Talk:Allen, Texas/Archives/2023/December

Untitled
Geography section states: According to the United States Census Bureau, after buying the Chase Oak [sic] ''Golf Course the city has a total area of 68.2 km² (26.3 mi²). 68.2 km² (26.3 mi²) of it is land and none of the area is covered with water.''

However Chase Oaks is in Plano, TX ProdigySportsman

While the Chase Oaks subdivision is in Plano, the Chase Oaks golf course was purchased and annexed by Allen to be a municpal course. Chfowler 04:02, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

While the City of Allen purchased the Chase Oaks Golf Course, all the property of the golf course south of the creek which runs through the course is still within the municipal city limits of Plano, as referenced here... also, the Chase Oaks web-site bills itself as in Plano. More to the point, the City of Allen's official Chase Oaks web-site does not anywhere mention annexation of the property, only the purchase of the property, and lists the address of the golf course as in Plano. With this information, I believe the Chase Oaks golf course clause needs to be amended to only reference the acquisition of the golf course for use by residents of Allen, and as a "recreation facility", with no reference made to a change in the physical land area of Allen. Finally, I have not found any reference at all on the United States Census Bureau's web-site which supports any information about the area of the City of Allen. -- DTXBrian (talk) 22:09, 20 June 2009 (UTC)

I live in Allen, and I'm pretty sure the place is here. 2605:6001:E011:AD00:6CE7:244C:7F58:5F81 (talk) 03:11, 31 December 2016 (UTC)

Does Anyone Know The Name Of The Siren At The Water Tower with 8 gray horns? Does anyone know why they got rid of the 2t22?
Tell me why. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.183.52.123 (talk) 22:44, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

Ford Park murder
I removed the update from 2009-11-20 since it's a news item that has no significant historical relevance. The update claimed the incident as the first murder in Allen, but newspaper reports note that it is the second murder or homicide just in 2009 (see stories in the Allen American and the Dallas Morning News). Since the 11-20 update, the suspects have also been named and the police made two arrests. BW95 (talk) 22:35, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

Tornado
Is the tornado really important enough for this page? It is incorrectly reported as the "first ever" tornado in Allen which is untrue. There was one in 1987 documented here= http://www4.ncdc.noaa.gov/cgi-win/wwcgi.dll?wwevent~ShowEvent~164633

and probably several others. 76.205.201.238 (talk) 00:16, 9 September 2010 (UTC)
 * I agree. Seems like WP:Recentism with basically no effect on the city's history. Brian the Editor (talk) 01:32, 9 September 2010 (UTC)
