Of course, even after two reccomendations, they used that hook. Figures. BobAmnertiopsis _{ChitChat Me!} 21:52, 5 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"Ghetto in the Sky"? Why not - it seems apt. I want to know the outcome of the security upgrade - did it work? How many police calls last year? 69.140.94.158 (talk) 00:54, 6 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'd like to add a section to this article about Skyline Tower after the management company changed in 2000. It's now managed by a nonprofit that specializes specifically in affordable housing and there's been some pretty significant changes in security and maintenance of the building since then. I'd add a section about the switch and what it's done so far, changing the section currently entitled "Building" to "History" and moving the current content about the management shift to the new section along with some new information.

Sounds like a great idea. The article as is seems a little out of date. I noticed CommonBond refers to the building as "Skyline Tower".[1] Would it be best to rename the title to that? Eóin (talk) 16:17, 26 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That's how I've always heard it refered to and it looks like the promotional materials agree, but I'm pretty new at this editing process. Do you have to do anything special to change the name of an article? 206.145.184.49 (talk) 17:57, 26 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I just moved the page to the singular. Please do make the changes you suggested, they sound very good. Eóin (talk) 03:23, 27 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

CommonBond Communities article?

Should there be an article about CommonBond Communities that now manages this building? "We develop, own or manage over 5,700 affordable rental apartments and townhomes throughout 48 cities in Minnesota, Wisconsin and Iowa."
