Talk:Vandalia, Ohio

Suburb and city?

The definitions of suburb don't seem to make it possible for something be both a suburb and a city. The ref provided by Nyttend clearly shows that the US census 2000 indicate it to be a city. Can someone find a ref that shows that a place can be both at once? -- Jeandré, 2007-09-13t19:26z

In the State of Ohio, where Vandalia is located, any incorporated community with a population over 5000 is considered a city by the state government. Vandalia is bordered by the much larger city of Dayton, Ohio and is thus considered a suburb. It is included in the Dayton Metropolitan Statistical Area. The state does not have an official term 'suburb', nearly all of Dayton's suburbs are "cities" according to Ohio state law. It is referred to as a suburb here, and here (a regional government agency), as well as many other legitimate web sources. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Prinzwilhelm (talk • contribs) 19:46, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

My Changes

So I thought some of the stuff on this page looked strange, and I followed the references links to find out more. It turns out the edits by 66.213.25.12 on 16 November 2008 were all completely wrong, although references were provided, which made them look legitimate. The population actually went down after the 2000 census, and did not triple as was written before. The other changes made were all non-NPOV and not grammatically correct. I've removed what 66.213.25.12 changed during that edit. --Muéro^(talk/c) 01:45, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

Tallest buildings

I saw some added info about tall buildings, which I thought was pretty interesting. I decided to confirm the info, but it turns out the info added here is wrong. So I'm moving it here until someone can find good sources and make sure it's correct. Have a nice day. —Muéro^(talk/c) 22:51, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

Tallest Structure

Currently, the tallest structure in Vandalia is the newly built Dayton International Airport Commercial Air Traffic Tower, built in 2009, which stands at approximately 210 feet tall. This structure, however, will soon be beat out by the Wright Brother's Monument which is expected to stand at 250 feet tall. The DIAAT Tower, however, will still remain the tallest habitable structure in Vandalia. The tallest church in Vandalia is St. Chris which stands about 80 feet in the air. The tallest hotel in Vandalia is the Drury on Benchwood which stands at 105 feet in the air.

refs for notable natives

Two of the refs are to wikipedia itself (seems like a hassle to verify claims), and one person is missing a ref - i'd fix this but don't have the skill Kap 7 (talk) 14:34, 28 March 2013 (UTC)
