Talk:Redwood City, California

message: With regards to two (2) points:
# Independence Day Parade
# aka Deadwood City
The San Mateo Daily Journal has published an article today (2006-07-03) in support of both points. The article entitled What happened to the Fourth of July Rodeo? (by Joan Levy) states in the third paragraph:
<Blockquote>Over the years, the celebration continued to change. The Peninsula Celebration Association (PCA) was formed in 1939 to “take the deadwood out of Redwood” as Charley Holt said.</blockquote>

message: "In the Neil Young song, Heart of Gold, Redwood city is mentionned in the lyrics, in the line "I've been to Hollywood, I've been to Redwood, I've crossed the ocean for a heart of 
gold".
THIS IS A CLEAR EXAMPLE OF A REFERENCE IN POPULAR CULTURE/THE MEDIA!  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.30.202.28 (talk) 20:57, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Neil Young's lyrics as mentioned, are vague, likely with some intention. That said, he lives in the Santa Cruz Mountains, somewhere close to, or in, Woodside, Ca.  As such, his reference is best descriptive of the Redwood forests he lives in, and near by, and NOT Redwood City. His allusion appears to be to nature, not a location. meatclerk (talk) 01:29, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

message: Seems like a paragraph about the Redwood City Improvement Association and the public art in downtown Redwood City would be good to add too! Also Jane Kim (artist) is a 2017 artist. http://www.smdailyjournal.com/articles/lnews/2017-03-23/creating-path-for-public-art-downtown-redwood-city-flora-from-fauna-murals-set-to-spark-conversation/1776425177710.html Jooojay (talk) 22:02, 23 March 2017 (UTC)

thread_title:  History section needs expansion 

message: Something odd about the list.  Sister Cities International lists only Colima, Zhuhai, and Ciudad Guzman. Redwood City International lists those cities and Qingyuan as a friendship city.  Redwood City government page lists those four cities plus, as another sister city, Aguililla, Mexico. I have a feeling some groups are not talking to each other.  Also might be an idea to expand on what type of exchanges take place. --Erp (talk) 02:12, 15 September 2021 (UTC)

message: There is no mention of NeXT Computer, which Steve Jobs based on Redwood City before its acquisition by Apple. Perhaps goes with the 2nd paragraph under "Economy", which mentions other prior companies: Sega, 3DO. Probably needs external reference to acquisition by Apple, or that Jobs was starting the company.

replies: text: Yes, we would need a reliable source to add this information. - Adolphus79 (talk) 01:24, 13 October 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually, not really necessary, just a wl to NeXT accompanying the mention is adequate, as it's all sourced there.  cheers. anastrophe, an editor he is. 01:39, 13 October 2022 (UTC)
