Deleted "Arguably, the most famous person to come from the project was baseball superstar Kirby Puckett (1960-2006), who played with the American League's Minnesota Twins from 1984 to 1996." ... a rather fuzzy statement, and Mr. T took Conan O'Brien to the site of his former home in the Taylor projects.

[edit] Problems with History Section
There are some major problems with the history section of this article. The main issue is tense; the section refers to the "prime years" in the present tense, even though that was a long time ago. It references "a recent weekend" but when was that? There are no citations for any of this information, and most of it is clearly copied from the "www.findarticles.com" link listed at the bottom of the page. Also, there are many grammatical and continuity problems.
- The section reads like an essay as well, which isn't really appropriate. Natalie 23:50, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Copyright Violation?
The latest edit seems to add a significant amount of text directly from the CNN article posted yesterday: http://www.cnn.com/2006/US/10/08/taylor.homes.ap/index.html
Article reverted to previous revision. Msolson 21:12, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Quality
There's a lot of rumour in this article. Maybe it should be put on some solid ground and be partly rewritten
