Okay, I lived at Arcosanti for five years, and in the region for ten, and never heard it called anything like "The City of Bells". And the whole "City of the Future" thing is fairly tongue-in-cheek. I'm pondering editing this entry accordingly.
[edit] Wind chimes?
Speaking of bells, I've never heard the bells cast at Arcosanti referred to as "wind chimes" before reading this article. Always as "bells". (And beautiful ones, I must say.) Anyone else know about this? --ILike2BeAnonymous 08:56, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
I lived at Arcosanti & Cosanti for 17 years and worked in the metal studio making the bells. The bells were originally referred to as "windbells." Then later that was broadened to "wind chimes." A windbell has an internal clapper only. A wind chime has external clappers as well/or instead.
[edit] "Landmarks"
What is the basis for placing this in a "landmarks" category? Does it have legal status as a state landmark (in which case the article should mention that and doesn't)? Otherwise: everywhere is a landmark to someone, entirely subjective, should not be used as a category. - Jmabel | Talk 19:38, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
