Talk:Alpena, Michigan

message: A few items I don't have time to add myself:
Alpena, Dates Of Early Events is a very informative book of notable events from 1857 to 1914.  Tends to follow a "build, build, burn" pattern with some shipwrecks, deaths, and community events mixed in.  Not much info on each event but it is a good starting point for other research.
An Alpena News article regarding the book Molitor - The Murder of a Northern Michigan King tells the story of Albert Molitor, a politician and scoundrel who was responsible for the split of Presque Isle county from Alpena County and the creation of Rogers City.
The gangster Blinky Morgan, responsible for the 1887 death of a police officer in Cleveland, had an HQ in Alpena and was captured here.

message: Dear Alpena Wikipedians:
I put in two new categories.  Local events, Local museums, Performing arts etc.  These need to be filled up, not only with events and places, but with suitable links, etc.
HELP.
Thanks.

message: This article could benefit from a picture or two.  Maybe the Harbor and downtown, or the Brown Trout festival?   Can somebody help?

thread_title: Pictures

message: We have quite a few events.  They are essentially random and disorganized.  They could be better organized chronologically or alphabetically or by subject matter.  Any thoughts.  Anybody want to try?

thread_title: Local events need to be organized

message: Additionally, Alpena area local events do not hardly exist in the Northern Michigan page which has its own list.
We need to put some of these there.

message: Dear fellow Alpena/Michigan Wikipedians:
FWIW, in Cadillac, Michigan, I note that they have two subsections in their article that would really fit into the Alpena, Michigan article.
They are  Cityscape and Historic Landmarks
It would be helpful if someone familiar with the lay of the land could do narrative sections like they did in Cadillac, Michigan.  
Just a gentle suggestion and a request for assistance from someone with subject matter expertise.  Thanks
