Notable residents
Well, Horatio Alger and Tony Conigliaro are trivially proven. So is Amanda Hickey, but I'm putting that up for VfD. As for "The Tin Man from Wizard of Oz", his name was Jack Haley, and IMDB only says he was from Boston.
 * Some famous, wonderful, or notable Revereians are:
 * Amanda Hickey
 * Mary Ellen Dakin
 * Jon Mitchell
 * Marc Fellowes
 * Author Horatio Alger
 * The Tin Man from Wizard of Oz
 * Mayor Bob Haas
 * Mike Spinelli, who was on the Red Sox but was tested positive for performance-enhancing steroids
 * Susan Pedicini
 * Dan Disario
 * Baseball legend Tony Conigliaro

It seems non-notable to point out that the mayor of the town is from the town.

Amanda Hickey, Mary Ellen Dakin, Dan Disario, Susan Pedicini - non-notable Revere High School students, accg. to Google. Probably same is true for Jon Mitchell and Marc Fellowes.

 * Actually they are notable residents on a "local scale". Mary Ellen Dakin and Jon Mitchell are devoted english teachers. Marc fellowes is a history teacher, who runs the excellent speech and debate club which has in the past won some tournaments at the state level. Dan Dasario and Susan Pedicini are both notable Harvard University students who grduated with the class of 2004 and are noted for their acedemic achievement. Susan took part in the national science fair competition and subsequently did quite well finishing second? not sure. One of my friends knew Dan as he was also in the speech and debate club. Hope that helps shed some light on the subject Keith. You guys should really get some local wikipedians in the state to write these articles for you or take anonymous edits, especially from folks who know the territory, unless you are then I would say you have done a good job with page so far.

 * Actually the former mayor Bob Haas was not actually born and raised in Revere, but the small town north of Revere, Saugus. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.206.242.3 (talk) 22:56, 15 November 2007 (UTC)


 * I've gone ahead and added Amanda Hickey and Mary Ellen Dakin to the list of notable people. Shannend29 (talk) 06:56, 5 January 2019 (UTC)

Narrow gauge railway
Do you know or find anything about this narrow gauge railway? --NearEMPTiness (talk) 05:03, 24 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Washburn Ave runs right alongside where the Blue Line (MBTA) runs today. I believe those tracks are far older, however. Achowat (talk) 06:24, 25 July 2015 (UTC)
 * That's the Boston, Revere Beach and Lynn Railroad. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 05:01, 21 July 2016 (UTC)
