Talk:Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn

V&R?

I'm born and raised Carroll Gardens, and while V&R makes a perfectly nice slice of pizza, it's not exactly a landmark. I'm taking it off the page. (Nice try for the free plug, though.) —Preceding unsigned comment added by HandsomeSam57 (talk • contribs) 19:18, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

Historical Sites

This whole section just seems to be local merchants looking for free ad space. Can we have some judicious editing, and maybe replace this with actual 'historical sites', and not a list of places to eat and drink? —Preceding unsigned comment added by HandsomeSam57 (talk • contribs) 16:53, 23 March 2009 (UTC)

Added Mazzola bakery

I added Mazzola bakery to historical locations. I understand this might be interpreted as advertising a specific business, however I think Mazzola's has a certain character that makes it historic. I grew up in Carrol Garden's and I can't imagine anyone growing up in this neighborhood and not knowing about this bakery. I am not affiliated with Mazzola's.Particle25 (talk) 22:31, 6 September 2012 (UTC)

Neighborhood bounds?

Does anyone know a source that defines the bounds of this neighborhood? The article currently does not say which streets border the neighborhood. It suggests that it is bounded on the West by Court Street, by I doubt this is correct as I think it extends all the way to Hicks street. Particle25 (talk) 22:33, 6 September 2012 (UTC)

Error

The above summary has one error. The last sentence SHOULD read that the historic district is bounded roughly by President St. to the north, Carroll St. to the south, Hoyt St. to the east, and Smith St.* to the west.

(I'd say Henry St., or at least Clinton since it has the funeral home) I would like to add the Carroll Gardens is bounded by Degraw St per the markings on the street signs.

I would add that Carroll Gardens was in the late-19th and early 20th century home to many Norwegian immigrants and that the Norwegian Seamen's Church, located on the corner of Clinton Street and First Place, is a local landmark and was once visited by the King of Norway. Also, until the mid-nineteen sixties, the area now known as Carroll Gardens was considered to be part of Red Hook. The name change came about during the gentrification of the area by Manhattanites in the sixties and early seventies.

Particle25 (talk) 22:36, 6 September 2012 (UTC)Smith Street is definitely not a western bound for the neighborhood. I think it extends all the way to Hicks. Is that not correct? Particle25 (talk) 22:36, 6 September 2012 (UTC)

Combine 3 Jackson and Manbeck references/citations into 1

A Harvard reference to {{cite brookneighb}} (Jackson and Manbeck) is used in notes 3, 5, and 19 (as of this revision). It is also the only entry in the Bibliography section of the article.

Option 1 If we combine this citation into a single inline reference (using {{cite brookneighb}} and {{rp}} to differentiate between the 3 notes) to match all the other references in the article, we could remove the 3rd level headers currently present in the References section of the article. This would be similar to how the references in the Health section are currently shown.

Option 2 Alternatively, we could also forego {{rp}} and just have 3 duplicate inline citations of {{cite brookneighb}} with the necessary page number differences indicated within each respective inline reference. This would create some duplication of references albeit with different page numbers in the notes, but since there is a template they will at least be formatted identically.

I'm open to either option with a preference for using {{rp}} so there is only one call to {{cite brookneighb}}. I think both options are superior to the current version. Let me know if you'd like me to mock up clearer examples of the two options I proposed.

Are there other options I'm missing? What do the rest of you think? - Paul^T+/_C 08:52, 13 March 2019 (UTC)
