message: I resided in Franklin for over 2 decades and never heard the town refered to as "Franktown".   Anyone have any references that use that term?Cube lurker 19:57, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: re: "Franktown," My two cents: Ditto the "never heard that" ... That said, some friends and I used to call the town "East [effing] Frankie." Does this make that a nickname of the town? jeez, i should hope not.  once "the kids [and] myspace and facebook" get the town's government to declare "Franktown" as an official nickname, then it should be listed. this is supposed to be an encyclopedia, not the urban dictionary. 76.19.198.242 21:58, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: I'm 34 I've lived in Franklin my whole life. Me and a lot of my friends refer to it as Franktown amongst each other and we have been for years. Since high school. We all graduated in the late 90s early 2000's, that generation. JoeyParadise (talk) 22:57, 21 July 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Franktown?? 

message: I was always told growing up in nearby Norfolk that Franklin had a large Italian American population.  Only things I can think of two support this is that the town celebrates the feast of Saint Rocco and that much of the Italian part of my family lives in Franklin.  Can anyone dig up any articles about this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vishiano (talk • contribs) 09:13, 21 April 2010 (UTC)
