Talk:Printer's Alley

Notability
The notability of the subject is currently unclear, since no sources are cited. By the notability criteria, independent reliable sources are required to make sure that the subject is notable. These sources might be press articles or books, for example. The sources may, but need not, be available online; it is however important that they are explicitly cited.

A merger with Nashville, Tennessee found no consensus; see the discussion. The article needs to be improved; in it's current state, it does not meet the guidelines.

For the time being, I am replacing the “importance” tag with “notability”. Sorted as part of the Notability wikiproject. --B. Wolterding 17:19, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

Inaugural Ball
I question the accuracy of the alleged historical marker that says Andrew Jackson's inaugural ball was held here. It was held in Washington, where, as far as I know, all such affairs have been. The rowdy behavior of Jackson's backwoods friends at his inauguration (they trashed the White House) is well-known. It is believed by many that Jackson maintained a law office on or near the site of Printers' Alley.

More history
I was told that church related newspapers had difficulties hiring and retaining printers because of their dry laws, and so booze was allowed in that one street. Walter E Wallis Palo Alto —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.137.137.167 (talk) 12:33, 14 February 2010 (UTC)
