Carl Pohlad lives in Edina?

Source? All the sources I've seen say he lives in Minneapolis. Pfalstad 01:30, 26 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, so a lot of the sources cite him living in Minneapolis, MN, because a lot of people know were Minneapolis is as opposed to Edina. Here is the source i have, and i am going to add Richard Schulze (Best Buy owner) to the list as well. [1].--Geppy 04:53, 27 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

But that source also says that Carl lives in Minneapolis. Pfalstad 16:13, 27 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Wow, you must have read my mind, you already added Richard pfalstad!! I guass i should check the article page before the talk page.--Geppy 04:56, 27 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The source you quoted says: "Pohlad is 88 widowed, and lists Minneapolis as his home." Not Edina. Pfalstad 22:21, 7 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Carl Pohlad most certainly lives in Edina. I'm currently sitting in my house about a mile away and can drive over and take a snapshot of his house (his new one and even his old one across the street) if you would like. His son and their family are members of my church. --BenFranske 01:37, 25 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

We need a source. I don't think taking a picture of his house would help. Pfalstad 03:08, 25 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

How about a picture of him standing infront of his house? :)--Gephart 05:42, 25 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

That would do it. No, he would have to be holding a sign saying "this is my house". :) Actually I found a source that he lives in Edina, or he did in 1997: [2] [3] Pfalstad 18:12, 25 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thank goodness for political campaign contributions! I found site with Federal Elections Commission disclosure forms where he lists Edina as his home address for 2004, 2005 and 2006. See the entire list or most recent filing. --BenFranske 01:30, 26 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Clean Up

All that needs to be cleaned up is the history and naming of Edina. I have copy edited the rest of the article. I will get to these eventually, but i can do no more at this moment. So anyone looking at the tag and wondering what they can do, you can work on those sections, because the rest of pretty much already done. LETS MAKE THIS ARTICLE BETTER THAN THE St. Louis Park ARTICLE PEOPLE!! Thankszoreos.--Geppy 23:14, 3 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Removed image, map on Minnesota with dot representing Edina, MNMap-doton-Edina.png --Geppy 00:19, 4 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

ALMOST DONE!! All i have left to do is the history section, rewrite the first paragraph and proof read. Then the clean up tag can be removed.--Geppy 08:48, 6 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

CLEAN-UP FINISHED.--Geppy 02:23, 7 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Techpower in Edina?

Is Techpower a major employer in Edina? They may have moved but on their website the address is James Ave. in Bloomington. --BenFranske 01:52, 26 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I couldnt find anything that said they lived in Edina either (including their website). It was part of an old list that was on prior to me cleaning up the article. I say we go ahead and remove it if their website says Bloomington.--Gephart 05:30, 26 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Edinans(Cake Eaters)?

What is someone that is from Edina called? Edinan? Edinite? Does anyone know? Deyyaz ^{[ Talk | Contribs ]} 03:28, 28 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

An Edina Resident.--Gephart 13:17, 28 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the quick response.Deyyaz ^{[ Talk | Contribs ]} 02:11, 29 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

If you were looking for the colloquial terms, the Edina residents are called Edinaians, or, more pejoratively, Cake Eaters. Blingice 18:33, 28 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

theyre called cake eaters

theyre called Ediners
