New populations

edit

so-called "cosmopolitans" (generally gentrifying non-hispanic white and Asian hipsters and yuppies).

This statement is somewhat derogatory and not necessarily a fair description of the new wave of "immigrants" to the area.....

Why the "quotes" on immigrants. It is obvious that these hipsters and yuppies are not home-grown Hudson County native, no? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.83.61.39 (talk) 05:57, 20 September 2008 (UTC)Reply

That may be so, but I wouldn't call empty-nesters, unmarried couples, gay people, Salvadorans, families w/ young kids, rent refuges from Hoboken & dtown JC, all necessarily hipsters, non-hispanic, or Asian, would you????

You are right. Only non-hispanic white and asian Hipsters and Yuppies are non-hispanic white and asian Hipsters and Yuppies. I am not counting asian hispanics, or non hipsters and yuppies. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.83.61.39 (talk) 16:52, 21 September 2008 (UTC)Reply

The article is about North Hudson, not about defining hipster or yuppies. To say the lastest influx is to the area is "generally" those types is narrow and misleading....and should be either expanded or deleted.

Palisade Avenue

edit

In the Geography section, why is Palisade Avenue singled out as the only street that retains its name as it passes through all the [North Hudson] communities? What about JFK, Bergenline, Tonnelle, etc? Or do we mean that it is the only street that passes through North Hudson into Bergen County with its name unchanged? I personally feel that the entire bullet list on anomalies should be eliminated. What does it add to the article? --RoyGoldsmith (talk) 18:28, 1 October 2009 (UTC) Because it is. The others do not come into Weehawken. (In Bergen it becomes Palisadessss Avenue, by the way.) It gives a sense of the fact that the geography was greatly changed by the construction of the tunnel and that it was very much started villages that grew into each other (like London/Brooklyn) rather planned development (like Manhattan/DC)Djflem (talk) 18:51, 1 October 2009 (UTC)Reply

Photo in Section "Character"

edit

The caption of this photo is a statement about Cuban population of North Hudson and has nothing specifically to do with the photo, and so does not really belong there. It is a photo of a parade event, and descriptive material that is posted along with the photo should not contain peripheral material, regardless of veracity. In addition, even thought this statement doesn't belong here, it is unsubstantiated, and wherever the statement is made, a citation is needed. Olynickjeff (talk) 19:40, 14 July 2014 (UTC)Reply
