[edit] Cotton Club

I removed the line that said, "...nightclubs such as the Cotton Club lined Washington Boulevard," shortening it to omit mention of the Cotton Club. As it was, it implied that the Cotton Club was in Culver City, not Harlem.

That was not just an implication, it was an assertion. The Cotton Club had a West Coast branch. -Willmcw 20:34, 21 September 2005 (UTC)

the first picture looks stupid

Hmm. Can you make a better for us? -Willmcw 00:34, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Culver City: Santa Monica Freeway

This is totally unrelated to the first reply, but it has to do with Culver City. The article on Wikipedia says Culver City is served by the Marina Freeway, the 405, and the 10. The 10 doesn't actually go withing the Culver Citl Limits.

Your objection is technically true, but it's rather difficult to go south from the Robertson Boulevard exit on I-10 without driving through Culver City at least for a short distance before reentering the city of Los Angeles. Yes, one could avoid Culver City by going the back way around Cattaraugus, but most people don't bother (if they were going in that direction, they would have gotten off at La Cienega). So I-10 does serve Culver City even if it doesn't directly touch it. --Coolcaesar 05:32, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
I agree. Likewise, LAX serves CC though outside the boundaries. -Willmcw 07:17, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Hughes was never in Culver City

The Hughes Aircraft facilities and HQ were all in Westchester, not Culver City. What are now the Howard Hughes Center and Playa Vista are clearly within the Los Angeles city limits.--69.226.16.146 08:42, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

Wasn't the Hughes Helicopter facility, just northeast of the intesection of Washington Blvd, and Lincoln Blvd., in Culver City? -Will Beback 20:56, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
I'm finding numerouis references to Hughes' CC facilities. [1][2][3]. Of course some may be confused about geography, and just because a location is called "CC" doesmn't mean it's acutally within the city limits. -Will Beback 21:06, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

If Hughes Heli was NE of Wash and Lincoln, that would be the current Costco Location, and that is the westernmost piece of CC.

Give me a break. Hughes Aircraft facilities were most definitely in Culver City. I lived in Culver City as a kid, just off the airport runway for that company. The planes flying in to the facility would zoom overhead everyday, 24/7. Case closed. -- —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.45.194.215 (talk • contribs) 21:22, August 9, 2007 (UTC)

Hughes aircraft (current Playa Vista) is in LA. Check the map. I live in LA in a Culver City zip code. Confusion is common, even among residents. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.183.37.240 (talk • contribs) 15:11, August 24, 2007 (UTC)

Hughes Helicopter was in Culver City, in a factory at the site where Costo is currently (Washington Blvd, a block east of Lincoln.) Prior to that, they were located in one of the buildings at the air field (which is in Westchester.) HH was a customer of my employer in the late 70's - early 80's and I visited their site frequently. 76.90.27.5 20:10, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Shape

Why is Culver City such a weird shape? http://gaea.culvercity.org/imf/imf.jsp?site=GenCity Jeremymiles 16:49, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

The city was formed with land leftover from annexations to the city of Los Angeles. Culver City also grew by annexation, and the odd-shaped piece of land stretching down Washington Blvd was annexed because of its thriving businesses (cities in California derive most of their income from sales taxes). There's a good history of the annexations here.[4] Perhaps, since you're interested, you could add a paragraph on the topic to the article? ·:· Will Beback ·:· 20:37, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
Living adjacent to it I could never figure out why CC cruisers (patrol cars) were in what I thought was Mar Vista or Marina del Rey. Now I know. Must be tough to patrol. Looks like CC starts and ends and starts again down Washington Blvd. BingoDingo 07:12, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Heart of Screenland (neutrality)

Does anyone know why this is flagged? I don't seen any inaccuracies there, but I may not be familiar enough with CC to know. Thanks. BingoDingo 07:12, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

Not much wrong with it. Might need some sourcing, but the facts themselves are presented in a straightforward, if somewhat fawning, manner. Nobody has explained this on the talk page yet. I removed the flag. GeorgeLouis (talk) 04:56, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Da frick?

Why's it "Culver City, California" and not just "Culver City"? Unless there is another Culver City article on Wikipedia, there's no need to list the state in the title. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.140.218.179 (talk) 22:40, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
