Handling Gold Coast/Heartland divide in Palm Beach County[edit]

Hey! Not sure if anyone will see this, since the talk page for this article seems pretty dead, but I noticed that all of Palm Beach County is currently grouped under the Gold Coast region, even though the communities along Lake Okeechobee in the northwest corner of the county have city pages in the Heartland region. Given that these communities are VERY physically and culturally isolated from the rest of Palm Beach County (even many residents have never set foot in Belle Glade or Pahokee, never mind visitors), I think it makes sense to officially include that area in the Heartland region, and rename this page to "The Palm Beaches" so it's clear it's not about all of Palm Beach County. The Palm Beaches is a term used a lot by the tourism industry to refer to coastal Palm Beach County (more so to the West Palm Beach/Lake Worth area than, say, Boca, but I don't think it would be too controversial to include the whole eastern part of the county), so it will match what visitors will see on other sites. Any thoughts? 2601:580:4302:1C30:6D31:31D6:A295:2442Molly who will create an account soon I promise
