Greensboro is a Town

Regardless of the foolishness & ineptitude of the Georgia Legislature many years ago, common sense tells us that Greensboro is a TOWN. Greensboro is a small place with a small population, and a genuine city should have a population of at least 60,000 people. (In some countries, the legal standard is 100,000 people, such as in Germany.)

There is no reason for us to perpetuate the foolishness of others when common sense tells us otherwise.

Examples of genuine cities are Atlanta, Augusta, Asheville, Birmingham, Charleston, Charlotte, Columbia, Columbus (Ga., Miss., or Ohio), Denver, Ft. Worth, Greensboro, North Carolina, Houston, Indianapolis, Jacksonville (Fla.), Jackson (Miss.), Knoxville, Los Angeles, Louisville, Macon (Ga.), Memphis, Montgomery, Mobile, Nashville, Norfolk, New York City, Orlando, Philadelphia, Raleigh, Richmond, Roanoke (Va.), Savannah, Spartanburg, Tallahasses, Tampa, Virginia Beach, Winston-Salem, and Washington, D.C.

It is specious and foolish to call these places in Georgia "cities": Americus, Bainbridge, Cartersville, Cordelle, Dalton, Dublin, Ft. Valley, Greensboro, Jackson, Jefferson, Louisville, Madison, Milledgeville, Roswell, Statesboro, Tifton, Valdosta, Vienna, Washington, and hundreds of others. It is simply grating to the mind, and to common sense, to do so. 98.81.8.152 (talk) 17:49, 10 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Notable People: Danny Roland

I'm not sure if Danny Roland qualifies as Notable, but I did some research about him earlier, and wanted to mention my findings here. He was mentioned in 3 articles I found in a major newspaper in Atlanta, Georgia, in the 1950s/1960s. I'm not sure that constitutes Notability but here are those articles, along with a link to his Obituary which tells a little more about him, if anyone wanted to take this ball and run with it to do more research.

The Atlanta Constitution, Atlanta GA, Sat Jan 7, 1961, Page 13, Article from The Atlanta Constitution called "Record Roundup: 'Rock' Is No Longer But Elvis Is Better", which mentions Danny Roland, a music artist born in Union Point (in Greene County), Georgia, and his career with his latest music releases "Shock Wave" and "This Is My Love". https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-atlanta-constitution-danny-roland/136669034/
The Atlanta Journal, Atlanta GA, Sat Jan 7, 1961, Page 10, Article from The Atlanta Journal called "Singing Gas Man: Atlantan May Be Another Presley", which mentions Danny Roland, a music artist born in Union Point (in Greene County), Georgia, and his career with his latest music releases "This Is My Love" and "Shockwave". https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-atlanta-journal-danny-roland-of-unio/136685297/
The Atlanta Constitution, Atlanta GA, Sat March 5, 1960, Page 11, Article from The Atlanta Constitution called "Record Roundup: Atlanta Lawyer's Tune Likely To Become a National Hit Disc", which mentions Danny Roland, a music artist born in Union Point (in Greene County), Georgia, and his career with his latest music release "A Perfect Love". https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-atlanta-constitution-danny-roland/136685394/
Obituary for Daniel "Danny" Thomas Roland, born April 25, 1937, grew up in Union Point (Greene County), Georgia, died November 8, 2023 at Age 86. Obituary mentions that Danny Roland was a music artist who signed with Bayou Records in 1959 and recorded “Gonna Tell You Baby” and “You” on J.C.D. records and “Little Angel” and “School Boy” on North Records. Obituary also mentions other information about Danny Roland's music career, and that he appeared on a tv show once to perform. https://www.mccommonsfuneralhome.com/obituary/DanielDanny-Roland

Notable People: Louisa Mae Alcott

Louisa Mae Alcott (author) is mentioned in the book "HISTORY OF GREENE COUNTY GEORGIA 1786 - 1886" by Thaddeus Brockett Rice. The book said she was a teacher in Greensboro, Georgia. "The Greensboro Female Academy was established in 1852 by the Ga. Synod of the Presbyterian Church. (Jan. 2, 1852) They had some teachers from the east and north. They were Louisa Mae Alcott, author of "Little Women"[...]". I do not know if Louisa Mae Alcott is Notable enough, but I leave this note here for others interested in future research. https://archive.org/stream/historyofgreenec00rice/historyofgreenec00rice_djvu.txt Fallendarlin (talk) 06:43, 12 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
