Regarding the Presidential Election sentence needing a citation, I might argue that it's not even true. According to the Atlas of US Presidential Elections the county voted for Bush 52.1% vs Kerry 46.8%. Granted, this is the county. Jachim69 03:20, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Local Economy

I was wondering if there should be any reference to local business of note. An example would be Uniquely Yours Pastry Shoppe LLP, http://uypastry.com/index.html, a pastry shop that is locally owned and opperated, they place an emphasis on using natural ingridiants when ever possible and avoid mixes as they are a from scratch only backery. 68.59.231.93 18:54, 29 August 2006 (UTC)Keeping it Real

Businesses worth mentioning would be The Manitowoc Company http://www.manitowoc.com (including Manitowoc Cranes), Burger Boat Company http://www.burgerboat.com (dating back to 1846), Natural Ovens http://www.naturalovens.com, Beerntsens http://www.beerntsens.com (also a point of interest), Courthouse Pub http://www.courthousepub.com.

[edit] Politics

I think Manitowoc's "political status" as liberal, moderate, or whatever is difficult to establish, and the best way to discuss it in an encyclopedic way is simply to state the current mayor, board, etc. (is the school council partisan??). Also, the fact that the city council includes one woman and one college student doesn't merit mention in an encyclopedia article on the city, IMO. --mtz206 21:32, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Points of Interest

Can we add Pinecrest Historical Village / Manitowoc County Heritage Center? http://www.mchistsoc.org

Also, the Manitowoc County Courthouse. They are in the process of raising money to restore the original glass cupola. The Courthouse and 8th Street are on the Register of Historic Places.

There is a very short street in Manitowoc named "Easy Street", if this is worthy of mention at all. 209.103.228.119 03:45, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

I strongly oppose adding that tidbit of trivia - too trivial. Royalbroil T : C 05:37, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Revision

Can someone please clean up the revision I made? It was my first time doing an information box and it came up very unclean, also the images I uploaded from www.manitowoc.org, for the city flag and seal never uploaded. --Nkreindl271 11:23, 27 April 2006 (UTC)


Whomever removed the skunky hallow reference from the city nicknames, I am unsure as to why you did, it is well known that Manitowoc is skunky hallow, while Two Rivers is Carptown.

[edit] Images

I'm sorry, but this image Image:USRoute151EastTerminus.jpg really doesn't add much to the article. It is of a street, and not even a particularly interesting one. It, combined with this not-very-attractive photo of downtown Image:ManitowocWisconsin.jpg, detract from the "image" of Manitowoc, IMO. I'd suggest their removal. A much better downtown image would be of the Capital Civic Center or Beernstein's. Alas, I'm far from Mtwc, so I can't take them myself. ZimZalaBim (talk) 20:55, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Mayor link on right info panel

The link for Mayor Kevin Crawford in the right info panel goes to Kevin Crawford, which is not the same person. Perhaps the mayor can be linked as Kevin M. Crawford?

Done. (Feel free to be bold and edit it yourself in the future). -ZimZalaBim (talk) 06:53, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image problems

Could someone please tidy up the photos and information that I posted? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Nkreindl27 (talk • contribs).

I just came here to see if anyone had noticed the display problems. I will fix them! Royalbroil T : C 04:06, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Religion

What is the reason for the inclusion of Father Felton's photo? I propose that it be deleted, or a photo of all other religious leaders in the community be included. I have not seen a religious leader's photo in any other city/community article. LorenzoB 12:05, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

I agree. It seems out of place, and it has been vandalized too. Royalbroil T : C 14:22, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
