Bay Ridge NotesFrom The Peopling of New York CityPlease begin all posts AFTER this: Pages We Are Working On
Christina 5.23.08Two things:
Christina 5.5.08Now that we're going into the home stretch, I just wanna say, thanks guys. You are all an amazing bunch of people to work with! Neyra, Victor, Prof Napoli, John, all of you were wonderful in somehow making this wiki possible. Despite all my freaking out at 3am over how this will never get done, it got done. And it looks beautiful. So, I just wanted to take the time to say, thanks guys, you all rock, and I couldn't have done anything without you. You all contributed so much to this project and shared the workload (if not the stress XD) equally, and as cheesy as it sounds, our teamwork was awesome. So as we go into tomorrow's final display of Fun-O-Wiki Goodness (always Fun-o-Wiki guys, ALWAYS), I just wanna say, thanks a lot. And I love you guys. Christina 5.3.08Totally didnt notice Neyra's post XD
Just holding this here!
UPDATE: According to John, we are using FIREFOX. Neyra 5.2.08ok yellow fever in u.s / new orleans is done. I could have added more u.s info but I didn't want it to overpower the page b/c it's already pretty long. what do you guys think? We have to do the tornado anddddddd ladies and gentlemen we are DONE! :D Christina 5.1.08Do we really need a Bay Ridge Culture page? Christina May 1st 2008For Neyra:   And, because its totally helpful: 
Neyrahello again! :D do you guys by any chance know how to upload this article on the wiki as a jpg (or w.e other format will make the actual article show up..). I tried, but it saves as a .dll and the whole thing won't save, only certain parts (click on the article and you'll see what I'm talking about.) emailing it to myself also didn't help =/
Christina: DOing it now!  NeyraVictor, do you remember we were looking at some old photos and you were like "Oh wow, there was a pond there before?"..i completely forgot what pic and where we saw it, but I definitely rmr. so if you can, can you please find it and either post it here, or on Yellow Fever in Bay Ridge under "The Aftermath." Thank you !!
Phil 043008Rip youtube to flash http://www.ripzor.com/youtuberipper.html
Neyra 4.30.08Bay Ridge Culture = immigration (diff. nationalities, cultures) ; Borough of Churches ; landmarks. Neyra 4.30.08k, I made the new page guys, Yellow Fever in Bay Ridge and transferred to it all the things we had in the yellow fever history page. YAY GAMESS!! *cheers* Victor 04.30.08I agree, I agree. We should also add something about the tornado I have pictures! WE NEED A PICTURE PAGE and I want mini-games. Neyra 4 29 08ALRIGHTEY!..so here I am at 10:30 pondering about the aftermath of the BR name change (real estate, more streets built, sewer systems built ec.), and on wut page does that exactly go? see, there is a logical order yellow fever in BR -->name change -->the aforementioned changes. with the pages that we have now, we either put all this info on the "Yellow Fever History" page or the "Bay Ridge HIstory" page. BR History is already filled with other info.. so do you guys wanna make another page addressing the aftermath of the yellow fever in BR, since there is a lot to write abt that? cuz right now, the name change info is on the BR history page, the BR yellow fever info is on the Yellow Fever Hist. page.., so it'd be semi-coherent to make a separate page for the changes..? edit: ok...I realy think we should change the title: History of Yellow Fever page into "Yellow Fever in Bay Ridge"..I think that way, we can integrate many pieces of info into that one page. history of yellow fever comes off as a rather braod title. do you guys mind? Christina 4.29.08
Phil: agreed. Names should be somewhere on the neighborhood pages, with links back to your private pages. Phil 042908I'm incredibly proud of what you guys are doing. Even if I did have to hack the image of Barkaloo cemetary.
Phil: You got sumpin 'gainst my pigeon? I love da pigeon! ;)
Christina 4.29.08What I do when I'm home sick.
Victor 4.28.08 Christina 4.27.08Hmm...thats true. I know wikipedia has that there where you can footnote, and they all appear at the bottom of the page. Not sure how to do that, though. Perhaps we could ask John? Also:
 This is from 95th street, at the crossroads between 4th and 5th ave :) Christina 4.26.08haha Yes! Mac has it! XD Phil 042708 This is a good question and an interesting problem that we should resolve as a group. If you had the citations as a separate page you'd need to create links between the separate page and the citation numbers, thus cluttering things up and potentially creating a lot more work for yourselves. On the other hand, a separate page would be provide for a clean look. Neyra 4.26.08O_O MAC HAS THAT?? COOOOOOOOL!!! lol thank you Christina !! IT LOOKS SOO MUCH BETTER ! <33 ...alritey so i did some SNF work. go check that out. I'm gonna start writing things about the name change (where is that going, again? BR History page?) *dies* btw we need to cite all the places we got our info from, like a bibliography? should we make a separate page or just cite the sites under the info like..(c/o www.website.com)..? then again it'd look weird having ten sites under each paragraph..= /..separate page? Christina 4.26.08EVIL! Victor 4.25.08-1:54 am HA!Now you can't blame me for ranting. That would be lovely- all of them! And that's fine, thats why we have the crop tool! And thanks for the tool bar! We really needed it! Christina 4.25.08-1:24 am o.0I could rant about it for HOURS lol XD Victor 4.25.08- 12:37 am..I'm so glad you enjoyed it! We've kind of figured out what needs work- The main bulk of the project now is the history page... We should either divide up the dates and decide who writes what synopsis... ...Or just methodically tick them off one by one. Whatever works best. Also, maybe on Monday, Christina, could you bring in a thumb drive with the high rez pics. I'll shelp my laptop in and start working on the merges. I also made the reference page, and linked all the pages together. It was becoming a drag to keep clicking back all the time, after I'd made edits. ..And I realized we'd have to do that eventaually anyway...
Christina 4.25.08MACBETH WAS AMAZING!!! <3  With:  :D Victor EDITI'm on it. I'll spruce it up. And I think Yellow Fever History and Yellow Fever works fine. Since we have little info on the yellow fever epidemic in Bay Ridge... We can broach other epidemics/pandemics. Sound good? Ney EDITguys, the BR intro page, the text under the pic looks too plain = / it doesnt give the sense that's the introoo page, it should stand out more..? so do we want the "yellow fever in BR" page, then.? Neyra 042504I like the intro a lot, the thing is Victor, I REALLY do not think we should have a separate page for maps!!!! and if you want to link something do this [[linkname]] actually, i'll go do it right now. but u can use this for future reference: so.. Bay Ridge Demographics, History of Bay Ridge, Yellow Fever etc. OK GUYS i created Bay Ridge Culture and History of Yellow Fever that appear on the BR intro page. and Victor I put up the links on the BR intro page..except maybe, kinda, sorta, cut out the Bay Ridge Maps part? XD!.ty.
Christina 4.24.081. I don't like the green for "then and now" lol XD But it looks good! Victor 42408I just added what I wrote to the Bay Ridge Intro Page. Change anything around if you want. I need to add links in, if anyone can help me with that? Ps. Christina, can I convert some of your demographics into charts? The ones with %s? Just to conserve space? and there was something else I wanted to do... Oh yeah! Can I alter the history page so we have the info under the years, so it goes in order? Yellow Fever, i'll cut it down and add pretty pictures if you'd like?? Christina 4.24.08Okay, I cant see straight right now lol. Coding tables is *on the verge of tears* very, VERY annoying. I think I finally got the hang of it, after 3 hours and the Sweeney Todd soundtrack on repeat..... Ney: nuu Christina I wasn't talking about the yellow fever stuff, leave the info, it's really good *worshipswikipedia* lol XD..i was just saying it mite be too much to put yellow fever med stuff, its spread in U.S, NY, BR.all on one page. So yeah how about a separate Yellow Fever in Bay Ridge page? since we all agree on it? and yes loveee I saw your demographic tables..they look very chic *highfives* !! lol *SIGH*...10 hours of wiki work. Victor 042408FYI, there are about 4 albums on facebook that I've posted so far With past/present bay ridge next to one another. We still need some more shots though- we're actually missing quite a lot. And I don't know which all of the pair up with. One of you might remember- can you comment them and let me know? And I agree with Neyra, maybe we need two? Or maybe mix the yellow fever in with the Bay Ridge History? Have we made all the pages layout? 1. Into 2. Bay Ridge History 3. Demographics 4. Maps 5. Yellow Fever 6. Historical Text/Historical Fiction? (7. Yellow Fever IN BAY RIDGE?) Ney EDITok looking at the Yellow Fever page, it looks as though it's going to be very extensive; so maybe we should make a separate page for the Yellow Fever Epidemic? I'm afraid that if we include all the epidemic info on the yellow fever page it's going to be one of those pages u scroll, scroll, scroll, and never get to the end of lol, and we want to make it as clear and coherent as possible. kk, tell me what you guys think =) Neyra 042408You're welcomeeee, love !! :) Glad the article could help you. If you look on the Bay Ridge History site I wrote a bit about the R train which directly has to do with the BR demographics, so if you want to include it on the demo page you're more than welcome to. Just remove it from the BR Hist page then so it won't be redundant :D just for the record, the bullets work for me on the demo page, so if it takes a long time to make a table you totally shouldn't. It's organized and coherent this way also. Christina 4.24.08Neyra, I could MARRY you right now! I can't believe all the work you did on the wiki! It looks fantastic!! *giant hugs* and thank you soooo much for that article, I will try to include it and the info in my demographics page! Which I am totally going to make tables, since the bullets right now are not that coherent. I also wanna add some paragraphs, so I can talk about how and why these changes occured, relating it to Yellow Fever and the subways and everything!!! :) Neyra 042408Christina this has some more demographic info if you need: http://query.nytimes.com/mem/archive-free/pdf?res=9C03E4D81F3EE233A25750C2A9649C946997D6CF :) Christina 4.24.08: More Train InfoSamuel McElroy, superintendent of the street survey, said: Newly Added PagesPlease add the newly added pages here, and MAKE SURE YOU WATCH THEM! --Christina 00:34, 24 April 2008 (EDT) ...btw its 1:16AM...o.0 Christina 4.23.08YAY!! We're glad you're back!! NeyraWELCOME BACK PROFESSOR NAPOLI ! ..we were starting to worry because you've been MIA for dayss. Hope everything's okay!! Phil 042308You guys rock.
Christina 4.23.08Awesome work, Ney! As for the articles, below I posted 2 real estate ads, one from the 1930s and one from 2007. But the 1886 one would be a LOT better! Which will be awesome! :) Also, I posted my preliminary stuff on the Bay Ridge page last night. Perhaps we should be posting it there? And we should all be WATCHING that page!! Neyragood real estate articles from 1886 and 1897 (show prices):
Neyra EDIT (yet again, I love you wikii!!)Just a preliminary draft; a work in progress:
Neyra EDITguys I found a REALLY good 1873 article that sums up yellow fever, real estate, changes in BR: August 14, 1873
Neyra EDIT
Neyra 04 23 08that's soooo awesomeee !! ackk too bad it won't be done on time, I wish we thought of this earlier = / BUT it's still cool!  there is only ONE Bay Ridge right? lol because the poster says Baltimore, MD and I'm thinking it's an agent in MD that's promoting the BR resort.....*sigh* lol XD hahahaha..NEVERMIND THEN!! Christina 4.23.08 Christina 4.23.08 Very Cool!So, as I mentioned to Neyra, there are a bunch of guys who run around Bay Ridge making fun of it (i posted it down somehwere) and I was thinking of using some of their stuff for an opening, since I don't think its possible to rip just a SECTION of a dvd :( and I dont wanna put the whole SNF up! I will try, though. Dear Christina, Thats actually an awesome idea! We have a big nightlife piece in the works next, but thats very interesting. Thanks for being a fan! Either people are loving it, or absolutely despising it. Your film sounds cool. Is it mainly touching on the Yellow Hook history or does it go further? How will you incorporate the Bay Rizz? It sounds cool. I'm all about films, projects and ideas,especially Bay Ridge, as we all went to SVA and we need the madness to continue! -Mayor Bay Rizz ....and yeah, I said "project," but they're film students assume its a film lmao XD Still, pretty cool! I doubt it will be done in time, but they're considering! Which is kinda awesome, right? WE HAVE SOME INFLUENCE OVER THE MINDS OF...well...I think they;re older than us, actually....WHO CARES! Christina 4.23.08: 12:28PM XDSOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!! Neyra 042308 1:10 AM and still going strong!!Christina do you by any chance know from what years the BR maps that you added, are from? (if you don't remember, look below at my post from 041108..they're the two maps b4 the last one). Ty!
Christina...at 12:51AM on 4.(now 23).08Here's the link to the article about the guys who spoof Bay Ridge:
http://www.nydailynews.com/ny_local/brooklyn/2008/04/15/2008-04-15_young_filmmakers_making_bay_ridge_glorio.html
Neyra 042308Wow we've been so caught up in documents and data from the 1800s/1900s that I completely forgot to put up a current map of Bay Ridge. Oy.
YAY IT'S 12:13 AM! ..nothing like wiki-ing after midnight!! XD! Christina: ;D Neyra EDIT 042208Map from "Bay Ridge Chronicles" (ty to Victor for scanning it !! XD! ) 
Neyra EDITAfter that [name change], the neighborhood became a retreat for New York's elite, who built a string of homes along Shore Road. Once the subway was extended south to Bay Ridge in the 1910's, a new group of immigrants moved into the neighborhood, spawning a wave of construction and bringing a new way of life. Not long after, Bay Ridge became synonymous with working-class Brooklyn, with the opening of the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge in 1964 and the filming of "Saturday Night Fever" with John Travolta. well here are some of the Shore Road mansions:       http://www.forgotten-ny.com/SLICES/shore.road/shore.road.html Neyra 042208Real Estate booms in Bay Ridge: I'd post the actual articles but for some reason they wouldn't save right and I couldn't upload them onto the wiki = / Christina 4.22.08 NY Historical SocietySo I went to the NY Historical Society today, kinda a spur of the moment thing, to look at the cholera exhibit. ANYWAY, I will probably post some of the pictures on facebook, but there really wasn't anything that valuable. *shrugs* American Idol is on so I'll post more later XD
Christina 4.21.08From the Brooklyn Daily Eagle, December 19, 1853:  Christina 4.20.08Technically, 4.21.08, but I havent gone to sleep yet so it still counts as the 20th XD Here are some Lui clips I cut and will care more about tomorrow! Lui Masu and the Revolutionary War Cemetary Lui Masu: Moving to Bay Ridge b/c of Williamsburg Bridge Many Immigrants didn't travel to work The Freedom Tree right by FHHS on Shore Road Lui Masu on the 9/11 Memorial at the Pier *falls asleep at computer* Christina 4.20.08More random Bay Ridge info from Of Cabbages and Kings County, my favorite book ever. Christina 4.20.08Also, some helpful R Train info: (courtesy of wikipedia XD) The line that later became the R was the BMT 2. When it entered service on January 15, 1916, it ran between Chambers Street on the BMT Nassau Street Line and 86th Street, using the Manhattan Bridge to cross the East River. Service on the BMT Broadway Line (which was only between Whitehall Street and Times Square) began exactly two years later. The Montague Street Tunnel opened on October 1, 1920, and at that time it took its current shape, running local from Queensboro Plaza to 86th Street. Bay Ridge–95th Street station opened on October 31, 1925. This info is backed up by that "Bay Ridge and Fort Hamilton: A Photographic Journey" book, page 89. The 4th avenue and 77th street station was opened in 1916, and it says it was the "BMT" subway entrance, which I assume means Brooklyn/Manhattan Transit? Maybe? Anyway... Look how this info relates to the maps, especially the decrease in farm land! The R train went up to 86th street in Brooklyn in 1916, when the population began to increase much more dramatically. Table 1A shows the farmland, and the difference between 1899 (360 farms) to 1919 (54 farms) is insane! This correlation fits with the brand-new subway system, especially with how dramatically it kept falling after! Table 9 was fascinating to see how many blacks moved to Kings County and Flatbush, perhaps even showing while Flatbush is like that today. Christina 4.20.08Tables, Tables, Tables Testing this instead:          Also, we're thinking of doing the NY Historical Society the first weekend in May, is that okay for you? And for everyone here? Christina 4.19.08Hey, I will go whenever. I'm sure it will be a really interesting and fun exhibit to look at. Victor will be away this week, but I'll ask Neyra if she maybe wants to come. Otherwise I'll just go! When's the historical society open, anyway? For some reason I seem to think its closed Mondays. But I think it would be fascinating! And there would probably be a lot of information we can get out of it! Christina 4.18.08YAY NY Times! http://www.nytimes.com/2008/04/15/science/15chol.html?_r=1&scp=3&sq=cholera&st=nyt&oref=slogin I know its about Cholera, but its still an awesome article. Also, there's an exhibit at the NY Historical Society on how Cholera shaped Manhattan. Its not exactly what we need, but there will be a lot of parallels. Perhaps we should check it out? Tell me what you guys think!
Phil 041408Great! I hope it has lots of info for you. It is, however, the dullest book I have ever read. :)
Christina 4.14.08I somehow managed to get myself a copy of "Of Cabbages and Kings County: Agriculture and the Formation of Modern Brooklyn," by Marc Linder & Lawrence S. Zacharias. Its not exactly the most interesting thing I've ever read, but it DOES mention Yellow Hook! YAYAYAY!! Neyra 04.12.08a) the opening icon is fabulous!! I love it! b) I resized the map that showed up black so now it's..not black. XD Victor 04.12.08Opening Icon?  Christina: You tell me: Bay Ridge Victor 04.12.08
NeyraOld photos of Bay Ridge: http://brooklynpix.com/catalog15bk.php?locality_no=10201 http://brooklynpix.com/catalog15bk.php?locality_no=10202 
Neyra EDITThis 1890s-era map of Bay Ridge shows that Stewart Avenue was once a main artery, following the present course of Fifth Avenue. Note the Gelston property on the left: Gelston Avenue, then as now, is named for its owner. Fourth Avenue branches off at the top of the map, as it does today. The green area at the right of the map is Fort Hamilton. Note the proposed Bay Ridge and Lake Shore Railroad at the center of the map, that was never built.  http://www.forgotten-ny.com/Alleys/Road%20remnants/roads.html Neyra 041108Okay so it's pretty hard to find historical maps exactly of Bay Ridge, so for now I just found New York ones. Although, there are are two more maps that we photographed on our walking tour and there are the two that Christina found which are perfect because they're actually of Bay Ridge.      I'm just going to add the two previous maps that Christina posted and one that Prof. Napoli added, to keep all the maps together:  
Christina 4.10.08 VERY IMPORTANTIn light of the fact that this is due in like...2 weeks....I have created the 'OFFICIAL BAY RIDGE PAGE!!!! *steamers and banners and balloons* Ahem, yes, so anyway, anything FINAL, but it here: Bay Ridge
Christina 4.8.08Cutting audio clips from our walk, trying to get some important info. Here's a test one which we can totally use on our wiki! Lui Masu: "Bay Ridge is a New Neighborhood" This clip is really significant since it talks about how Bay Ridge is relatively new, city-wise, because of the SUBWAYS. I've seen some pictures (especially in that new book we got today, Neyra, do you still have it?) that has pictures of the subway as it was being built, and discusses how it extended to 92nd street in the 1930s or something. I don't remember the exact date, but before than, Bay Ridge was mostly farmland, and this quote also talks about that! So when we talk about the subways (or show pictures) we can totally use this clip! In fact, we should probably get a picture of the 77th st stop on the R line, since I think theres a picture of it in the other Bay Ridge book! --> also, for some reason it doesn't say the name of the clip when you go to play it, just some random characters. Anyone know how to fix that? Victor 4.7.08Things to touch on in Bay Ridge overview… which will be supported by the photos. Great ideas! We totally need to do another faux walking tour for it and take the pictures of the old places to show how they've changed! Christina 4.7.08 Testing Google Maps
Victor 04.07.08Bold by Christina And these demographics are great, if we can find the previous data, we can make some sort of media clip, like the old-new photo transition. In addition, if we are going to do some sort of creative writing piece, we need some sort of transcript dating to the epidemic. And why did they call it Yellow Hook? ...Food for thought. And why do Macs say “Control” while PCs say “Ctrl” ? ...More food for thought. Ps. The photos from the tour came out great. They'll be up tonight..I hope. Phil (040608)Yes, a Chaplain is a religious leader in the military, be he or she can be of any denomination, not necessarily Catholic. The why is central. Why Sheridan? Why not him or some other grunt? Why that other guy, looking at God? Why Easter Sunday? Why take territory and leave it? Why had he, raised on the Baltimore Catechism, been turned into a killer? Why was he in Vietnam? Why didn't he care enough? Why couldn't he save Sheridan? Why was this Chaplain praising them for killing dying? Why? Kenny grew up in Bay Ridge, and fairly certain that Sheridan did too. And the monument is there of course. I did not edit that excerpt at all. This is what PTSD looks like. He has carried that "why?" for 40 years this past Easter.
Christina 4.5.08 MapsPlease watch this page guys, so that you know what and when stuff is added! Here are some maps:  1. Basically during the same time Bay Ridge became Bay Ridge! This is PRE-Civil War! Which is kinda cool!  and...The Complete 1850 US Census! ....which will not let me upload it. Its a pdf file which is apparently not compatible. If you want the pdf I could email it to you guys? Who wants it, let me know! I'm gonna go back to watching the Star Wars Marathon on tv haha XD And I'll be bringing the books tomorrow!! Christina 4.5.08But yeah....we should include that picture of the memorial and a snippet of the audio in our wiki. I mean...it kinda has to do with Bay Ridge, right? ....right? Christina 4.5.08Wow... I don't know if it was your editing or the way he said it, but that last line is pretty amazing. If only politicians would learn to listen, huh? Phil (040508)Neil Kenny describes the death of Philip L. Sheridan. We saw Sheridan's name on the memorial in Cannonball Park (John Paul Jones Park) yesterday. Neil Kenny is a 59 year old retired NYC public high school teacher. His last job was at Ft. Hamilton High School. He retired in 1995. He'd be more than happy to talk with you about Sheridan. The incident described below took place Easter Sunday, 1968. This transcript and the audio are taken from an oral history I conducted with him in 2005. This passage, or one similar to it, is used in my exhibition "In Our Own Words" at the Brooklyn Historical Society. We ought to try to interpret the meaning of this passage. I'll try to post the audio later.
Phil 040408Totally happy to help. Thrilled about the maps! Remember what I said over pizza. I mean every word. Your success is the most important thing. I sent you the audio a bit eariier tonight. Check your email. Some sounds good and some does not, depending on the wind! Christina 4.5.08MORE CENSUS INFO!
It only goes to 1990, and I can only cover the entire Brooklyn, but here's some useful info: Media:Demographics.xls
Also Christina 4.5.08Preliminary Census Info for Bay Ridge, 2000
" Christina 4.5.081. Thank you sooo much for ordering the book!!!!
2. Yup, got some of that info from The Bay Ridge Chronicles!
3. NEYRA: YOU HAVE NEVER EATEN AT LENNYS?????? THATS BLASHPHEMY!!! But wow....never eaten at Lenny's. You've at least eaten at L&B, right? Spulmoni Gardens? BECAUSE IF YOU HAVEN'T I AM SHOVING YOU IN A CAR AND TAKING YOU THERE RIGHT NOW!!!
What cenus track(s) should I use? hmmm? A bunch of them? Since Bay Ridge is a decent size neighborhood.... Neyra 040408Many of the same people who established Christ Church then busied themselves establishing Bay Ridge. On December 16, they gathered to rename the area, as Yellow Hook had acquired a negative association with the dreaded Yellow Fever. Christ Church Vestryman Weir proposed the topographically-appropriate name of Bay Ridge. http://www.nycago.org/Organs/Bkln/html/ChristChurchBayRidge.html Christ Church, Bay Ridge (Episcopal) 7301 Ridge Boulevard Brooklyn, NY 11209 Without a doubt, the handsomest building fronting on 5th Avenue in the Neighborhood with No Name is the McGovern-Weir greenhouse on 25th Street. The florist has been in business since the 1850s (The James Weir Floral Company is located on Montague Street in Brooklyn Heights). In 1853, Yellow Hook was renamed Bay Ridge at [James] Weir's suggestion, since the area's former name, Yellow Hook, reminded many of a yellow fever epidemic (I think it might be fun to interview them too!)
and the "ridge" also originated from the fact that there are many step streets in the area such as this one: http://www.forgotten-ny.com/forgottentour20/colinfny053.jpg * http://cooperator.com/articles/1111/1/The-City-By-the-Bay/Page1.html - some more info. http://www.bklyn-genealogy-info.com/Map/Bay.1.2.html (1873) http://spiderbites.nytimes.com/articles/free/free185309.html - I'll see if there's anything useful here.
Lenny’s Pizzeria on 86th Street — made famous in the opening sequence of “Saturday Night Fever” (we should go there, if we include the SNF clip!) Phil 040808This book is in the BC Lib., and I'm going to try to pick up a copy today for you at BHS. Author: Reiss. Marcia.
Phil 040408I've ordered a copy of this from Amazon: Bay Ridge (Images of America) (Paperback) by Peter Scarpa (Author), Lawrence Stelter (Author), Peter Syrdahl (Author) Maybe, if the Historical Society is defunct you could nevertheless contact one of the authors? Authors Peter Scarpa, Lawrence Stelter, and Peter Syrdahl of the Bay Ridge Historical Society have performed extensive research to bring together this collection of rare photographs and the stories behind them. Phil 0404081790s or 1850s or 1880s? Maybe you could find this guy to see where he got his info? Probably from the Bay Ridge Chronicles, but.... Neyra found this already. History Thing of the past? By Joe Jordan for The Brooklyn Paper http://www.brooklynpaper.com/stories/30/50/30_50history.html What’s in a name? Here’s what: When the first Dutch settlers arrived in this neck of the woods in the 1500s, they called the area Yellow Hook, after the strange tint of the local soil. But in 1853, an outbreak of fatal Yellow Fever broke out. As news of the growing epidemic spread, many locals were concerned that the name “Yellow Hook” might be associated with the disease and subsequently spoil a wave of planned development in the area. And so, on a cold winter’s day — Dec. 16, 1853 — a group of local prominent landowners voted unanimously to rename Yellow Hook as Bay Ridge and save their fellow residents in the real-estate business.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlantic_Yacht_Club The club's original clubhouse was a barge that was moored at the foot of Court Street at the end of Gowanus Creek, facing Gowanus Bay. In the early 1880s, the club acquired a waterfront farm property on 55th Street in Yellow Hook, Brooklyn. The neighborhood subsequently assumed the name of Bay Ridge, a name suggested by club-member, former Commodore and leading Brooklyn florist, James Weir. The converted clubhouse was soon replaced by a larger facility constructed at the end of the club's new pier at the end of 55th Street.

If You're Thinking of Living In/Red Hook; Isolated Brooklyn Area Starts to Awaken By AARON DONOVAN Published: June 10, 2001 The Dutch gave Red Hook its name in the 17th century for its peninsular shape and its ruddy soil, said John Manbeck, the Brooklyn borough historian. (Another bulge on the Brooklyn shore -- now known as Bay Ridge -- was called Yellow Hook until yellow fever epidemics in the 1790's made the name unsavory, Mr. Manbeck said.)

Phil 040308You certainly could interview them. It might be fun. Christina 4.3.08If you want to find out more information on James Weir, the guy who suggested the name Bay Ridge, his flower company is still in business. Maybe we can talk to his family or something as an oral history?

ChristinaThis is totally random!! Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz issued a proclamation on Tuesday, August 22nd [2006] at a brief ceremony in Bay Ridge in front of a fully blooming Hydrangea bush, formally designating the Hydrangea as the floral emblem of Bay Ridge. We have an official flower--the Hydrangea!!! ChristinaThis is just cool:
http://www.nytimes.com/2004/11/28/nyregion/thecity/28caps.html?_r=1&oref=slogin South Brooklyn is north of southern Brooklyn because until 1894 the Red Hook area (South Brooklyn) was the southernmost part of the City of Brooklyn. Bay Ridge was originally called "Yellow Hook" until a yellow fever epidemic struck and the name was changed. Suggested reading: The Brooklyn Almanac by Margaret Latimer is a history of Kings County/City of Brooklyn/Borough of Brooklyn. Some problems with geography, but a good resource. Ms. Latimer also wrote Two Cities that describes month-by-month life in New York City (Manhattan and the western Bronx) and in the City of Brooklyn (the northern-third of Kings County) in 1883, the year the Brooklyn bridge was built.
this is being editing lol XD James Weir, a florist with nurseries and greenhouses in the Village of Yellow Hook in the Township of New Utrecht and flower shops in the then City of Brooklyn suggested the name be changed to 'Bay Ridge.'" 25th Street and 5th Avenue....? Or is it on Montague Street? I will google! Either way its a trek....I'll see if my momma can drive us :D (or just me...its one picture after all lol) Places we need to visit: "schoolhouse then on Third Avenue near 73rd Street" was where the meeting was held!
Christ Church Bay Ridge History in Brief By JIM GUTHRIE Shortly after purchasing land and building a home in what was then Yellow Hook in 1851, Joseph A. Perry, manager of the Green-Wood Cemetery, persuaded his parish’s Rector the Rev. Dr. John Seeley Stone of Christ Church Clinton Street, of the need for an Episcopal Church in Bay Ridge. Gathering friends and neighbors, including Theodore Sedgwick, Daniel Richards, Charles Prince, A.F. Spear, A. M. McGrath and others, 'Perry persuaded them to contribute to purchase land and build a church in the section known as Ovington Village, at the corner of what is now 68th St and Third Avenue. Emily Constable Perry gave the stained glass windows, John B. Kitching the organ, and Mrs. Henry B. Pierrepont (Joseph Perry’s mother-in-law) gave the Chancel furniture. Mr. Perry and Mr. Kitching were elected Wardens. Sedgwick, Richards, William C. Langley, Joseph Dunderdale, Benjamin Townsend, George Fletcher, David C. Winslow and James Weir were elected to the first parish Vestry. Many of the same people who established Christ Church then busied themselves establishing Bay Ridge. On December 16, they gathered to rename the area, as Yellow Hook had acquired a negative association with the dreaded Yellow Fever. Christ Church Vestryman Weir proposed the topographically-appropriate name of Bay Ridge. By simple decision of this ad hoc group (that also included Townsend, Perry, and Langley, as well as Henry C. Murphy. Jacques Van Brunt, J. Remsen Bennett, Winant, W. Bennett, and Isaac Bergen) they renamed the area. Weir remained active on Christ Church’s Vestry until his death in 1891. As more and more people moved to Bay Ridge in the later part of the nineteenth century, the 1853 building became inadequate for the size of the congregation. Worse, neighborhood growth brought an extension of the Fifth Avenue El by the Brooklyn City Railroad in 1895 to Third Avenue, but instead of extending the El to Fort Hamilton, the company saved money by simply building a ramp for El trains to reach the street. El trains on the street did not work out, but by 1902 trolleys clattered up and down the El ramp within a few feet of the church, disrupting worship. Bay Ridge began life as Yellow Hook, a reflection of the yellow soil that used to cover the land in the 17th century. While its neighbor to the north, Red Hook, kept its colorful name, Yellow Hook became Bay Ridge when yellow fever swept the country in the mid-19th century. After that, the neighborhood became a retreat for New York's elite, who built a string of homes along Shore Road. Once the subway was extended south to Bay Ridge in the 1910's, a new group of immigrants moved into the neighborhood, spawning a wave of construction and bringing a new way of life. Not long after, Bay Ridge became synonymous with working-class Brooklyn, with the opening of the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge in 1964 and the filming of "Saturday Night Fever" with John Travolta. But in 1853, an outbreak of fatal Yellow Fever broke out. As news of the growing epidemic spread, many locals were concerned that the name “Yellow Hook” might be associated with the disease and subsequently spoil a wave of planned development in the area. And so, on a cold winter’s day — Dec. 16, 1853 — a group of local prominent landowners voted unanimously to rename Yellow Hook as Bay Ridge and save their fellow residents in the real-estate business. http://www.brooklynpaper.com/stories/30/50/30_50history.html BAY RIDGE. Bay Ridge was the name chose for Yellow Hook about 1850. A group of residents formed the Ovington Village Association. James WEIR, florist, suggested the new name. It applied to a territory running from Sixty-first Street, the New Utrecht town line to about Eighty-sixth Street, and to Stewart Avenue, now Sixth Avenue and New York Bay. Joseph PERRY built the first home. The Bay Ridge Park Improvement Association controlled about 3,000 acres from Fort Hamilton Avenue to Fourteenth Avenue, and from Ovington Avenue southward to Eighty-sixth Street. The company opened Bay Ridge Avenue to Thirteenth Avenue, and Thirteenth Avenue for its entire length from Ovington Avenue and Eighty-sixth Street. Bath Beach in its early days was know as Bath Village until about 1889, when it was changed to Bath Beach, and throned upon the grassy plateau backed by woodlands. It was originally New Utrecht Beach, located between the waterfront and Eighty-sixth Street, DeBruyn¹s lane (now Twentieth Avenue) and Bennett¹s Lane (now Sixteenth Avenue). It contained fine homes and very fine clubs. John Lott NOSTRAND was its wealthiest resident fifty years ago. John I. VOORHEES lived into the nineties at Bath Beach. John Scott NOSTRAND and Archibald YOUNG were the first to develop the farms into building lots in 1880-1885. http://www.bklyn-genealogy-info.com/Newspaper/BSU/Anniversary/ManyVillages.html

The "revolutionary" appellation comes from a plaque erected in 1962 on the protective gate, which indicates that several Revolutionary War veterans are buried here; though some historians dismiss the claim as spurious, others say that William Barkaloo's sons, Harmans and Jacques, fought in the Battle of Brooklyn, which raged in Bay Ridge and throughout the towns of New Utrecht and Brooklyn.

Our past/present virtual tour? ChristinaFabulous. I'd also like to put in some history on the yellow fever epidemic in general, aside from the one in Bay Ridge. And I know some places we can photograph, such as the school where the meeting originally took place! And if we cant find images from the 1850s, if you'd like, you could maybe do some "artist's renditions" of the places, little sketches of what they may have looked like, etc. That is, if its not too much work! I'll be hitting up google images and JSTOR, just to see what we can find before we go to the historical society :)
http://query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9B05E7DA113DE53BBC4153DFB667838B669FDE http://query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=980DE6D81339E134BC4953DFBF66838D649FDE VictorWhat I think we should do for our Wiki, is provide a preliminary layout of Bay Ridge now (2008) and then (1800s). Maybe take some pictures and discuss some of the current and then dated land marks in the area. Like 86th street and other major areas, and then the lakes that have been filled in and sites which are no longer standing. I know there is a photo of a body of water where Century 21 is currently standing. We could find photos from then and then show what it was like in the 1800s. I’d like to construct a small looping slide show which displays photographs of Bay Ridge now, and then have them fade to older shots. We can hopefully find some photos. And that'll be our segway into the yellow fever. We could provide the facts about yellow fever and how it effect Bay Ridge, and couple that with the info from a real doctor. This gives us a history, a detour into historical research and text, as well as an interview. I also can contact my American History expert and see if he knows anything about it which he can be interviewed about. And from there, I'd honestly like to couple our research with some arts. Maybe we could have some drawings? I could do some diagrams of the disease and its effect on the body-I’ve done this for science classes before, it shouldn’t be too much of a problem. And, if we can find any personal accounts of the disease, I'd like to add some form of historical fiction into it. If we can find a first-hand account, waybe we can all co-write something based on it, a short story that would describe what it would have been like back then. This would be similar to the book’s we’ve been reading in class. And since both Christina and myself are creative writing majors and Neyra is interested in writing, this could work out. What does everyone think of this? ChristinaVictor, I know we should be talking to a real doctor, but here's a prilimary bit on Yellow Fever, courtesy of WebMD:  Yellow Fever: Synonyms: Bunyavirus Infection Disorder Subdivisions: None General Discussion Yellow Fever is a viral infection that causes damage to the liver, kidney, heart and gastrointestinal tract. Major symptoms may include sudden onset of fever, yellowing of the skin (jaundice) and hemorrhage. It occurs predominately in South America, the Caribbean Islands and Africa. The disease is spread through bites of infected mosquitos. Incidence of the disease tends to increase in the summer as the mosquito population increases, and it occurs year round in tropical climates. Yellow Fever has two cycles: the sylvan cycle in which mosquitos primarily spread the disease among forest-dwelling primates, and the urban cycle in which the infection is spread from human to human." I didn't know it caused hemorrhage o.0! More Info can be found at the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, a fabulous fabulous website! http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dvbid/yellowfever/YF_FactSheet.html The fact sheet is GOD <3! ChristinaReal photographs will be AMAZING! Just an updateI picked up two books out of the library today, including "The Bay Ridge Chronicles: 1524-1976" which is SUPER helpful. It gives a really basic history, but its just such a cool book XD! More when it comes. Right now I'm swamped with papers o.0! VictorWoah... I feel like a deer in the headlights. I've been following along with the information, but I have yet to match any of it. I've found some photographs that may be from the time period we need- just to give us a visual idea of what Bay Ridge, or "Yellow Hook" looked like at the time of the fever epidemic. I've been digging around my family history for anything that would help us, but nothing dates before 1901 in Bay Ridge. I'll post the photographs as soon as I can get them. And Hopefully some of them will help us. Ps. Thank you Phil and Christina for the cornucopia of information which I am still processing. Pps. FINALLY, I have.. some info... to break Christina's posting streak. Christina ChristinaTHANK YOU! I didn't even know we had a Bay Ridge historical society! Awesome! *is excited* We could totally use their help :) ...One thing.... That address is a PO Box, and the phone number is for a residence. o.0. Is this one girl (Susan J Pulaski, according to Yellowbook.com) really the Bay Ridge Historical Society? Should I email her? I feel a bit awkward... I mean I could try contacting her? But do you think she has any information? The number if for her apartment, after all... What do you guys think? PhilThis is a short description of what Christina has been talking about: http://rightinbayridge.blogspot.com/2007/12/happy-birthday-bay-ridge.html Contact these guys! Bay Ridge Historical Society
 ChristinaShould we visit? "Without a doubt, the handsomest building fronting on 5th Avenue in the Neighborhood with No Name is the McGovern-Weir greenhouse on 25th Street. The florist has been in business since the 1850s (The James Weir Floral Company is located on Montague Street in Brooklyn Heights). In 1853, Yellow Hook was renamed Bay Ridge at Weir's suggestion, since the area's former name, Yellow Hook, reminded many of a yellow fever epidemic." http://www.forgotten-ny.com/NEIGHBORHOODS/greenwoodhts/gwoodhts2.html

Thank you soo much! I requested the Bay Ridge Chronicles book from the library, so hopefully it will be sent to my local library. That book sounds really, really helpful...probably since it has Yellow Hook in the title XD! Hopefully I can go to the NY Public Library sometime soon and check it out. The central library there has a LOT of stuff, although I'm not so sure how much it will have on Bay Ridge. Still, I figure its worth a shot. And the Central Library in Brooklyn is beautiful. I'll see if I can get there soon. Meanwhile, I'll see what I can get sent to my local library so I can do some preliminary research. I also wanna check out the historical society for copies of some local Bay Ridge papers, since I'm sure they'll have been LOTS of articles from when the name was changed. Is there any way I an email them and ask before I go down there again? And thanks for everything! PhilOutstanding!
