First U.S. flag

What other localities claim to have raised the first US flag? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.209.227.53 (talk • contribs) 23:45, May 26, 2006

Well, the flag that was raised on Prospect Hill used the Union Jack where we now use stars. I assume that another community can claim "first flag" by right of having a later version (with the 13 stars), or even a previous version (not sure what that would look like).

Additional photo suggestions

More photos of the Union Square area would be nice, in addition to the monument photo that's already there. Tim Pierce 17:53, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

Stores

I believe International Market is Salvadorian, while the other Indian market is called "Little India." Can someone in Union check on those facts? maxsch 02:14, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

Yes, International is Salvadorian. Aromanos (talk) 14:41, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

Merge with Union Square Main Streets

I disagree with the idea of merging the two pages. Union Square is a specific place whereas; Union Square Main Streets is an organization. --66.228.88.2 (talk) 12:17, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

I don't know how long ago the merger was suggested, but I agree. Urge Merge -kslays 17:03, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

I disagree, Union Square is a place, Union Square Main Streets is an organization. It seems a little devious to subjugate either one to the other. maxsch (talk) 20:12, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

I also disagree. Union Square Main Streets is an important organization to Union Square, and is uniquely focused on the square. —Preceding unsigned comment added by FatCity (talk • contribs) 23:05, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
