Untitled[edit]

I'm moving the "people from Harvey" sub-category out of the people from illinois" list and into this article.

Harvey is present being racked with scandle by the present Mayoral Adminstration.

Kellogg: 'There's been some serious problems here in Harvey' Mayor denies fault in missing gun case, admits problems in city police force

Harvey Mayor Eric Kellogg denied having anything to do with a gun missing from Harvey police evidence in his first public statement about the allegations Friday.At the same time, he also admitted for the first time the police department needs fixing...

Harvey police Detective Hollis Dorrough was charged Thursday by Illinois State Police in connection with a gun that went missing from Harvey police custody.Dorrough, 37, of Chicago's Marquette Park neighborhood, was arrested at the Markham courthouse...

And in June of 2014 the feds levied fraud charges against the town's comptroller for issuing fraudulent bonds and "misusing" the proceeds. There are a number of small, mostly-minority towns ringing Chicago, and they're all subject to this sort of mismanagement and casual criminality. 107.1.91.202 (talk) 16:31, 26 June 2014 (UTC)HelenChicago[reply]

New Geobox[edit]

(copied from earlier user talk page discussion): Honestly, I have to say I like the old map better, the new font better, the new layout better, but the old stats better. In all I have trouble giving up the detail on the map. Unless there is a consensus across other states to omit the local land mass detail, I would like to keep it somehow. I am not sure how necessary the demographic breakout is, but there is no need to get rid of the data. I won't be on WP much this week. My mom arrives at O'Hare International Airport in 9 hours. I am about to hit the sack. I may not have much time over the next week, but I would suggest not to make too many of these changes because I definitely like the old maps. Let's go back and forth on this and get some other opinions. I definitely would respect the opinions of Ivo and Speciate on this since.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/tcfkaWCDbwincowtchatlotpsoplrttaDCLaM) 06:21, 24 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I converted the old Infobox Chicago over to the new Geobox2. I know you don't like some things, and like others Tony. What we might be able to do to help out, is make a new map of just the Chicago Metro Area counties. It won't be as detailed as far as area. Or, we can include the map in the geobox. The Geobox will be a bit longer, but it would include the map with the area shown as before. As far as the demographics, I don't see the need for them in the infobox. Basically, what you will get is too much info, but it might be something that could be worked in with the "Free Fields".--Kranar drogin 23:16, 29 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I would like the area shown as before depicting the shape of the municipality within the county. I think that is helpful especially for many of the municipalities that transverse counties.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/tcfkaWCDbwincowtchatlotpsoplrttaDCLaM) 23:23, 29 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, I added in the old map. Now, we can keep the state map or remove it, depending on what you want to do. I am leaning towards getting rid of the state one, since it takes up so much room, BUT it does show where the city is in the state. Your thoughts on this?--Kranar drogin 00:45, 30 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Economic decline[edit]

Odd that the concept of the economic decline which has plagued Harvey, Illinois is more clearly and unequivocally explained in Dixie Square Mall's article than in this one? That article comes out and says that the area has been destroyed by crime, poverty and flight of residents to other suburbs - this one leaves it buried in figures amongst all the statistical rambot census spam but doesn't come right out and say that this is basically a ruined community. 66.102.83.61 (talk) 06:12, 22 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
