Talk:Irondequoit, New York

message: I have updated the information about Seneca Park and Durand Park being part of the city.  I came across a 1967 book called "The Irondequoit Story" by Maude West, who was apparently the Town Historian.  It chronicles the history of the town from the 1600s to 1967.  I found the book at the Cooper Road library while looking for info on the parks, and I suspect it'll be a good source for information on other subjects for this entry as well.  --Anson2995 20:39, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

message: Durand Eastman Park and the golf course aren't in the Town of Irondequoit. According to the Monroe County Parks department, "Durand-Eastman Park is located on the shore of Lake Ontario in the northernmost section of the City of Rochester near the Irondequoit border."  The City of Rochester website says exactly the same thing: "Durand-Eastman Park is located on the shore of Lake Ontario in the northernmost section of the City of Rochester." 
It's also clear if you look at the Town of Irondequoit's website that Durand-Eastman isn't located within town borders.  Note its absence from the Parks and Recreation departments list of parks, and note that it lies outside of the town borders on the map at the town website.
So in the absence of other evidence, I'm removing the links to Durand-Eastman Park and the Durand Golf Course from this page.

replies: text:  On further consideration, I think the fact that this is so unclear -- even to longtime town residents -- means that we ought to explain it in this entry.  One of the unusual things about the town of Irondequoit is how the city has carved out territory along the river and along the lakefront.  I'll write something up. Please le me know if you think it addresses the issue.  --Anson2995 00:40, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

message: * The House of Guitars page along with this link seems to violate Wikipedia's stand on commercialism, but that is your choice,Stepp-Wulf 05:06, 11 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Frankly, it's never been entirely clear to me what that stance is. The WP link doesn't have a link to their website, and no one seems to have put the article itself up for deletion. From what I can see, people who know about the store see it as notable as far as stores go, and to me it looks like it's not too horribly self-serving, and because of these things I think it makes sense for the town which it is in to link to it. If you think the House of Guitars article doesn't live up to WP's standards of notability and think it should be AfD'd that's cool. I just figure, hey, it's here, might as well link it.

replies: text: I think the House of Guitars is a significant cultural icon in the town, and perhaps more important in that sense than as a music store. There probably isn't another local business we could say that about.  --Anson2995 00:35, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

message: As there is very little info in West Irondequoit High School, it is proposed to bring that information here to the main article.  A search for Irondequoit will end up here -- MrDolomite 04:55, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

could be true. possibly not though. someone who knows should edit --User24 00:16, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: cancel that, a quick google returns several results about this. the phrasing sounded like it could have been made up to me, but I was wrong. --User24 00:17, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  Heck, we could probably have an article on Holleder.  =)  Powers T 01:12, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

replies: text:  Well hey, I'm writing a book on Holleder, so I could put together a wiki page. Anson2995 15:56, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

text:  I put together a  first draft from memory, and I'll wikify it and add more details soon. Anson2995 16:41, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
