Talk:Elgin, Illinois

[edit] Population

Can someone present a source showing Elgin's population exceeded 100,000 in 2005? The American Community Survey estimate for 2005 shows 93,412, which is likely incorrect. However, there shouldn't be unsubstantiated population information in the article (I'm referring to paragraph two).

See [1]. The Census Bureau's 2003 estimate was 97,117. I don't think there is any information for this year or last year, but if the pop. grew 2.8% from 2003, it would be ~99,836 some time in 2006.

Wasn't he from South Elgin (but an EHS grad)?

From what I understand he grew up in S Elgin but now lives in Elgin.
