[edit] Weber Company
I'll have to double check but I'm pretty sure the Weber Grill company has moved all operations out to Huntley, IL. now. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 67.167.209.156 (talk • contribs) 12:08, August 15, 2006 (UTC)
They still have design and corporate facilities in Palatine. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Levinr (talk • contribs) 20:25, September 7, 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Etymology of Palatine
Is there documentary evidence that Palatine was named after Palatine, New York (which is said to be named after the Palatinate in the Rhineland), rather than County palatine in England, or Palatine Hill (one of the seven hills of Rome)? --Blainster 19:09, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
- As a resident of Palatine, I can verify that it is named after the Palatinate in Germany, not after Palatine, NY. Early settlers of Palatine were Germanic, along with many other areas in Illinois and Wisconsin. Not sure where the NY idea came from. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 208.179.109.36 (talk • contribs) 23:16, November 27, 2006 (UTC)
[edit] ethnic diversity??
I'm a white guy who lives in Palatine, and while I'm a fan of "ethnic diversity", I must say I got a chuckle out of reading here it is a characteristic of Palatine. At Palatine's "Street Fest", a free outdoor concert event weekend that draws many thousands, it's a struggle to find any ethnic diversity in the faces.
[edit] Harper College?
Isn't this in Palatine? This school is pretty well-regarded and deserves mention. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.136.204.139 (talk) 06:01, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Durty Nellies
Durty Nellies is a pretty well known restaurant/pub/music venue in Palatine. I know that the Jonas Brothers were there. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.209.57.234 (talk) 00:06, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] The Infobox
The Palatine page currently uses the Template:Geobox Settlement. However, many other pages listed in the Chicagoland Navigational Template use the Chicagoland Municipality template for the infobox, instead of using Geobox. See for example Addison, Arlington Heights, etc.
Does anyone object to using the Chicagoland Municipality template as the infobox? -Erasthamus (talk) 04:18, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
