Grande Prairie Article Overhaul
I've decided it was about time that Grande Prairie's Wikipedia article deserved an overhaul. And that's what I've been doing since Sept. 17 (I didn't create an account of my own until Sept. 26, hence why my username didn't show up in its present form until the 27th) It's mostly done, but watch for further changes by me as time goes on. I used to live in GP and I still have family and friends there, so I know that city pretty well. --NorthernFire - 28 September 2005
- Good job. I'm living in Grande Prairie right now, and I'm impressed with the amount of information that you have added.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.59.174.117 (talk • contribs) 01:28, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
Street layout
I have removed the reference to the plat of Zion in the Street Layout section as it was incorrect. I am a City Planner for the City of Grande Prairie and the City's origional town plan was not based on a plat of Zion town plan. The City centre and other older neighbourhoods are very similar in block size, lot size, and street layout to most other municipalities in Alberta including Edmonton and Calgary. While Grande Prairie was not founded as a railroad town, this similarity in town planning (and the street numbering system) across western Canada can be attributed to the towns laid out by the various railroad companies as they built their lines across the west.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.59.168.221 (talk • contribs) 21:22, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
- Grande Prairie's street layout, like Edmonton's and most western cities ans towns, is based on the Grid plan. This would probably make a better reference, as Edmonton's layout is not exactly original. --Qyd 11:25, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
Grande Prairie Music Scene
Calling Singed one of the more popular bands in Grande Prairie is blatantly false and shortchanges established local acts such as Tainted Chode, Welfare Jer and the Paydays, and No One's Alone. Notch and H2S are two more bands with local followings that dwarf that of Singed.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.70.95.203 (talk • contribs) 16:30, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
Too much sugar coating
Let people read about the high rate of drugs, STDs(the recent Syphilis outbreak) and massive price gouging too!— Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.59.21.60 (talk • contribs) 15:36, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
