Businesses on Devil’s Island: More Names, Please

First, I forgive John McCain for Sarah Palin.

So I’m doing some world-building in service of the plot, and I need some more business names.  In particular, I need motel and B&B names.  Inn Fernal and Motel Styx (again, thanks to Lorna) now play a big part, and I added luxury hotels The Deville and The Elysian, but I need a couple more motel names and a couple more B&B names would be good, too.  

I also have a women’s sewing circle that right now I’m calling Stitch and Bitch since that’s such a common, normal name for that kind of group, and the stuff that goes on there is not.  I have a kind of Radio Shack store that’s just called Crome Communications right now; if anybody has a better idea I’m all for it.  The stuff in bold below is already in the book, but a lot of the rest of it is going in as I start filling in details.  

And then as long as I’m asking questions, let’s say somebody is trying to take over control of the island from behind the scenes.  Obviously, one of the basic moves would be to put somebody in as mayor and on the town council and to infiltrate the police.  I also have this person buying up hotels and motels for a particular reason.  He’s going to make a move on the amusement park since that’s the center of the island economy.  What else would he need to acquire to pretty much control the island so that he could do what he wanted (behind the scenes) without interference?

And as always, we thank you for your support.
