[edit] Alkaline Trio song
Why'd the title "Fuck You Aurora" get cut? Just because it's vulgar? I think if somebody was curious, they might like to know *which* Alkaline Trio song references Aurora?
[edit] Centralia?
The article states that Centralia, Illinois is also in four counties. The article there only lists two (Marion and Clinton), though Mapquest appears to show a section also in Washington County. The only possible fourth county would be Jefferson, but at least on the map it looks like the southern end of Centralia ends at the county line. Anbyone know anything about this?
- The State of Illinois gives sales tax rates for Centralia in each of the four counties listed above: Marion, Clinton, Washington and Jefferson. --JohnDBuell 12:49, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Templates
Good lord, do we NEED three large templates at the end of the article? --JohnDBuell 22:36, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
- We certainly don't need the DuPage template, since 77% of the population lives in Kane. 68.218.142.136 03:16, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Four Counties
I'd like to see a historical explanation. Aurora was originally only in Kane County, and during the late 60s I believe expanded, but not to DuPage first. How did this happen, and what is the relationship like between the city and the various counties?
- I'm not sure that's accurate. I've been trying to see if there's something online, but there isn't really. However, I've always been told Aurora spread into DuPage County in the late 1960s/early 1970s (and when Fox Valley Mall was first proposed, the Aurora/Naperville boundary was set at Route 59, where it more or less remains), then Will (stretching down Eola Road), then Kendall (expanding southwest along Ogden). Part of this can be inferred from the map of City Wards, but I still need independent verification. --JohnDBuell 04:17, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Notable residents
I see three people that have red names in this area. Unless they have Wiki entries, I suggest deleting them. Personally, I have no idea who they are. I got by the saying "If they are notable, they would have a wiki entry". So the suggestion is we either delete them, or create entries on them.--Kranar drogin 05:02, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
