Talk:Paducah, Kentucky

message: The Paducah Summer Festival has been a part of the city's history for years.  If someone is very up on the history and current events of it a section about that might be nice.  I personally only know a bit about the cross river swim. Sir hugo 12:07, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

message: The flood wall has been around since the beginning of the 20th century after the big floods.  At the end of the century though murals were added to the wall to make it more glamorous.  It would be nice to have information about the history of the wall including a small bit about each mural.Sir hugo 12:11, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

message: In the civil war section of this article there was no mention of Llyod Tilghman the last time I read it.  This is of some importance since it was his wife that Augusta Tilghman high school was named after.  Maybe even a section about Augusta Tilghman and Lincoln High Schools and the eventual merger into Paducah Tilghman might be warrented too. Sir hugo 12:11, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

message: Dippin' Dots is headquartered in Paducah. Shouldn't that be mentioned somewhere in the article? CrossBlade 20:00, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

message: I just read that Paducah will experience two total solar eclipses in a 7-year span (in 2017 and 2024)... -- 12.116.162.162 19:58, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

message: How is the name of the place pronounced?  Is it "pah-DOO-kah" or (I would think more likely)
"padda-kah"?   Not being "from around hyar" it's not necessarily obvious -- after all, from
my Civil War interests I know nearby Cairo is pronounced "kay-roh", but few except regionals
are going to pronounce it that way.  Might be nice to add to the article.  MrG4.225.208.187 (talk) 12:34, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: It is pronounced "pah-DOO-kah," as you were first inclined. I'm not sure how to include the IPA in the article, but I hope someone who knows will. Acdixon (talk • contribs •  count) 13:28, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Seems pretty obvious to me and it's nothing like as nonobvious as Cairo or Versailles. Let's leave the IPA to the Wiktionary entry. =p  — LlywelynII 14:19, 24 September 2013 (UTC)

message: Hi everyone.
I am currently gathering my family archives so that I can build a page about Millsprings Amusement Park. It was once located in Paducah, KY. I am the son of the founder and would like to assess whether or not this group would like to get behind me on this small project to protect it from speedy deletion, et all. The park was located near Kentucky Oaks Mall off I-24 and was open from 1996-2000. Any additional support you can lend to use as references would be appreciated.

message: Why no mention of the Heath High School shooting? 00:54, 16 March 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I was also wondering about that. My assumption was West Paducah was west part of Paducah, but apparently West Paducah is an "unincorporated community" and thus separate from city of Paducah. (although there seems to be some overlap with Education section saying "Parts of the city and surrounding county are instead served by the McCracken County Public Schools" and mention of "Heath" "Middle School"). --EarthFurst (talk) 22:01, 18 October 2022 (UTC)

message: Current version: 
Same problem as on VIcksburg, the contemporary Vicksburg/Paducah sections are only about murals by Herb Roe and his mentor Dafford. I actually like their work a lot, but this is seriously undue weight.24.22.208.138 (talk) 09:02, 7 June 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Why not try expanding it with other contemporary material then. Do you have some kind of vendetta against the Dafford art projects in this state and other places? Your edit history is strange, and does not imply that you are a fan of their work.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.101.66.220 (talk) 04:22, 19 June 2013 (UTC)

message: Once we get a section on this, worth mentioning that this is the namesake of Paducah, Texas (Texas Handbook entry). Alternatively, given how overlong the "native sons" section is, we could just include its founder R. Potts and link it that way. — LlywelynII 14:21, 24 September 2013 (UTC)
