No one refers to the area as Rockaway. It is the Specific area (i.e. Far Rockaway, or Rockaway Park). THere is no place on the map named Rockaway. I believe that Rockaway, New York needs to be merged into The Rockaways, which is similar to The Bronx.

As I am from Rockaway and would never say I am from the Rockaways, it is possible that this could be resolved differently, further there IS a place called Bronx, NY even though people say the bronx. The closest geographical grouping might be just to make it Rockaway Penninsula, which while not a political division is geographical. Dlgoldstein 04:25, 11 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

"There are less than 50 bungalows left, who live with the increasing threat of urban renewal." I don't believe there is a threat of urban renewal, why bother to "URBAN RENEW" by taking the less than 50 bungalows, when there are miles of oceanfront already cleared of bungalows by the misguided (and incomplete) URBAN RENEWAL of the 1960's? Since when is a bungalow a "who"?

Something Like This...

Note: The comment about the easternmost portion forming the town of East Rockaway is not correct. (1) East Rockaway is a village in the Town of Hempstead. (2) East Rockaway is several miles from the Rockaway peninsula. (3) The nearest Nassau County communities are Inwood, Lawrence, and Cedarhurst.

Notes belong on the talk page I believe, and then worded to fit with an encyclopedic format...however, I don't know much about this part of New York, so I think I should leave it up to someone else who does know about it to fix it so it will be correct. -WikiFiend90 18:28, 29 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Could any one add the population figures for the entire rockaway (Queens only). From Far rockaway to breezy point.
