[edit] Legend?
Isn't it a bit contrived to have an article about Sleepy Hollow with NO mention of "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow"? I get that the town is more than just the story, but geez, that's what people are going to be looking for when they come to this article. The way it is now, they're left thinking "Well, is this the right Sleepy Hollow?" Applejuicefool 13:54, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
- OK, I added a brief but prominent mention of the legend. Applejuicefool 13:58, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] historic buildings that belong in other towns???
Someone needs to clear up 2 of the 3 historic buildings. I added links which illustrate my confusion:
- Van Cortlandt Manor seems to be in the village of Croton-on-Hudson within the Town of Cortlandt.
- The Sunnyside (Tarrytown, New York) page indicates Sunnyside is in Tarrytown and not Sleepy Hollow.
I grew up in Tarrytown, but it's been years since I've been back. I seem to recall, though, that Sunnyside was in what is now called Sleepy Hollow. If that's the case, then the Sunnyside page should be fixed.
I remember Van Cortlandt Manor being close by, but being in Cortlandt rather than either Sleepy Hollow or Yorktown - which also claims it here at wikipedia - looks right to me. I really don't remember which of the 3 towns it is in fact located in.Peter (talk) 00:28, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
- Follow-up to above. I have checked the Historic Hudson Valley pages on both of these and their National Register and National Park pages, too. Van Cortlandt Manor is in Cortlandt, and Sunnyside is in Tarrytown. Therefore, I am removing them from the Sleepy Hollow page, and will make certain they are both referenced in the towns where they are actually located.Peter (talk) 00:37, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Notable Residents
The only listings in the "Notable Residents" section were Aaron Copeland and Joe Queenan. It turns out that Copeland lived in Ossning and Cortlandt, and that Queenan lives in Tarrytown - so I removed both, and commented out the section.
Anyone who knows of notable residents of Sleepy Hollow should re-instate the section title and add the names -- with citations, please. Ed Fitzgerald (unfutz) (talk / cont) 06:49, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
