Wondering how to edit this U.S. City Entry?
The WikiProject U.S. Cities standards might help.

The picture of downtown seems to be from before some of the redevelopment that is going on down there, I used to live in Mtz and left just before that started, but if memory serves, when i was there a couple years ago even, most of main street had been redone with angled parking and large planters and such.

Hello.....

5 of the most famous residents of this medium sized town off of 680 on the way to Vallejo (just before you hit the Benicia Bridge)...are all sports-related...

Joe DiMaggio (born there grew up in San Francisco) Norv Turner (San Diego Chargers Head Coach) Jim Turner (Chicago Bears offensive coordinator and Norv's brother) Stan Van Gundy (Alhambra High School Graduate and coach of the Orlando Magic (NBA) Jeff Van Gundy (former coach of the Houston Rockets/NBA and Stan's older brother also attended the same high school)...

So The Van Gundys and Turners grew up basically in the same town and at around the same time... I wonder if one set actually acknowledge the presence of the other set??

The external link to the "Alhambra Creek Beavers Video" is incorrect. I have contacted You Tube, 86.73.111.100, and the videographer in an effort to obtain the correct URL. Gtkysor 17:31, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Beavers

This section seems very biased to me. Thoughts?--Banana 18:19, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
