Talk:Neighborhoods in Plymouth, Massachusetts

message: I'm not quite sure why Pine Hills is listed here as a neighborhood. It is a geographic region, not a neighborhood. At the same time, The Pinehills is a development, not a neighborhood. Neither really belongs on this list. Raime 16:20, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

message: I was unaware that Clark's Island now belongs to Duxbury. The last two sentences in the Geography section of the main article of Plymouth do not indicate that. When was Clark's Island ceded to Duxbury? Is there any note of that in Duxbury's article? Ed 12:26, 11 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: That is wrong information. Someone wrote that it was part of Duxbury in the original Plymouth Geography article, but I checked yesterday and it is incorrect. I changed it in the Plymouth article, but forgot to fix it here. Clark's Island is and has always been part of Plymouth. I'll change the information. Raime 12:56, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

message: I have never heard of Flagg Hill in Plymouth. I did a search, and found a Flagg Hill in Boxborough MA, extending into the neighboring town of Stow. Ed 02:25, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It is a small neighborhood located between Gunners Exchnage Pond and Island Pond, directly south of South Pond. It can be accessed through Gunners Exchange Road, off Long Pond Road. Found information from American Map Metro Boston Atlas, Seventh Edition, Page 188. It is mentioned briefly here (in-text: NOTE: There are two other "Island Ponds" in the town of Plymouth. One is north-east of Flagg Hill and the other is west of Cedarville. Great Island Pond is ...). Raime 03:08, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: So that's what that neighborhood around Gunners Exchange is called. Wow! I'm absolutely floored about learning this information. Believe me, I have never heard that name before. And I have never seen that name in print, even when there was a newspaper article last year about an excessive speed limit on Gunners Exchange Road. Ed 04:03, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I traveled to Gunners Exchange Road today. No one there has heard of Flagg Hill. I then went to Plymouth Town Hall. The people in the Plymouth Assessor's Office have never heard of that location or neighborhood. Hmm . . . Perhaps someone at The Pinehills is redrawing Plymouth's map without telling anyone.

replies: text: Well, it's not just The Pinehills, it's also the American Map Metro Boston Atlas. But, if the town government has never heard of it, that is sufficient for removal from the list. Raime 22:27, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I consulted another source, Massachusetts Atlas and Gazetteer, published by DeLorme. On Page 59 I found Flagg Hill in Plymouth. It is a hill, 235 feet in elevation, near Hoyt Pond. Based on our experience with Manomet Hill, since Flagg Hill is even less notable, I think we can put this matter to sleep once and for all. Ed 22:38, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

message: Is Wellingsley a real "neighborhood"? I've always thought that Jabez Corner was the neighborhood, and Wellingsley was a road inside of it. That is also how the Atlas put it, so I've reinstated Jabez Corner, and put Wellingsley underneath it, as "Wellingsley Avenue" is considered the main road of Jabez Corner. Wellingsley is not used interchangeably with Jabez Corner, but is actually inside of it.  Raime 12:55, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

message: I paid a visit to Plymouth Town Hall on 31 August. According to the Town Engineer the only Village Districts or Zoning Overlays (this is the first time I have ever heard of either of these terms) in Plymouth are Plymouth Center, North Plymouth, West Plymouth, Manomet and Cedarville. Note that South Plymouth is not a Village District, nor are places like Ellisville, Vallerville or Chiltonville. There are no set boundaries between Village Districts, villages or neighborhoods. There is no real problem with anything written thus far; just a different way of seeing things. We do need to incorporate this information into this article and probably the main Plymouth article as well. Ed 18:25, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
