I know the Manual of Style says that we shouldn't use coordinates defined to greater than four decimal places, and this is the first time I've ever done this. But I think the precision is necessary in this case. The local Lions' club placed a marker commemorating the fire. The marker doesn't say it's at the origin point, and that's because it's not. It's just a few yards away. There's no space for a marker at the true origin point. The origin was described as either in front of the passenger depot and three doors from the corner, or at Wolfe's lunch counter. Both places are shown on Sheet 9 in the See Also section of the article, and I chose coordinates somewhat between both places. The Lions' Club marker is actually at the location of the old passenger depot. Oona Wikiwalker (talk) 16:52, 1 October 2025 (UTC)Reply
