Talk:Westfield, Massachusetts

message: I'm Confused In the part about the food and drug act it talks about  Edward B. Allyn getting murdered. HOwever it does not seem to do anything with anything around it. I tried googling him but I could not find out who he is. Perhaps someone who knows about the subject could clarify that paragraph. I might just be stupid though. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.30.221.28 (talk) 03:30, 9 September 2005 (UTC)

message: I've added some text about this.  What I may do is create a new article about the bridge, in which case much of this text will move to the new bridge article.  Since there's already an article for a Great River Bridge, this new article will be called something slightly different.  The link I created will work properly for the "slightly different" article name. Denimadept 16:33, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

message: The text in the first paragraph in the article does not seem to support the 1660 settlement date which appears in the upper part of the right column. Where does the year 1660 come from? What event would determine when Westfield was actually settled? Nysus (talk) 02:52, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

message: The descriptions of routes 10/202 and 20 go into considerable detail about local street names, but don't really tell you that you would take Route 10, say to go to Northampton or south into Connecticut; 202 to Holyoke; or route 20 east to Springfield or west along the Westfield River and then the Berkshires.  Also these were important regional and even national highways before the Interstates replaced them for distances beyond a few tens of miles.  I'm tempted to do some editing here.  Does anyone object?

message: I updated the list of schools and their links.  I was hesitant to take anything out, but I think maybe the obsolete schools (under preschool and elementary headings) should have been removed completely. ChinaChuck (talk) 16:12, 14 October 2015 (UTC)

I like the picture and the fact the North-East side is represented; but, the picture and its background are not in Westfield. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JCKIV (talk • contribs) 15:09, 25 July 2017 (UTC)

message: Westfield is not unlike the towns that surround it in its significant Slavic influence. In the past, this has been Polish and Slovakian. However, there is a newer influx of Russian and Ukrainian people. The Poles are particularly outstanding, with food stores, ethnic clubs, churches, and the predominance of Polish names. Not to be neglected is the Slovakian social club on Silver street.
There is also an increase in the number of Hispanic people. Presumably, this is migration from the long-established nearby Puerto Rican community in Springfield.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Bobkeyes (talk • contribs) 23:46, April 22, 2018 (UTC)

thread_title:  ethnic makeup 

message: In 2018, there have been numerous sightings of such animals as foxes, wild turkeys, possums, in addition to the more normal racoons and skunks in areas close to downtown Westfield. Witthe the slow decay of industrialization comes a rebirth of indigenous fauna, it would seem.
It would be great if someone could find an independent source in order for this to make the grade as part of the regular article. Bobkeyes (talk) 03:44, 23 April 2018 (UTC)
