Talk:Sugar Land, Texas/Archive 1
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
rv nonsense, huh? That's hilarious :) How about actually reading what it says, instead of having a kneejerk reaction? Since when did the Texas Sesquicentennial celebrate NASA's 25th anniversary? Since UH Collegian said so? Here's a clue: sesqui means 3/2s, and centennial means 100 years. Combine them to get 150 years--as in the 150th anniversary of the Republic of Texas. IceKarma should've "rv nonsense"d 3 months ago--208.180.124.100 06:24, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
- Well, okay, but your "etymology" was nonsense on top of other nonsense, and I didn't get around to figuring out who laid the lowest layer thereof before you did. I do know what it means, too, in spite of a math teacher who was convinced that "sesqui" itself meant "150 years" (argh!). Thanks for finding the relevant change for me, but next time perhaps consider repairing it yourself? ;) IceKarmaॐ 07:49, 22 September 2005 (UTC)

Money magazine update - Sugar Land is ranked 46th in the nation this year for best places to live, not 17th. It was just released - http://money.cnn.com/best/bplive/snapshots/48166.html
Plus, I think 17th was not entirely true. I believe that was for cities of a certain size and/or in a certain region. I just checked http://money.cnn.com/best/bplive/cities_table/ It looks like it was 18th in "Western region, under 100,000 population" for 2004. 46th for the whole country, all sizes, is much more impressive anyway!
It might be a good idea to add updates on 2 things - #1 the plans to redevelop the Imperial property and #2 the expansion of the airport, which will be completed in a year. --swzine
I'm glad to see that this article is finally organized with a decent amount of uncluttered information!

The U.S. Census designation for the Houston Metropolitan Area is no longer
Houston—Galveston—Brazoria. The new designation is now Houston—Sugar Land—Baytown as of 2003. -- UH Collegian
I edited this statement:
"Sugar Land could quite possibly have the largest and most affluent Asian American community in Texas, and outside of California, the largest in the nation."
I deleted the last part because it was troubling. I don't know if the author meant to say either that Sugar Land has the largest and most affluent Asian-American community in the nation outside of California, or, as the syntax of the statement shows, if the author was insinuating that Sugar Land has the largest Asian-American community in the nation outside of California, which is clearly wrong. --Sidney135
