Talk:Coast City

Contradictions IRT Coast City
Hasn't it been said before that Coast City was supposedly a heavily urbanized Santa Barbara, California? I've also heard that it was said to be a fictionalized (and again, heavily urbanized) version of Avalon, California as well.--Mitsukai 28 June 2005 13:23 (UTC)
 * I've never heard of Coast City as being similar to either of those two cities. Between Coast City's rather large size (much bigger than those two cities easily), the emphasis (in Silver Age stories) on its beaches, and having a large Lockheed-esque industry (Ferris Aircraft), San Diego seems to be its main analog.

 * Sorry, I meant insofar as geography was concerned. I personally always pictured Coast City, population-wise, to be more along the lines of the size of Long Beach or my own native Huntington Beach, especially in regards to the aerospace industry.  But what I meant was that geographically, I've heard of it being placed in SoCal, as far north as Santa Barbara county (on the coast) and as far south as the corridor between Irvine and Oceanside.  I'd also heard it once placed on the other side of Catalina Island (in one case, in the place of Avalon itself).--Mitsukai 28 June 2005 14:18 (UTC)


 * I believe it has been said. That original theory was even given a possibly accidental salute during "Reign of the Supermen", by way of having Santa Barbara levelled right along with Coast City. I believe that Karl Kesel wrote the relevant issue of Adventures of Superman, although I've yet to refresh my memory on this. -- D. Williams 22 November 2005 12:48 (EST)

Engine City merge

 * merge - a merge makes complete sense here. Not even the same location, the same city, merely a nickname or qualifier added after the destruction, which only existed in print for a few Superman issues, but was more often referred to as the destroyed Coast City.  -66.109.248.114 (talk) 00:51, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge--agree with first post. Engine City is simply the destroyed remains of Coast City.Konczewski (talk) 00:18, 22 November 2007 (UTC)
 * result was to merge. -66.109.248.114 (talk) 20:28, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

I hate wikipedia for this. I'm so glad that you guys know what Engine City is, because I got redirected to Coast City and I'm still clueless about it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.187.219.134 (talk) 20:27, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Supes80.jpg

In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template.

What the???
What is this nonsense article doing up here? I have been to Coast City many times and it was NEVER destroyed and I have never heard of this Hal Jordan fellow. This article sounds like vandalism to me and the citizens of Coast City should be ashamed for letting Wikipedia do this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.15.63.4 (talk) 16:05, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
 * On the off-chance there -is- a real Coast City, please rest assured, Google visitors, the Coast City in this article is entirely fictional. Lots42 (talk) 23:48, 28 October 2009 (UTC)

More details regarding location
I remember one of the 'explosion' follow up issues detailing the effects on the surrounding cities and towns. Basically some 'real-world' locations got severely messed up. The relation of these real places to Coast City should be noted in the article. I'd do it if I ever find the issues again. Lots42 (talk) 02:30, 20 April 2010 (UTC)
