[edit] Musical Culture

I removed this section as it seems to not have an NPOV. If you put it back, please site sources to back your claim. --Zizzybaluba 18:29, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Changes

The I-480 freeway did not open until 1974. The Police Officer who was killed was Sargeant Dennis Glivar, it was not a hostage situation but a shootout where Glivar was shot in the hallway of an apartment building. Eight people -not nine-died on august 8th 1976 when a tractor trailer ran into and over seven cars on Granger Rd hill. randazzo56 02:29, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] History

I did some edits to the history section, working with an anonymous editor. I removed the potentially damaging/libelous statements. The whole section needs a good deal more citations. Cephyr 02:40, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

More comments were removed, along with some corrections to the terrible spelling. I believe a citation is needed for the article references in the history section (regarding the toxicity of the materials in the landfill site). I did read it myself recently, but I don't have specifics. I believe it was the January 10th issue of Scene, but can't back that up. Regardless, much of the 'venom' was edited out of the statements. I have indicated which comments require citation. anonymous 9:41, 5 February 2007—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 204.9.5.134 (talk • contribs) 2007-02-05T16:01:12.

Perhaps if you or a loved one contracted cancer as a result of the profiteering by Conte and Boyas you would know something more about "venom". What about the residents of South Granger Rd who were screwed by Snider Canada?—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 209.244.31.188 (talk • contribs) 2007-02-10T01:07:29.

Regardless of your take on the situation, Wikipedia demands what is called NPOV, or "neutral point-of-view" in all entries. This is simply not the place for what you're talking about. Please refrain from attacks and consider how best to report the truth in a way that can be verified and backed-up with reports, references and citations. And perhaps I or a loved one has personal experience of this situation - you really don't know. anonymous 3:25pm, 12 February 2007—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 204.9.5.186 (talk • contribs) 2007-02-12T21:23:23.

Does NPOV mean changing the truth into something less offensive? People are dying in Valley View and the Ohio E.P.A. (Inbread yokels from from Columbus [klum-bus]) who can easily be bought and sold dont give a shit. Why remain anonymouse? You are probably one of those assholes...—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 209.244.31.190 (talk • contribs) 2007-02-24T00:40:23.

What a delightful person you are. Such a pleasant nature, and exactly the reason why some people have to remain anonymous (note the correct spelling). Why would I open myself and my family up to personal attacks from people like you? Really, there's no point. Perhaps you would be better off helping the people who are being affected by the situation instead of ranting in a barely coherent manner on this page. As for NPOV, it is the policy on Wikipedia to report factual information, and to back up all contributions with sources. Wikipedia is not a place for the rambling low-brow hatred that you seem to be sweating off, so try to be constructive whenever possible. 204.9.5.171 18:45, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Get it Straight

How many vehicles went over the side of the bridge? When did a semi dangle from the side? randazzo56 02:27, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

The dangling semi occured in 1997, The driver, an Elyrian Woman, was unhurt but she shit her pants.......

[edit] The Other Day

Me and several freinds went to City-view. The smell was overpowering, (in March, wait until summer) In little time we all developed severe headaches. You dont think this is serious? What about those million dollar bridges over the canal that few actually use? Someone made a fortune...Kaltenborn

who made a fortune? Longo who?

[edit] what a terrible display

This article has underwent some terrible changes. What's up with the atrocious grammatical errors? What a shame for Garfield Heights. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.43.182.85 (talk) 19:27, 25 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Literacy

[edit] Add-A-Boy

You guys are doing swell job. Kaltenborn (talk)
