Talk:Fullerton, Maryland

Needs photo
This article would benefit from additional content, including a photo. -- Eastmain (talk) 02:31, 18 May 2008 (UTC)


 * There&#8217;s a sign on Henry Avenue, in front of the house at 41 Henry Avenue, that says &#8220;Welcome to Fullerton.&#8221; Although it&#8217;s not much to look at, it is probably the most appropriate picture we could use.  (The only other thoughts I have are a picture of Fullerton Elementary School or of Lillian Holt Park and Center for the Arts, but I worry that they might be too specific, not general-Fullerton enough.)  allixpeeke (talk) 15:42, 6 January 2014 (UTC)


 * Okay, I added a copylefted picture of the &#8220;Welcome to Fullerton&#8221; sign. I dare say, the article looks excellent with it.  allixpeeke (talk) 17:05, 6 January 2014 (UTC)

Railway station
Is or was there a railway station in this community? On which railway line? -- Eastmain (talk) 02:31, 18 May 2008 (UTC)


 * If there was, it was before my time. allixpeeke (talk) 15:27, 6 January 2014 (UTC)

Weird news story
I thought that this would be notable enough to be included, until I started looking into the details.

The article says the man was near Fullerton Elementary School, which is located at 4400 Fullerton Avenue. But the article also said the man was on the 7400 block of Fullerton Avenue.

To make matters even stranger, there does not appear to be a 7400 block of Fullerton Avenue. Indeed, Fullerton Avenue appears to only go as high as a 4700 block. This 4700 block is as far away from Fullerton Elementary School as one can get while still being on Fullerton Avenue. If one goes any farther, one finds her- or himself on Kenwood Avenue.

What is at the 4700 block of Fullerton Avenue? Kenwood Presbyterian Church, which I believe also serves as a small school.

So, did the article mean to say 7400 block of Fullerton Avenue, 4400 block of Fullerton Avenue, or 4700 block of Fullerton Avenue? Did the article even mean to say Fullerton Avenue, or did it mean to say Kenwood Avenue? Did the article mean to say Fullerton Elementary School, or Kenwood Presbyterian Church, or something else?

To make matters still stranger, the article incorrectly claims that the school, and indeed the Fullerton area, is located in Baltimore City, which, as we all know, is incorrect. The school and the community are located in Baltimore County. And when the article says that &#8220;Baltimore City police are investigating the shooting,&#8221; I find myself asking, why would Baltimore City police be investigating something outside of their jurisdiction?

This article comes across as so utterly unreliable that I had to question whether the shooting even occurred at all. Luckily, I found this, which appears to be a far-more reliable source.

Fireworks injury, late 1990s
I recall that, in either 1997 or 1998, a child had injured himself by lighting an un-exploded firework he had found on the field of Fullerton Park following the annual Independence Day fireworks display. I am strongly inclined to say that it was &#8217;97, but I am not 100 percent certain. Unfortunately, I have not been able to find any article online to verify this occurrence. If one knows of such an article, or a video of the news coverage, please post it here for review. It would probably be worth adding. allixpeeke (talk) 15:22, 6 January 2014 (UTC)

Sipple Farm
It would be nice if we could get some additional details on Sipple Farm, located on Sipple Avenue in Fullerton. For example, when was the farm established? How long has it been in operation? To what extent it is significant to the history of Fullerton, I yet do not know. If anyone does have such details, please share them. allixpeeke (talk) 15:50, 6 January 2014 (UTC)
