Talk:Southbury, Connecticut

message: At some point I'll probably create a list and discussion on Public Buildings, rather than doing things like putting the Library under "Notable features."  I say this because I'd like to talk about things like the Town Annex, which is currently being renovated ( http://www.rep-am.com/articles/2008/02/02/newsblog/315249.txt )  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Drhamad (talk • contribs) 21:30, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

message: "Southbury is the only town in the entire country with the name 'Southbury', hence the town seal reads "Unica Unique," which translates to "The One and Only.""
Both of these facts are true - it is the only Southbury, and the seal reads Unica Unique (for that matter, I put both of those things up), but I have no evidence to suggest that the seal reads Unica Unique BECAUSE it's the only Southbury (this was not my edit).  I'm going to revert it unless some evidence can be presented. Drhamad (talk) 15:17, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

replies: text:  I've not deleted/reverted, but I did change the line to "Southbury is the only town in the entire country with the name 'Southbury', which may be why the town seal reads "Unica Unaque," which translates to "The One and Only."" Drhamad (talk) 15:42, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

message: Added a Notable Features section, just put the 2 state parks in it so far.  I'm not sure it should be called "Notable Features" but I couldn't think of what else to call it.70.135.212.194 (talk) 18:09, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

message: I added a section on the SLT.  As with most of my initial posts, it's fairly undetailed - I hope others can add to it.Drhamad (talk) 16:12, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: History

message: I started a section on the school system/region 15.  It maybe should have its own main page, but I don't have that much energy right now.  Nor did I put that much info in it so far.  Drhamad (talk) 16:31, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

message: Something should probably be mentioned about Heritage Vlg, no?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Drhamad (talk • contribs) 16:23, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Heritage Village/etc

message: There is no data to backup the statement "Many people from Southbury are selling their homes and moving to quieter, more quaint suburbs such as Oxford".  The population of Southbury is growing not decreasing.  I have never heard of anybody moving to Oxford from Southbury, which has never been described as "quaint".
And you can see this from the July 2006 estimate data.  +6% population, +62% home value from 2000.Drhamad (talk) 16:13, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Moving Out?

message: I removed this because I didn't see the relevance to the article, but if someone can provide a source or reason, it should be re-added.
