[edit] City Flag Image Needed
This article is in need of an image of the city flag for the infobox (ironically ;-) ... Dr. Cash 06:09, 26 December 2005 (UTC)
I asked the Mayor about this once in the mid to late 80's when it came up in conversation. I had noticed they didn't seem to have a city flag in City Hall at the time or on a flagpole. How could a town with a name like Flagstaff not have a city flag? He told me the official flag was the city seal on a white background. However he wasn't sure if the city currently owned any. It was not a high priority as special order flags would be to expensive to fly over city hall. SkyWayMan 08:08 21 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Most liberal city
I've removed the following unsourced line from the article:
"It is perhaps the most liberal city in Arizona."
While Arizona is largely a "red state" (republican), there are still lots of more liberal communities; Flagstaff, as well as Tucson, are among them. Saying that Flagstaff is the MOST LIBERAL CITY seems to violate WP:NPOV, unless a definitive reference or citation can be found from a repudable source (media, not blog).

- Agreed. I too was going to remove that line but I thought I would do a little research first as I seemed to vaguely recall hearing about some study that came to that conclusion. I didn't end up finding anything real reputable so it is best that the line is removed. --Nebular110 02:31, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Largest ponderosa pine forest in the world?
Does anyone know of a good reference for this statement? For years I've heard and read that Flagstaff is indeed located in the largest continuous stand of ponderosa pine in the world but I've also heard that the largest such stand in the world is located in Siberia. I've had difficulty finding a authoritative source for either one of these claims and I'm wondering if anyone else could offer some insight. --Nebular110 17:35, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
