Talk:Northville, Michigan

Old Salem
"Northville also contains the semi-autonomous borough of Old Salem. Founded in the early 1800's by settlers from Massachusetts, Old Salem remained an independent city until the Great Depression, when financial insolvency forced it to join the city of Northville.  At its highest population level, Old Salem contained around 50 people; today, the "borough" (as it is offically called" has less than 20.  Old Salem retains to right to return to independant status."

Daneslord (Talk) added this bit of information, but I can find no other information about this "Old Salem." If someone can back it up, by all means, put it back in. Wangry 07:34, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

If "Old Salem" ever existed, it's not in Northville, Michigan. First, there was never a city in the area named "Old Salem. Second, Michigan doesn't have boroughs. Perhaps the information was about a Northville in another state? Northville, Michigan didn't even exist until the 1820s and the settlers came from New York, not Massachusetts.

If you go up 6 mile between Napier and Currie, You will travel right through Downtown Salem. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.46.118.40 (talk) 01:34, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

The Salem on 6 Mile is several miles from Northville and has never been forced to join the city of Northville. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Novilocal (talk • contribs) 04:16, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

None of these people are documented as Northville residents. The governor and her family live and attend schools in Lansing. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.216.102.146 (talk) 23:16, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

Local Bands
Is this really appropriate content?

Excuse me?..... You people pump this page with frivolous history of information that will never be used for any practical real world application, but yet you wont help local artists get heard by the wiki community? Get your priorities in line. This makes me sick. Make local bands a section. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 148.61.253.65 (talk) 00:35, 3 March 2010 (UTC)

Local Schools
Would a link be sufficient since the schools have their own article? Why duplicate the content here?

Commercial Links
Why are links to commercial web sites being added to the exclusion of the legitimate web sites that actually provide information about the city? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.222.54.171 (talk) 06:02, 11 August 2008 (UTC) InfoMI is not commercial and does have info about the city. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Buggadugga (talk • contribs) 20:40, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

I removed InfoMI link again. It's commercial spam, not informative. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.222.53.44 (talk) 03:05, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

Northville Elementary School
According to The Los Angeles Times, the Northville Elementary School, designed by architect Maynard Lyndon, won a Silver Medal at the 5th Pan American Congress of Architects in Montevideo, Uruguay in 1940. Is anyone able to double-check if it is the same building as the Ridge Wood Elementary School in Northville, for which there is please? Please ping me when you reply as I won't be watching this talkpage. Thank you.Zigzig20s (talk) 20:34, 14 January 2017 (UTC)
