Talk:United Hebrew Congregation (Chesterfield, Missouri)

County
What is the difference between being in St. Louis, St. Louis County, Chesterfield and Town and Country? Which best defines the location of a structure? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ben Regelshore (talk • contribs) 20:37, 2 March 2013 (UTC)


 * On Google Maps it looks like this is actually located entirely within Town and Country. . Marcus Qwertyus (talk) 21:07, 2 March 2013 (UTC)


 * The official maps pages of Town and Country and Chesterfield are consistent . . . and consistently different than the Google Maps line. They indicate the current property lines of United Hebrew inside the lines of Chesterfield, though a minor portion may be in Town and Country. When the property was first purchased, it included the parcel to the south, late sold and now an office building.


 * Regardless, when referring to a suburb, is it common to refer to the larger city or to declare entirely for the smaller city? St. Louis is further complicated by the county also being St. Louis. When queried as to their residence, some citizens of Wildwood, Ballwin, Kirkwood, Chesterfield, etc. would say St. Louis on some days and the suburb city on others.

 * I'm from Rock Hill, MO so I get where you're coming from. However, Chesterfield (or Town and Country) is no more in St. Louis than East St. Louis, IL is. WP:NOTTRAVEL also advises against this practice. Marcus Qwertyus (talk) 17:41, 3 March 2013 (UTC)


 * I read WP:NOTTRAVEL as more important for a city page claiming 'distant attractions'. Notably in this case, with the local vernacular of "where are you from" receiving an ambiguous answer of the county rather than the city leads to the confusion. Nonetheless, I think it appropriate for St. Louis (city) to claim all county (St. Louis) attractions and be in line with the WP:NOTTRAVEL spirit. Ben Regelshore (talk) 02:21, 5 March 2013 (UTC)


 * In Wikipedia parlance it is very rare to use the hub city to describe the article. Just flip through Category:Public high schools in Cook County, Illinois. Marcus Qwertyus (talk) 05:15, 5 March 2013 (UTC)
