Christina Lake town article needed
Hi someone; please see Talk:Christina Lake (British Columbia) re the need for a town article. I'm not equipped to do it and won't be around much longer (48 hrs tops again) to do it. Anyone who's been working on BC communities articles please take note and at least write a stub; Christina Lake, British Columbia is currently a redirect to the article on the lake; and there's probably stuff in the lake article that should be in the town article once it's created.Skookum1 21:40, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
- I can write the article this weekend. But don't we need an admin to delete the redirect? I'll ask at the helpdesk, if no one comes by here and gets it done by later tonight.CindyBotalk 21:51, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
- Looks like it was aka Cascade City, British Columbia?CindyBotalk 22:27, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
- Whoops, guess not. Though that obviously needs an article too.CindyBotalk 22:44, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
- From what I've heard, Cascade (here in the BC Geographical Names Information System) used to be a busy place, with several thousand of people living there at it's peak. It is is now covered up by a golf course (see ), and I've even read it being described as a ghost city (the pictures in a book I looked at showed a massive town layout). There is very little about this history online, so a public library will be helpful with this article. Here is a decent online source [1] for both Christina Lake and Cascade. +mt 00:05, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks for the coordinates, I have Bruce Ramsey's Ghost Towns of British Columbia and I found a couple of pages in it on Cascade City, I had no idea of its exact location. I'll add what I have on hand and go from there. I think we're missing a whole bunch of these Boundary/Kootenay ghost (and real) towns.CindyBotalk 00:21, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
