Cleanup
Wikipedia is not a place for personal discussion of one's hometown. Edits should be factual to the exclusion of all other data, and never signed. In light of this, the section on flavour is not in the correct style. Falcon 03:35, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I corrected some factually inaccurate portions of the local flavor section, in addition to removing some anecdotes that were questionable or inadequately explained. ChelleRae 30 June 2005 05:43 (UTC)

Added founder, and the link to Dixons ferry after page creation Rattis irrittis 16:46, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

Rita Crundwell
Google News presently has 262 results from newspapers and other news sources regarding this person, who has long been the town comptroller, and a nationally known horse breeder and exhibitor. Providing an adequate explanation of the recent charges would tend to unbalance the article. The present one sentence is too little coverage of what may be a major financial issue for the city over the past 20 years. The story should probably be presented in summary form in this article as a separate section, or should be covered more fully in a separate article, while fully complying with WP:BLP, the policy on articles about living persons.

 * I have created a separate article about her, Rita Crundwell. Edison (talk) 22:40, 2 May 2012 (UTC)

President's Park
An illustration is captioned referring to President's Park, but the text only has a (long) discussion of Veteran's Park.Kdammers (talk) 05:56, 10 September 2013 (UTC)

First person
Much of the text is told in the frist person ("our"), which is not appropriate for Wikipedia. Kdammers (talk) 05:56, 10 September 2013 (UTC)
