This low altitude VOR is located in the Continental United States. 

It is named after the motto of the nearby city.

It has a different identifier than the airport which it serves (there is no ILS). 

That airport, which does not have airline service, is 85 nautical miles from a major airport, which has been a hub for two airlines, but is no longer.

This Navaid is near to the end of the single runway at this warm destination airport in the U.S., and has the same identifier, but a different name.
The name of the airport does not contain the name of the nearby city served, and the name of the VOR is the name of the county where it is located.
This airport was opened in the 1980s, and airline service was moved there from the previous smaller airport, which still exists.  
Only 22 years after it started operations, a new airline terminal was opened on the other side of the field, due to increased demand.

Continuing on with our decommissioned VOR category, this navaid was located near a former airline hub in the United States. 
It was replaced with another VOR in the area, which carries its old frequency. 
It's named after a suburban town, which refers to its location above a nearby natural feature. 
It's on the site of a former airport, and after decommissioning, was used as a snack bar for an athletic complex! 
Bet those hot dogs tasted especially good! 
There's a currently-operating busy general aviation airport just across the highway.

This Navaid is near, and named after, a large U.S. city. 
Its identifier is also that of the nearby general aviation airport, which no longer has airline service,
having been moved to a new airport more than 50 years ago. 
A high level of bird activity in the area is a problem for aircraft.

This navaid was downgraded from a VORTAC to a DME, but retained its name and identifier. 

It's near a regional airport by the same name, with the same identifier.  There is currently no airline service there.

The city is famous for an automobile assembly plant.

It's named after a park in New York City.
