Paradise CA was originally a casino and saloon back in the day, named Pair o' Dice. Gambling was eventually outlawed and the residents wanted a tamer image, hence: Paradise! I have no idea what they could have been thinking in Montana. Froze near to death and a Grizz breathing down their necks, maybe they thought that it was all that awaited them!
