Talk:Pacoima, Los Angeles

Comment

I will admit to being a sceptic, so I fact-checked the crime graf. Only a moment with Google brought up this and other accounts. I post it here in case future editors doubt the veracity of the interrogation. -Willmcw 08:55, 13 Dec 2004 (UTC)

"Drive-by Shooting Kills Pacoima Man" http://www.lapdonline.org/press_releases/2002/09/pr02502.htm LOS ANGELES POLICE DEPARTMENT PRESS RELEASE Friday, September 6, 2002 Los Angeles: On Thursday, September 5, 2002, at approximately 10:45 p.m., Foothill Area patrol officers responded to a "shots fired" radio call in the 13400 block of Van Nuys Boulevard in Pacoima. Upon arrival, the officers discovered a shooting victim, Silverio Luna, a 22 year-old resident of Pacoima. Witnesses at the scene said that an unknown type grey vehicle pulled up adjacent to Luna, who was a pedestrian on the sidewalk. The front passenger said "Where you from?" and as Luna began to respond, a shot was fired from the car. Luna, struck in the head, fell to the sidewalk. The suspects fled the scene and have not been identified.

Good morning, Pacoima!

Almost every morning when I'm listening to the traffic reports on KNX (AM), the helicopter reporter covering the 5 over Pacoima says, in a very enthusiastic way, "Good morning, Pacoima!" The consistent way he says it led me to think it was a quotation or allusion (a line from a movie or something), but I can't find the phrase on Google. Any ideas? Am I smoking crack? -- Coneslayer 15:38, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

Perhaps it is an allusion to Good Morning, Vietnam. -- Beland 20:06, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

San Fernando High School

The school lists its address as 11133 O'Melveny Ave, San Fernando, CA 91340. As such, it is not in Pacoima. Thanks Imveracious (talk) 15:22, 27 April 2014 (UTC)

Pr.

Fine article.

But I am saying this for the nth time: Often I come to Wikipedia to find out the answer to a specific Q. In a spectacular percentage of those cases it fails. Today was no exception.

I'm listening to my Ritchie Valens recording right now. I consulted this article to ascertain the pronunciation of the name of this city, and came away empty-handed.

Add it.

I suppose it might also be a good idea for me to find out how to suggest, at the Wiki policy level, that publication of any article about an entity with a proper name should be blocked until its pronunciation is provided.

@Jimlue: You must have mistaken this for a KFC drivethru. We are all volunteers, so please don't tell anyone here to do anything. You want it? "Add it" yourself. Magnolia677 (talk) 18:44, 18 October 2020 (UTC)
