Talk:Rialto, California

message: Where the article says "Metrolink is the only convenient way to get to and from Los Angeles..." wouldn't it be more accurate written "The Metrolink commuter rail line is the only convenient form of public transportation to and from Los Angeles..." As I find the freeway a much more convenient way to get to Los Angeles, with the trip rarely taking much more than an hour. Fried Brice 08:48, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

message: When I was a kid living in Rialto in the 70s we called Rialto Junior High School "Rathole" to differentiate between it and Kolb JHS where I was enrolled for two years. We didn't ever call the city "Rathole" because we were proud of its better atmosphere as compared to San Bernardino. My mom remembers her Pacific High School time in the 50s living in San Bernardino as one where they would call Rialto High School "Rathole" whenever they came together to compete in sports. A handful of modern Myspace entries that refer to Rialto as "Rathole" or "Rat hole" exist, showing that the nickname is still in use today. Its focus seems to have shifted to the city itself.
Other instances of "Rathole" crop up nationwide, especially when a movie theater named Rialto becomes old and ill-maintained. Such theaters with "Rathole" nicknames are in Cedar Rapids, IA, Cape Girardeau, MO, Sunbury, PA and Poughkeepsie, NY, to name a few. I imagine anything Rialto can be called Rathole as a derogatory nickname.
However, all this is from blogs and original research; not enough of a solid reference for Wikipedia. I don't think "Rathole" is going to be supported enough to stick here in this article. Binksternet (talk) 20:52, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I just want to add that I have no clue about Rialto, I simply noticed this and made that after a quick "google research". At least, rialto "rat hole" -wikipedia has much fewer google hits than, e.g., sacramento "rat hole" -wikipedia, that does not supply this "nickname" for Rialto. --Cyfal (talk) 21:12, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

message: The source given for the history section is no longer available and the city's website just uses the text from this article. So essentially there's no source. Zartog1022 (talk) 22:25, 17 January 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Which source? There are a handful in that section. The Internet Archive Wayback Machine can help retrieve old web pages. Here's one of them, here's another, and here's a third one.
