[edit] More POV
Congrats, trailer rats. Your decision to censor information on the Penthouse Pet did the opposite of create a neutral POV. That 'lude vacuum made Britney Spears look like a D.A.R.E. instructor, and you glorify her memory on Wikipedia so you can claim to have something other than meth addicts and welfare moms in Morganton. Hopefully one of the local Klansmen will become Grand Wizard so you can list him on the "famous residents" page, too.

[edit] Chemical plant explosion?
I've got reports of a chemical plant explosion in the past few minutes. Can't find a source, but if you have one, it's article updating time. Thanks! --bbatsell | « give me a ring » 19:03, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Jules Verne Novel
Morganton is the setting for the Jules Verne novel "Master of the World." This is something that the town has never really acknowledged even though the book serves as an excellent 19th century description of the town when it was visited by the famous french novelist. As a resident of Morganton, I think this is something that has gone unrecognized for too long.
-Patrick Leger
In the Verne novel Morganton is the starting point of a number of sightings of the great machine that can travel four different ways (air, above water, below water, and land). The machine is first spotted over a mountain referred to as "Erie(sp?)" in Morganton. The mountain is described as a flat-topped mountain and is to most Morgantonians a description of Table Rock.

[edit] Glorified
This article glorifies the city and only desribes places around it in the main page. I made a few changes to it to try and make it less biased but there is still alot of work that needs to be done on it. 70.148.69.92 21:02, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Nearby Cities
Is it wholly necessary to list San Francisco on the Nearby Cities bit? 71.70.239.4 (talk) 02:49, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
