[edit] no original research

Coeur d'Alene is an up and coming area of northern Idaho. In the past year it has shown a 7.8% growth rate. It has an unemployment rate of only 2.9 %. The median home price is only $137,399 making it very affordable.

It has a world famous golf course with an island green that has made the cover of many golfing magazines and calendars. Coer d' Alene is a beauiful place to visit and a great place to live. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 4.232.39.246 (talk • contribs) 01:16, November 23, 2005 (UTC)

The above is a good example of content that should not appear in an article (should anyone be tempted to add such stuff.) Dxco 06:01, 9 January 2006 (UTC)
I agree. And that information must be out of date or something, because the average home cost is closer to 250,000, and while the town WAS very affordable to live in as long ago as five years ago, thats hardly the case anymore.--67.22.38.204 23:47, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

And I don't know how much people have "enjoyed" significant growth. There is more money, true, but that doesn't necessarily equate to a better quality of life overall.

[edit] charter academy

The Coeur d'Alene Charter Academy is a high school as well as a middle school. I should know, I go there. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Hattusa (talkcontribs) 05:51, October 18, 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Kelso Lake???

I don't think this picture should be on here. It has nothing to do with the city of Coeur d'Alene. I've got pictures of the city online on Picasa but I've collected a lot of them online...I didn't take them myself. What's the policy on adding pictures to a Wikipedia page? Also, there's several available at Coeur d'Alene's Chamber of Commerce website. We need to delete the Kelso one though; again, it has no relevance to this page.
