Talk:Bedford Park, Bronx
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The demography I added is for a neighborhood area slightly larger than how it's been defined in the first paragraph. So as to make sure to get the other side of Bedford Park Boulevard, including the Ursuline Academy, I included the area south to 198th Street (how it is defined at HPD [1]). The area from Jerome to Goulden included in the demography section is in a census tract (409) that goes down to Kingsbridge Road, but that won't effect the numbers since the additional area south of 198th is just some Lehman, Walton H.S., and the Kingsbridge Armory. Dtasripin, do you think the definition in the first paragraph should go down to 198th as well?
See the Northwest Bronx Census Map [2]. I've used census tracts 407.01, 407.02, 409, 411, 413, and 415. Satyadasa 23:47, 21 August 2005 (UTC)
- This is why I used "roughly" for borders. Obviously because we are talking about New York, it's mostly one big continuous city but there's some edges between neighborhoods. I'd say that from a combination of factors (being a thoroughfare, having a buildings that are mixed use, having a BID), Bedford Park Boulevard serves as a convenient marker because it's a break in the population density, and because people tend to wander only as far as their closest supermarket, Chinese takeout place, or 99 cent store. But, of course, the Census has an entirely different reasoning for why it marks off lots. The fact that they don't necessarily come up congruous doesn't make me lose any sleep, since you did it with good judgement.--Daniel 02:12, August 23, 2005 (UTC)
[edit] grammar
hey, I noticed that the line, 'Posters for concerts and events' by itself and out of context in the second paragraph of the culture section. here is the paragraph as it was:
-
- Bedford Park's ethnic diversity manifests itself in an assortment of ways besides the formation of enclaves. Among the national symbols one may see strolling the neighborhood include the double-headed eagle (the emblem of Albania), the icon of Our Lady of Guadalupe (sacred to Catholic Mexicans), the shamrock of Ireland, the Arabic calligraphy of the shahadah (the Muslim profession of faith), or the coquí of Puerto Rico. A vast assortment of newspapers are sold in local convenience stores, including The Echo of Ireland, Albanian-language Bota Sot of Kosovo, and the Spanish-language local newspapers El Diario/La Prensa, and El Hoy. Posters for concerts and events
I'm taking off the last sentence looks like someone started it but never finnished. I'm taking it off for now, If some wants to add it back on later as it was meant they can. Good thing it was picked up by puntuation bots from Wikipedia:WikiProject Punctuation. Olleicua 00:16, 12 January 2006 (UTC)
