — are named manufactured-home developments rather than platted communities, and Hard Luck and Podunk could not be independently confirmed as standing place names, so all six are omitted here (see notes).<\/p>\n
