Is There A Need To Make The Museums A Separate Topic?[edit]

The fact that there were once two museums at Bandana Square, while notable, may simply merit mention in the main article as opposed to a separate section. Thoughts, anyone?TH1980 (talk) 01:19, 6 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Since there have been no objections raised regarding the merger of the two sections since I first raised the subject almost two years ago, I have proceeded to merge "Museums" with "History" for sake of a more uniform presentation.TH1980 (talk) 03:51, 10 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Massive Revamp From "Bandana Square" To "Northern Pacific Como Shops"?[edit]

There is more to the story of the Northern Pacific's Como Shops than just its current incarnation as Bandana Square. I think the article would be better off if it was expanded to include the time the shops were actively used by first the Northern Pacific and then the NP's successor, the Burlington Northern. This would, of course, entail the article be retitled "Northern Pacific Como Shops". Thoughts, anyone?TH1980 (talk) 02:46, 14 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Yo, anyone have an opinion?TH1980 (talk) 01:14, 23 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

On second thought, Bandana Square is notable enough to warrant its own page, but a section about the location once being the Northern Pacific's Como Shops would be very warranted too. Comments, anyone?TH1980 (talk) 03:57, 7 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Dividing The Article Into Two Sections[edit]

I propose that the article be divided into two sections as follows:

As Como Shops

As Bandana Square

The first section would provide a history of the place during its locomotive shops days, while the other would retain the text pertaining to its time as Bandana Square. Comments?TH1980 (talk) 04:05, 7 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Can we go with dividing the article into two sections? I cannot seem to get a discussion going so we can reach a consensus here.TH1980 (talk) 00:04, 21 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Photo Gallery Proposal[edit]

I have taken, oh, just a few photos of Bandana Square. Seriously, I could create a photo gallery of Bandana with all the pics I have on file, and so I propose a photo gallery be added below the main entry. Thoughts, anyone?TH1980 (talk) 05:24, 20 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I have posted three of my best Bandana Square pictures to the page.TH1980 (talk) 05:01, 4 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
