Grass Valley's name has been made fun of for years, deal with it. As a customer service rep. receiving order letters from inmates across the US, our city name was a constant funny from them. Be proud of the name, unfortunately because of more than needed commercial construction in recent years we've lost a lot of the real green grass we were named for, however, this is still Grass Valley & I'm proud to live here.
