Naming[edit]

Where is the citation to substantiate the naming of Addison after Joseph Addison? Streetwise Chicago says Addison Street was named after Doctor Thomas Addison (who discovered the disease now named after him, Addison's Disease). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.228.4.28 (talk) 19:37, 28 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Population?[edit]

The text says Addison's population is 36,000. The info box says 100,000. The first number is accurate, I believe. Is the second number vandalism?Tishbite37 (talk) 16:36, 5 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Vandalism Again[edit]

Someone has added approximately 100,000 extra people to the figures. The population is about 36,000 not 136,000! Tishbite37 (talk) 10:35, 8 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I changed the population figures from 136,000 to 36,000.Tishbite37 (talk) 01:35, 18 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
