Mount Washington Hotel to businesses: Stop using mountain's name

CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — New Hampshire's Mount Washington is famous for bad weather. But a different storm is brewing as a namesake hotel fights to keep the mountain's name to itself.

A state lawmaker tells WMWV-FM that the Mount Washington Hotel and Resort has told other businesses with "Mount Washington" in their name to stop using it or face a legal challenge. Larry Magor, managing director of the 108-year-old resort hotel in Bretton Woods, says the hotel is trying to protect its identity, not patent the name.

In an area where the iconic 6,288-foot peak's name is stamped on everything from the local chamber of commerce to a towing company, people are outraged.

For decades Mount Washington, the Northeast's highest peak, held the world record for the strongest wind gust — 231 mph.

Well, I guess it's kind of like any time you have something that you're really proud of; you have to share it with everyone, all the time. Like, for example, if you had sex with nine women. ^_^

Hm, I wonder where he's been?

Maybe he's trying to mount Washington.
What do you mean "we", have you got a mouse in your pocket?
