Talk:Latrobe, Pennsylvania

message: No mention of the Loyalhanna Creek, probably worth mentioning that it runs directly through town coming from the East through a gorge in the chestnut ridge and runs through the city from Southeast to Northwest toward New Alexandria. Also link to that article, thanks.   — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.165.86.4 (talk) 01:52, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

message: Most of my family are from Latrobe. I took this picture a few years back.  I realize it's not Chamber of Commerce quality, but it does have a certain honesty about it in my opinion.  Comments?  If any native Latrobians would disagree, I'd love to see your photos. 70.95.217.129 03:49, 4 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I think it suits the town well. That's the kind of scene I think of when I remember Latrobe. --Vyran 07:25, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Since you two seem to be Latrobians, I have a question: Doing some research in this area of the state, I'm trying to locate Chambers Mill, which should be close to Uniontown (or an easy day's ride from there by horse in the 1790s, anyway), but I'm having no luck. One not-entirely-dependable source says Latrobe was built on the site or location of the "much earlier Chambers Mill, almost in the woods." Can't confirm that statement, either. Do either of you remember this possible bit of local history? Thanks! --Michael K. Smith 14:55, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  I asked my folks about this (who both grew up there). They recall hearing the name "Chambers Mill," but couldn't remember much about it. They'll dig up their Latrobe Centennial book from 1954 and see if it's mentioned in that. OhNoitsJamieTalk 17:53, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: There is a Chambers Mill about 7 miles directly south of Washington, PA on Banetown Road.  It's so small it isn't on many maps, probably considered a village.  Small clustering of about 20-25 homes adjacent to a creek 38 miles NW of Uniontown. If you search Google directions from Washington PA to Chambers Mill, it should show up.24.253.40.10 07:12, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Photo

message: This is really picky, but the caption on the picture says "Spring Street, downtown."  Now, I think I know where that picture was taken (isn't it one street up from the intersection with Alexandria?), and I wouldn't really call that "downtown."  Sorry for being picky (and of course maybe I'm wrong about where it was taken, or about what should count as "downtown").  --Bryan12603 06:41, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Issue with the Caption 

message: Latrobe actually wasn't the location of the first pro (American) football game, as both Latrobe and the NFL admit. Here's a page from the NFL Hall of Fame site with a bit on this... http://www.profootballhof.com/history/general/birth.jsp  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.95.173.186 (talk) 18:39, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Football 

message: It's relevant to state that Latrobe was once the home of Rolling Rock beer but to go into an entire paragraph about rolling rock being sold out doesn't have any place in the article. That information would be relevant in a rolling rock page; if there is one. Woods01 (talk)

Generally speaking, if the subject does not have a Wikipedia article, you probably shouldn't add them to the "notable people" list.

text: Greetings Wikipedians! I have added Marcus Wilson Saxman to the list of notable people, based on the credentials set forth in the citation. I believe he also merits his own Wikipedia article. I will pursue getting such an article drafted and into the approval process. Cordially, BuzzWeiser196 (talk) 12:42, 23 May 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  Is it OK to add a notable person? 

message: If it is in the (massive) Pittsburgh market, what does Johnstown-Altoona (J-A) have to do with anything? Also, does this mean only one J-A station comes in clearly "over the airwaves", or does it mean that no cable tv is available in Latrobe and the ONLY station available in all of Latrobe is that single one from J-A?
