Talk:Dinkytown

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hmm, this should probably be something like Minneapolis, Minnesota/Dinkytown

From what I can tell, Dinkytown is quite famous (likely the most recognizable neighborhood in Minneapolis), but I wish I had some reasons why. Bob Dylan apparently visited here. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mulad (talk • contribs) 15:08, May 28, 2003

I'm a studnet at the University, and from what I've heard, the name comes from train rolling stock that was used in the area long ago. Mtnerd 21:38, 2 Oct 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Moved Dinkytown, Minneapolis, Minnesota to Dinkytown

As far as I know, the neighborhood in Minneapolis is the only "Dinkytown" in existence. If someone actually knows of another one (and one that has a Wikipedia article), this can be moved to Dinkytown, Minneapolis, but Dinkytown, Minneapolis, Minnesota is WAY too redundant.

I think this was called after the fact it was named:

"Similarly, the tenders at the nearby railyard were called Dinkys"
