replies: text: Isn't Mead an incorporated city? Although, I can't find anything that says it is, which usually means it's not. So I could be wrong... Even if it is not an incorporated city, Mead is outside Spokane's city limits so is not technically a neighborhood in Spokane. --Bobblehead (rants) 15:09, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, Spokane Valley isn't "technically" Spokane either. Maybe what we should do is to retitle the article "Neighborhoods in the Spokane, Washington Metropolitan Area" or something like that (we need a title that sounds/flows better than that though...). Anyway, it would create a more comprehensive article, and we could add in all these outlying areas where many people live and work, such as Mead. Also...we need pictures on this article!

text: Hmm. I'd actually argue against having Spokane Valley in this article as it is a city in its own right and not a neighborhood. However, that being said, there isn't a need to change the name of the article, just the intro. The common usage of "Spokane, Washington" includes the unincorporated areas around it as well. So if the intro establishes that the article is about neighborhoods in Spokane and the unincorporated areas around Spokane that should be enough. I'm not sure using the metropolitan area is a good boundary as that would include all cities in Spokane County and it would be hard to say smallish cities like Deer Park, Washington are a neighborhood of Spokane.--Bobblehead (rants) 17:37, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

text: Just a note.. The Mead School District covers a lot more than just the town of Mead. Only the district's offices and Meadow Ridge Elementary, Mead Middle School, and Mt. Spokane High School are actually located in Mead and most of the students that attend the middle school and high school aren't actually from Mead. The rest of the schools are scattered around the unincorporated areas north of Spokane. It basically covers everything between the Spokane city limits and stops where the Deer Park school district starts up north near Chattaroy. Here's a map of the district's elementary school. boundaries Mead itself is basically the top half of the yellow section and most of the green section. --Bobblehead (rants) 17:01, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Merger proposed (Mead, Washington) 

message: Quick exposition: I lived in Spokane from age 2 until age 20 when I moved to Chicago (September 2011). I became involved in Wikipedia around my freshman year of high school (at LC). I don't remember if I created this article, but I do remember making an article for the Sunset Hill neighborhood and well, I wasn't very definitive with it and I'm pretty sure some more wise and aged wikipedian decided to throw my haphazard articles into one place. I don't know if people read this anymore since it's been years since anyone has posted on it but none the less...
This article is a mix of city defined and resident perceived neighborhoods, both in the names of sections and the way they are defined in the text. I now live in Chicago, a city with 77 city defined neighborhoods and probably 1000 resident defined ones. That said, I agree with the layout in place now. Division between north and south of the river (though that does get hard when the river bends to the NNW after passing thru Peaceful Valley) is very good. Within the north and south sections the first sub-sections being official city recognized neighborhoods is also good. They may in places divide areas that residents recognize as independent neighborhoods but they provide us with a very solid structure. I propose, and am about to go about putting this into effect, a system where unofficial neighborhoods are placed within the official neighborhood within which they exist. Examples: Vinegar Flats within Latah Valley, Sunset Hill within West Hills and Granview/Thorpe, Daveport Arts District within Riverside. SpokaneWilly (talk) 04:41, 22 September 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: Being Definitive

message: Honestly, how is any of this notable? Why is a "business district" (that is actually a grocery store and like 5 other small stores) on the corner of indian trail and barnes st notable enough to be in an encyclopedia? This is not 5th ave, people.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.132.103.137 (talk) 17:54, 21 January 2013 (UTC)
