[edit] Movies
Shouldn't there be a separate section for movies given the number that are filmed here? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.30.71.119 (talk • contribs) 21:42, November 20, 2005 (UTC)
- This has been done. Katr67 00:50, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] History
It seems odd that the "history" of Astoria should start with the arrival of "white people". The Clatsop and Chinook Native Americans where there long before any "other" peoples. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 81.34.104.165 (talk • contribs) 08:01, May 8, 2006 (UTC)
Agreed, particularly as the fort played such a decisive role in the conquest of Indian lands in the 19th century. 220.101.180.21 11:35, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Sister city
Astoria has a sister city in Germany! Here's the source: [1] —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Ajbenj (talk • contribs) 3:27, May 12, 2006 (UTC)
[edit] More stuff
Can we add intersting tid bits to Astoria. This place is chock full of stuff for such a small time. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Thisuser (talk • contribs) 3:37, May 30, 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Education
This section was marked as needing cleanup. I made some changes and removed the cleanup tag. I'm new to all of this, so please let me know if I shouldn't have done that. ColinLittle 09:31, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
- No, that looks great, thanks! That section was added by someone who said it was for a college assignment but I was too lazy to actually fix it myself so I just slapped a cleanup tag on it. I did wikilink a couple things--the school districts and high schools generally all get linked. Katr67 15:05, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
- Perhaps add Clatsop Community College? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.30.74.242 (talk) 06:47, 23 February 2007 (UTC).
[edit] Problems
The following section has some structural problems:
The fort and fur trade was sold to the British in 1813, and house was restored to the U.S. in 1818, control of the fur trade would remain under the British until American pioneers following the Oregon Trail began filtering into the port town in the mid-1840's.

[edit] Fort Clatsop
Fort Clatsop is no longer a national monument. It is now contained within the Lewis and Clark National Historical Park, created in 2004.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Billhe00 (talk • contribs) 07:32, February 3, 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Irving
Shouldn't mention be made of Washington Irving's Astoria, the book that not only documents the early settlement but also I think gave it its name? Shouldn't there be a link to Irving's page? Isn't this more important than TMT II and Free Willy? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 125.63.137.225 (talk • contribs) 10:43, March 12, 2007 (UTC)
