[edit] The Leftovers

It's popular urban legend in the area the El Sobrante is Spanish for "The leftovers." Can someone substantiate this, and perhaps this is worthy of inclusion in this entry as it's popular local lore.

ANSWER: SOBRANTE = SURPLUS

[edit] Judy Malloy is not a vanity entry

Fizbin, I don't understand your reverting Judy Malloy's inclusion of her own name. I don't see it as simply a vanity entry due to her pioneering achievements in arts and science. How would these achievements count less than a comic book artist? Binksternet 13:10, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

First and foremost, it is a vanity entry because she has been adding the link herself. Also, the contributions to the underground comics movements by artist Joel Beck are a reflection upon the city because he spent his formative years in the town. Judy Malloy may live in El Sobrante NOW. But she does not appear to be FROM El Sobrante. People move all the time. It might be appropriate to list her current location on her own page, but it does not seem appropriate to list it here.Theplanetsaturn 21:24, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
While TheplanetSaturn was posting the above I was editing the entry to get rid of the linkspam. It is still very marginal in my opinion.--Fizbin 21:27, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
