Prison Break filming location

Were the Tooele episodes actually filmed in the town? — EagleOne\Talk 01:36, 25 September 2006 (UTC)Reply

No, the scenes in Prison Break were not actually filmed on location. The rapid growth of Tooele was accurately portrayed by the scenes showing newly developed neighborhoods bordering farmland. --tslack2000 13:24, 11 November 2006 (UTC)Reply

Tooele, UT and Tooele Army Depot (TEAD) were part of a comedy movie

What was the name of the movie which included a stolen tank and a few chemically affected characters to rob the Tooele Bank? I think this is an interesting part of the history and portrays some of what was happening at the time. Unfortunately, I cannot remember the name.

pronunciation

The article says Tooele is pronounced /tˈwɪlə/, but a resident of the city in 1960[1] pronounced it /ˈtwɪlə/.—msh21011:31, 21 October 2022 (UTC)Reply

I've heard that too. The first vowel is often a schwa, and it's pretty predictable that some people would run the first two syllables together like that. Also, some people pronounce the stressed vowel as /ɛ/. Ntsimp (talk) 10:14, 22 October 2022 (UTC)Reply
