message: No mention of the tower tree? That's crazy! It was on Ripley's, also there oughta be a mention of Storie's, since that's where the news media stop every time they're in town for whatever reason. Most recently to talk about the potential Honda plant. I really think these things need mentioned, the tree at least for cryin' out loud. But what is there is so nice I'd hate to screw it up myself.

message: The "generally good goverment as benifits a small town" thing really just doesn't fit a town where the previous mayor. Bailey was the matter of some scandal, and the previous TWO mayors did jail time for crimes commited while they were mayors. Does it? I am certain that Mr. Ryle went to jail for a non-trivial length of time, and I have always been told that Mr. Smith went to jail for the whole parking ticket scam thing back in the 60's or 70s. I just can't see how that's "good government". One was a Democrat, and one a Republican. So I don't think there's any bias at work here. Yes I'm aware that Smith's problems were long ago and his last term was relatively scandal free, and that he was a nice man. But I still don't think you can say Greensburg has had "good government" over any length of time. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Indiana Don (talk • contribs) 03:31, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Interior minister

message: Hello everybody.
Would anybody object if I removed the U.S... Secretary of the Interior from the list in this article and replaced it with the U.S. Attorney General? I feel like the Secretary of the Interior, while having "Interior" in the title, doesn't really belong on this list because the function of its office is better covered by the Secretary of Homeland Security and the Attorney General. And the difference between the two is sufficiently explained in a paragraph in the body text of this article.

replies: text: I did a little research, and the United States Department of Justice is in charge of all the federal law enforcement agencies (such as FBI, ATF, US Marshals), administers federal prisons, and runs the immigration courts.

Talk:Montpelier, Indiana

message: Montpelier is a small town on the Salamonie River, about 40 miles south of Fort Wayne.  It is in Blacford County (County Seat - Hartford City) which makes it the second largest town in the second smallest county in Indiana.  
Montpelier was a boom town during the late 1800's and early 1900's when a large natural gas deposit was being tapped.  Current industry is an extruded rubber factory, a screw making plant, and a cardboard box company. A large grain tranfer station dominates the "skyline". 
 
The high school closed in 1969 when the county school consolidated to the Blackford County school system.  The Montpelier class of 1969 was, by any account, the best graduating class in the history of the city.  The town fathers and mothers wept openly when they realized what had been lost.  The shining star that is the class of '69 burst onto the world in ways that are still reverberating today.--Flyboy97 02:40, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Plymouth History

message: Dr. James Loewen lists Plymouth, Indiana as a possible Sundown Town. It is my testimony that it certainly was one.
I was born in Plymouth in 1951 and graduated from high school in 1969. Every day on the bus ride to school I saw a small, white and black sign. It was on US 31 at the northern city limits that read: "All non-residents are required to leave the city by 9pm," or some such wording. At the bottom it referred to a city ordinance. The sign is no longer there. There was no such sign at the southern border of town on US 31, nor on the east and west entrances on US 30. North of Plymouth, on US 31, is the city of South Bend, which has a large Black-American population. The only black person I saw in town as a child was the high school janitor. He commuted from South Bend.
If that ordinance could be verified, this fact should be updated in Plymouth's WP page.

message: Hello,
I've been looking for concrete population numbers for Portage around 1950, and I saw that it was listed on the page. However, the census links that I clicked on in the references did not take me to the actual information. Rather, they took me to the general search page for census info. (This also means that those citations are not entirely valid, because they don't support that info). I'm just wondering if there is a way to access this info, specifically, through the Census Bureau, because the search process on the census page, for me, is confusing.
