Talk:Vallejo, California

message: This section makes it appear that Vallejo is the most dangerous city in the bay area. There are other ones which are worse. Also, the crime rate in Vallejo has been high in the early 2000s as well. I would like to see cited sources for this.--wL<speak·check> 22:54, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

message: This section is pretty important for the article in my mind, since it's so closely tied to the city.  What I have is a basis and it would be appreciated if someone more knowledgeable of the music to expand it a bit more, if it can be --Braintoad 02:36, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Mayor Osby Davis' "gay sin" comment controversy

message: There are geographic ambiguities and errors in this article.
South Vallejo cannot be south of Marin Street, as Marin Street is a north/south street. However, South Vallejo can be south of York Street, as it is an east/west street. (I live three blocks north of York.)
Old Route 40 does not follow Sonoma Boulevard through the city; it veers off to the east. It runs down Tuolumne Street or Broadway.
Other points of interest:
The new transit terminal opened downtown a couple of months ago; it remains unmentioned in this article. Also, Vallejo lost control of the ferries to the state--also unmentioned.
There is a downtown arts scene struggling to cohere. The old Georgia Street strip downtown, and the 900 block of Marin Street, hosts a melange of printmakers, painters, assemblage artists, plus antiques and collectibles.
"Reefer Row" is also cohering downtown, as marijuana dispensaries move in to take advantage of lax municipal regulation.
Vallejo continues to struggle along with about half the number of police officers as before the bankruptcy. However, an abundance of private security guards helps the situation.
And the recent slang usage for the town's name is Valleghetto.

message: It's on the wrong side of the hills to be up to 89F average in summer.  This is correct:

thread_title:  Climate information from weather.com is incorrect 

message: As someone who grew up in Vallejo as a high schooler during the bankruptcy, Vallejo's bankruptcy is really significant to the history of the city. It effectively slashed the city's police, schooling, and small businesses and changed it significantly from a city reliant on port and boutique work to amusement park and marijuana sales. Vallejo is still in the Great Recessionhttps://wallethub.com/edu/most-least-recession-recovered-cities/5219/, and many young people are moving out of the city because opportunity is so scarce there.
The history of Vallejo in its total truth, including the negative effects of the Bankruptcy is necessary because it can help educate others when the next shock happens to other cities. Chapter 9 Bankruptcy turned out to be a really painful solution for Vallejo. If we really told the truth about what its effects are, it'd help others whenever the next shock happens.

thread_title:  Underplaying significance of Vallejo Bankruptcy 

message: Out of genuine curiosity, why are the temperatures in the Climate section in Celsius (with Fahrenheit in parenthesis)?  This is a US city, thus the information should reflect the practices of that community.  As a resident of Vallejo, CA, I can confirm that Celsius is not commonly used there.
