Greensboro is a Town
Regardless of the foolishness & ineptitude of the Georgia Legislature many years ago, common sense tells us that Greensboro is a TOWN. Greensboro is a small place with a small population, and a genuine city should have a population of at least 60,000 people. (In some countries, the legal standard is 100,000 people, such as in Germany.)

There is no reason for us to perpetuate the foolishness of others when common sense tells us otherwise.

Examples of genuine cities are Atlanta, Augusta, Asheville, Birmingham, Charleston, Charlotte, Columbia, Columbus (Ga., Miss., or Ohio), Denver, Ft. Worth, Greensboro, North Carolina, Houston, Indianapolis, Jacksonville (Fla.), Jackson (Miss.), Knoxville, Los Angeles, Louisville, Macon (Ga.), Memphis, Montgomery, Mobile, Nashville, Norfolk, New York City, Orlando, Philadelphia, Raleigh, Richmond, Roanoke (Va.), Savannah, Spartanburg, Tallahasses, Tampa, Virginia Beach, Winston-Salem, and Washington, D.C.

It is specious and foolish to call these places in Georgia "cities": Americus, Bainbridge, Cartersville, Cordelle, Dalton, Dublin, Ft. Valley, Greensboro, Jackson, Jefferson, Louisville, Madison, Milledgeville, Roswell, Statesboro, Tifton, Valdosta, Vienna, Washington, and hundreds of others. It is simply grating to the mind, and to common sense, to do so. 98.81.8.152 (talk) 17:49, 10 July 2010 (UTC)

Notable People: Danny Roland
I'm not sure if Danny Roland qualifies as Notable, but I did some research about him earlier, and wanted to mention my findings here. He was mentioned in 3 articles I found in a major newspaper in Atlanta, Georgia, in the 1950s/1960s. I'm not sure that constitutes Notability but here are those articles, along with a link to his Obituary which tells a little more about him, if anyone wanted to take this ball and run with it to do more research.

Notable People: Louisa Mae Alcott
Louisa Mae Alcott (author) is mentioned in the book "HISTORY OF GREENE COUNTY GEORGIA 1786 - 1886" by Thaddeus Brockett Rice. The book said she was a teacher in Greensboro, Georgia. "The Greensboro Female Academy was established in 1852 by the Ga. Synod of the Presbyterian Church. (Jan. 2, 1852) They had some teachers from the east and north. They were Louisa Mae Alcott, author of "Little Women"[...]". I do not know if Louisa Mae Alcott is Notable enough, but I leave this note here for others interested in future research. https://archive.org/stream/historyofgreenec00rice/historyofgreenec00rice_djvu.txt Fallendarlin (talk) 06:43, 12 December 2023 (UTC)
