message: OK, the opening paragraph ends with this:
As of 2009, Its ZIP code of 91011 ranks the city as the 113th most  expensive city to live in the United States
So if I read this right (and I'm sure I'm not), the city's zip code is what determines the cost of living? Proxy User (talk) 05:18, 27 January 2010 (UTC)

message: I was confused by the section header Angeles Crest Highway Controversy.  Were the traffic rule changes met with opposition? The article only states that the rules were changed due to some bad accidents. Where's the controversy? Mnoe817 (talk) 06:09, 5 August 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Angeles Crest Highway Controversy 

message: In this article and the Pasadena article, both cities claim to be the home of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory.  JPL is within the city limits of which city?  Unless the grounds of JPL straddle the border between the two cities, only one has a legitimate claim.   Would someone please correct this conflict? 174.24.67.169 (talk) 15:23, 16 June 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I believe JPL is technically within La Canada's city limits, but has a Pasadena mailing address, for whatever reason.  That is what my friends who work there say; I have no first-hand knowledge. I grew up in La Canada, and JPL is quite literally down the street from the high school. The street you go down, however, is right along the border, with the high school and horse ranch on the west being in La Canada and the park to the east being in Pasadena.  As such, it's pretty difficult to tell just by looking at an overhead map where the exact border is. 24.7.179.139 (talk) 01:25, 17 June 2012 (UTC)

text: JPL is and always has been located in the city limits of La Canada. However, when it began operating it required a larger post office than La Canada could provide at the time, so its mailing address is in Pasadena. Here's an LA Times article explaining, and also a reference where the LA Times (a pretty good authority, I would think) states that JPL is in La Canada. http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/readers/2012/08/jpl-mars-curiosity-la-canada-flintridge.html  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.64.176.63 (talk) 22:33, 24 September 2012 (UTC)

text: Legally, JPL is within both the City of La Cañada Flintridge and the City of Pasadenahttps://www.pasadenastarnews.com/2016/07/14/why-does-everyone-say-nasas-jpl-is-in-pasadena-when-this-other-city-is-its-real-home/. Per the Los Angeles County Assessor's map, the vast majority of the site (I'd say ~90%) of the campus is within La Cañada Flintridge, but there are parts of buildings/buildings that are within the City of Pasadena's limits. When JPL was first built, La Cañada had not yet been incorporated, so technically the lab was built in an unincorporated area of Los Angeles County. As the rural post office couldn't deal with the volume of mail for the lab, it was given a Pasadena zip code by the USPS rather than building a bigger post office.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:6C50:67F:E88A:A186:F249:6C7A:959F (talk) 22:10, 23 July 2019 (UTC)

message: The article currently says: "canyada", meaning canyon, gorge, or ravine
Now, I'm not an expert on Spanish, but doesn't the -ada ending denote an adjective? So, first of all the spelling is cañada and not canyada! And secondly cañada does not mean gorge. Cañon means gorge. Cañada means a gorge-ey area of land. Can't think of a direct translation for it offhand, but there should be enough native speakers here to find a proper expression. (And it's probably not "gorgeous" either. :-) ) --BjKa (talk) 08:14, 4 September 2014 (UTC)

thread_title:  Etymology 

message: I had added Adam Carolla and Drew Pinsky but my edits were reversed due to no refs.  I noticed none of the other celebs are refed either, so was wondering where to ref them? http://variety.com/2015/dirt/real-estalker/adam-carolla-buys-in-la-canada-flintridge-1201652457/.  I will admit that my sourcing on Drew's residency in LCF is based on his comments in Podcasts, and will need to find additional citation for that one.

replies: text: Sourcing is a bit complicated. You can go here for the full picture: Wikipedia:Citing_sources, but also you can just put the source information directly into the article and somebody will eventually come along and mark it up for you.

replies: text: I'm listing the celebs that were removed here as a listing of people to find citations for.  Angela Bassett; Ron Howard; Chris D'Elia; Diane Farr; Bill Plaschke, Miley Cyrus, Billy Ray Cyrus, Steve Priest, Frank Thomas, Eric Larson, Chris Buck, Manny Ramirez, Mike Marshall (outfielder), Jae Seo.

message: Under the Points of Interest section, there's a short description about the Town Center. I know that in 2016, Sport Chalet went out of business. Someone should take out the section about Sports Chalet and perhaps replace it with the new business that will be housed in the building. 
Also, it may not be too relevant to include the section about Hahamonga Park in the section since it's technically in Pasadena. If it's better to keep that fact in the article, that section should at least be reworded. I read the article about frisbee golf and it states that there were frisbee golf courses in existence before the one in Hahamonga Park was set up, but that the one in Hahamonga Park was the first version of the standardized target course.
There is also a missing link to Delphi Academy of Los Angeles. The link should be deleted since the link for the general Delphi Academy corporation should provide enough information about the organization.
Besides this, I believe all the other information is relevant and up to date. There doesn't appear to be any bias in the content. Akim17 (talk) 00:57, 28 September 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: I have changed the wording for the Town Center as well as removing the linking for Delphi.  I'll leave the Hahamonga wording as is since I know there is a large amount of tension about if that's part of La Canada or Pasadena (same with JPL) so that will be left as is until someone wants to wade into those waters.

message: There is no other place named "La Cañada Flintridge" so the "California" modifier is really unnecessary. Is there a reason why the article is titled "La Cañada Flintridge, California" instead of simply "La Cañada Flintridge"? If not, then it should really be moved. --Nicholas0 (talk) 15:48, 28 April 2019 (UTC)

message: Is there a source for using the tilde? When I lived there about sixty years ago, there was none. If it is new, then shouldn't there be a note about that? If I get the answer, I'll put it here, but meanwhile does anybody else know? BeenAroundAWhile (talk) 04:28, 23 November 2019 (UTC)
