message: I have added some new images to the article, including changing the top image in the infobox. While it was a very nice panorama of the Spit, the actual town was about a half mile outside the frame. I have replaced it with an image looking back at Homer from the slough on a winter day.

message: Seeing as Homer does have an unusually high number of nonprofit organizations it may be a good idea to have a section or subsection detailing this phenomenon and mentioning some of the more well known ones. We already have a few with their own articles such as the Homer Public Library and the Kenai Peninsula Orchestra. the idea here would be to list the more notable organizations and try to find sources for them to help construct this new content.

message: FWIW, searching for "Miller Landing, AK" on Google Maps takes one to Miller's Landing in Lowell Point. RadioKAOS / Talk to me, Billy / Transmissions  02:25, 22 November 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't find that particularly surprising as locals refer to this area as "Kachemak Drive near the boat yard and the gear shed." Even the exact site where the landing was isn't called that anymore, its the Northern Enterprises boat haul-out these days. I have also found that the Google maps folks made a lot of errors in this area and when contacted about specific problems they do not fix them or even reply at all.

message: Long known as The "Halibut Fishing Capital of the World."
Homer is also nicknamed "the end of the road,"
and more recently, "the cosmic hamlet by the sea."
Where are the citations for these? HardeeHar (talk) 09:52, 15 April 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: A late reply, but I can answer at least one of those: "Cosmic Hamlet by the Sea" is a quote from a guy who was known as  Brother Asaiah, and was documented by the New York Times, among others. A quick googling of "Halibut Capital of the World" shows the local Chamber of Commerce, and many other sources using it  and I believe this is actually a real "official" thing as I seem to recall we lost the title at one point. "The End of the Road" is possibly from Tom Bodett, who wrote extensively about his experiences in Homer, and this is the title of one of his books of collected tales of Homer.
