Isn't there a Glock factory here? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.131.196.107 (talk) 00:05, 16 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, there is and I added it to the article.Niteshift36 (talk) 00:11, 25 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It's now the Glock USA headquarters Netdragon (talk) 15:32, 16 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This page needed some serious cleanup. I removed 95% of the NPOV stuff. Much of the information looked like it was lifted from a Chamber of Commerce brochure. I removed most of that - not only was it NPOV, but it looked dated. -Onyourside 23:15, 23 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It still sounds like it is from a Chamber brochure. The article also mentions many things outside of the city of Smyrna. Shouldn't articles about cities be about that city and not how close it is to other locations? --Mjrmtg (talk) 00:48, 14 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The picture is OK, but a panaromic view from over 285 on Paces Ferry road in the Spring is better. It will include Buckhead, midtown, and downtown. A picture of the Village Green shopping area would be nice, too. -netdragon Jan 9, 2007

Technically, this is Vinings and not Smyrna, however. The same view can be had from Ridge Road, but I'm sure the residents would get annoyed. The picture caption can probably say "Paces Ferry, near Smyrna". Paces Ferry up to the bridge may eventually be part of Smyrna since Smyrna is fighting for the land. -netdragon Jan 22, 2007

The Atlanta skyline picture is actually from the Martin Luther King historic home site in the Old Fourth Ward section of downtown Atlanta, NOT Smyrna, GA. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:C3:100:41B0:7821:31D1:2E49:F4C5 (talk) 01:33, 22 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Businesses in Smyrna[edit]

In the Economy section, do the business that simply have offices need to be noted here, and why just IBM and Eaton? The article already lists 'Top Employers.' I suggest removal. Also, I can't find a reliable source about the WCW corporate offices. I know it to be true, but can anyone cite a reliable source?--Lahti213 (talk) 15:50, 5 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
