"Correct" Spanish pronounciation - "Correct" is a value judgement.
Gemco vs. Target - The Big Sky Theater was the site of a redevelopment centered around a GEMCO. Only after Lucky stores had to spin off its Gemco division in order to avoid hostile a takeover did the location close. Target bought up many of these former Gemcos, including the Duarte location. Unlike stores built by Target to be Target stores, the building features a blue-tiled facade, something typical of Gemco stores. Target's "official" color is red.
Walmart - the article refers to the beginning of redevelopment in Duarte. Walmart came well over a decade after the Gemco store, well after the car dealerships, well after the new town center, and therefore does not really represent the BEGINNING of redevelopment.
Someone needs to update the references to Santa Teresita--the hospital's been closed for years, so it can hardly be considered one of the finest in the area (not that it ever was, and this should never have been in the Wikipedia article to begin with.)4.232.186.161 06:02, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
Santa Teresita is NOT closed! Its Emergency Room is closed, but not the hospital as a whole. User:Udibi 06:23, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
I agree;the hospital isn't closed, but now the Carmelite Sisters have announced that the focus is now on outpatient care for the seniors of Duarte...and yet the public-relations "machine" here in town insists that we say and act as if the ER is still open...ridiculous!...thanks,Baldwin91006 02:47, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
