Talk:Elmhurst, Queens: Difference between revisions

{{WPNYC|class=B|importance=Mid}}

Elmhurst is a great place for families, with the new schools, afterschool programs, great library, easy commuting and available parking!

This passage from "However, besides the fact theres much diverse beauty in this area...besides this little ghetto is a b- area to raise your kids in." is racist as hell - coupling specific races and ethnicities with crimes - and, having personally spent a good amount of time in the area, in my opinion the image it paints is inaccurate. Perhaps there's some information in it that is useful and can be salvaged but I'm not sure what that is and in any case, it definitely needs to be rewritten.

== ELMHURST CONFUSION ==

Elmhurst is NOT the replacement name of the Town of Newtown. It is the replacement name of the Village of Newtown, which was originally named '''Middleburgh'''. Newtown Township is still extant as the 111XX Zip Code, although the various place names are used for the full five digits. My source is the '''Encyclopedia of New York City'''.

== Diversity ==

How can Jackson Heights and Elmhurst both be "the most ethnically diverse neighborhood/community in the world"?

- Agreed! It's more accurate to say that it's one of the most diverse neighborhoods. <small>—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/24.239.147.137|24.239.147.137]] ([[User talk:24.239.147.137|talk]]) 18:11, 3 October 2007 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

== Demographics ==

The percentages under demographics add up to more than 100 and are confusing. <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/68.160.201.157|68.160.201.157]] ([[User talk:68.160.201.157|talk]]) 18:48, 29 September 2009 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
