Talk:Lisle, Illinois

message: Some of Lisle also falls in the Downers school district (Downers North, I think). Specifically parts of the area east of Rt. 53 and south of Maple. I don't know the district number or any of that, so could someone help? -Rrius (talk) 22:03, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

message: I suspect the claim: "This early beginning makes Lisle Township the oldest settlement in DuPage County."  It is earlier stated that Lisle was "settled in 1832 after the Blackhawk War".  These two statements do not jive with the statement on Wikipedia's Naperville, IL page that says: "In July 1831, Joseph Naper arrived at the banks of the DuPage River with his family and friends to found what would be known as Naper's Settlement."  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.7.165.131 (talk) 00:23, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Further clarifying, in Illinois, townships are geographic areas (often a 6 mile by 6 mile square) that the state (and each county in the state) is divided up into. Most (probably all) have a governmental body which fulfills certain functions and provides certain services, albeit much more limited than a municipal or county government. These services become a little broader and more relevant (e.g. snow plowing of local roads) for residents that don't live within a municipality (city, town, village) which provides those services.   For example, the large adjacent city (Naperville) resides in several townships, Lisle Township and Naperville Township being just two of them. And, to emphasize the distinction, more Naperville residents live in Lisle township than live in Naperville Township.  :-)   North8000 (talk) 10:55, 17 March 2011 (UTC)

thread_title: Township vs. Village 

message: Recently many internal links on years were added.  I don't seen the value on this, and it appears to be overlinking. Sincerely  North8000 (talk) 18:14, 19 April 2011 (UTC)

message: So, the picture for an article on a Chicago-area midwestern town is one of a cactus? !  :-) North8000 (talk) 11:49, 22 June 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Did you click through to read what the Morton Arboretum is? It has over "4,100 different species of trees, shrubs and other woody plants from around the globe", including many cacti. It's a huge attraction for the area, so highlighting its unique character in a picture for the town seems appropriate to me. --Dkriegls (talk to me!) 20:20, 25 June 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I know all about it.  A picture from that article might be more representative.  IMO a cactus is not representative of it much less the village. North8000 (talk) 20:30, 25 June 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed, there should be a section on the Arboretum where that pic would be more appropriate, and the info box pic should be of the village center --Dkriegls (talk to me!) 20:41, 26 June 2012 (UTC)
