Social Problems[edit]

History[edit]

The facts in this single sentence may well be true, but it's not expressed in a neutral way, nor is there support for statements that others might challenge: (1) did Robert Moses, as many believe, "ram through" the Cross-Bronx Expressway?, and (2) was this the direct or "inevitable" or principal cause of "White Flight" by Italian Americans? Italian Americans have moved to the suburbs nearly everywhere in the U.S., sometimes prodded by such highway projects and sometimes not (cf. North Beach, San Francisco, California, Federal Hill, Providence, Rhode Island and the North End, Boston, Massachusetts). I'm not saying this analysis is false (someone asserting the contrary would also have to support his or her statements), just that at the moment it's too thin for this encyclopedia. Perhaps one of the External Links has strong arguments, but without at least some footnote, I'm not going to plow through all of them. Shakescene (talk) 23:39, 2 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Harlem & Westchester Rail Road?[edit]

I couldn't find anything about a railroad by this name. Was it the New York & Harlem Railroad? FloridaArmy (talk) 22:58, 13 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@FloridaArmy that's an excellent question. As I've researched various Bronx historical topics, I've discovered that railroad names are a mess. There seem to have been many railroads with similar names, with lots of merging and splitting which only makes it more complicated. I'm not convinced that all of the sources that get used are even correct. It's all kind of frustrating. The bottom line is that I don't really know what the answer to your question is. It's certainly possible, but it's hard to be sure. RoySmith (talk) 23:05, 13 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
