This is possibly the least informative and interesting article I have ever read on Walhalla. The history of Walhalla is so much more rich and diverse.

There is far to much information about the Railroad and earthquakes (which are practically non-existant).

There is no mention of the historic culture of the town - the old opera house, college, ect...

Additionally, the information about how the town was settled is inaccurate. There is no mention of the German Colonization Society or John Wagner or any of the other trustees of the Society which actually lead to the larger settlement of Germans to the area.

The information about Southern Baptists and the Oktoberfest are inaccurate and misleading. The Oktoberfest is extremely popular with people of all religions, especially, the local baptist community.

It's sad to see an article about a beautiful town with many interesting historical points turned into an article about railroads, planned buildings, and non-existant earthquakes. Sadly, the use of "folks," poor attempts at distasteful humor and poor spelling, grammar and punctuation have made this vibrant town seem dull. 76.105.150.19 07:44, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I tried to strip the article of all that railroad stuff, bad facts, and bad grammar. I also added a couple of references to give the hint that people NEED TO CITE information.

What people should do now is to write a history section filled with how Walhalla was settled and why. They should also add sections for cultural activities like the Oktoberfest. That should help reflect the true charm of this tiny town.
