I (heart) Casa Grande

I love Casa Grande. Its a small little town that i want to write about in articles! Go Casa Grande!Hey Joe what you know? (talk) 02:12, 4 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Casa Grande is a lovely little city in the hottest place on the planet.

This statement doesn't seem relevant and has grammatical errors

Rumors are spread throughout Casa Grande that state Casa Grande will host Arizona's largest mall. New comfirmation from City Hall proves that it will not be host to the largest mall in the state.

I edited that statement, put that a citation was needed (I can't find one other than hearsay), and added it to a new section called Economy. I will be working more on this article over the next few days - if anyone has ideas, please post them here. I live there so I can possibly get a good picture - it's not really relevant to have a picture of the Casa Grande ruins in this article, since the ruins are in Coolidge.

Dec 4 2006- You can also mention that Casa Grande literally means "Big House." Not very important, but it does parallel with the fact that Casa Grande is becoming a large town.

What a banal town.

XXXXXXXX I don’t understand the mention to almost exclusive adjectives. San Francisco means Saint Francis; Saint is an adjective; it tells that that guy, Francis, was a good felow, loved by God.

Edit for Casa Grande (Ariz.)

{{Request edit}} I’m with a non-profit organization that serves children called KaBOOM! and Casa Grande has received the honor of being designated as a Playful City USA by KaBOOM! because the city has made a great commitment to children. This is a competitive honor the city celebrates receiving every year by hosting a large Play Day with residents from the community. I wanted to suggest the following text because of Wikipedia’s COI guidelines to see if editors would agree on the designation’s merit:

In 2009-10, the city was recognized as part of the "Playful City USA" initiative by KaBOOM! created to honor cities that ensure that their children have great places to play.^[1] 24.255.212.237 (talk) 22:32, 3 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'm inclined to say that this should not be added. This is because, as the link points out, 118 cities have received this award, and I certainly don't think we want to add this to every one of those pages. Furthermore, this is an award given out by a charity, but it doesn't seem to be one that is particularly notable--while Kaboom has its own Wikipage, the Playful City award does not, and it isn't even discussed very significantly on the Kaboom page. So I'm inclined to leave this off. I'd welcome the input of other editors, though, and could possibly be persuaded otherwise. Qwyrxian (talk) 07:41, 10 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Dates are wrong!

The article cites the dates as beginning in 2089 and continues to use these type of late 21st century dates throughout the paragraph. Eventually, there are dates referenced in the early 20th century. Probably, the dates should be changed to represent the significant dates in the late 19th century correctly.
