Talk:Brighton Beach

message: The paragraph below inserted into the article is true. You can come to Brighton Beach and talk to old timers, who will thell you this. Just because something is not reported in the media, does not mean it did not happen. In 1940-1943, the media did not report on people being in concetration camps, either. Does it mean it did not happen?
"In late 1970's to mid 1980's Brighton Beach was beginning to become a bad neighborhood due to crime wave sweeping across much of America's cities. However, having just arrived and having nowhere else to go, new Russian immigrants fought bloody battles on the streets of Brighton Beach and succesfully pushed out most of the the criminal element in the neighborhood." --71.247.66.125 00:27, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, and if someone can find a print source stating this observation, we can add it. we are not an investigative newspaper, but an encyclopedia. Unfortunately, if we were around during the holocaust, we probably would have struggled with adding the little info publicly available on the subject, as it was hard to verify.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 04:44, 5 December 2011 (UTC)

message: I corrected the population numbers as that is the numbers stated in the Russian language version of this article, and as I assume that version was written by actual Russian-speaking people living in Brighton-beach or other wise more familiar with it, I trust their numbers better.
Actually, the 2000 census says that the population from the entire zip code is 77,541. How could more than 4 times that number live in only 1/3 of that zip code alone?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.122.253.212 (talk) 03:46, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

This map shows the boundaries of Brighton Beach
* Origin of map: Hughes, C. J. "Waterfront Living That Doesn’t Break the Bank." The New York Times. April 30, 2010. which says "A square mile bordered by Ocean Parkway, the Shore Parkway, Corbin Place and, of course, the waterfront,"
Comparing it to the map of Coney Island:

* Origin of map: Scharfenberg, David. "Safety Belts On? Renewal Has Its Hazards." The New York Times. November 19, 2006. - Article says "Coney Island, which has a residential population of about 53,000, is bounded by the Belt Parkway to the north, Ocean Parkway to the east and the Atlantic Ocean to the south."
I have seen sources that say that PS 100 Coney Island was in Brighton Beach:
*Fertig, Beth. "Test Driving a Pilot Teacher Evaluation System." SchoolBook. The New York Times. March 14, 2012. Retrieved on October 15, 2012. "Ms. Moloney has been testing a new framework for evaluating teachers this year at the school, which is actually in Brighton Beach,"
Same with Lincoln HS:
*Abrams, Arnold. "EDUCATION Celebrating A School's Soul Brooklyn's Lincoln High honors three of its students who won Nobel prizes - and the woman who taught them." Newsday. June 3, 1986. Start Page 3, Section II. "Lincoln, located in Brighton Beach, is a neighborhood[...]"
But that doesn't match up with the maps...

message: I always hear that Brighton Beach is almost completely a Russian Jewish neighborhood with no ethnic Russians and Ukrainians at all in the area. Why aren't there any ethnic Russians and Ukrainians living in Brighton Beach by now if the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 now allows anyone to leave freely nowadays?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.14.189.228 (talk) 01:41, 8 February 2014 (UTC)

On looking at the reference, I could find no mention to Brighton, or to the population number given. Since the numbers are discrepant with regard to the later cited census numbers, and since Brighton and the numbers are not readily apparent at the webpage given—perhaps a tab is needed or some such, but this makes this a poor source—the information is moved here until it can be verified and sourced. (Ledes should not contain information not in their main bodies, and that is dubious.)  Le Prof Leprof 7272 (talk) 22:00, 12 November 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Lede and info box are now consistent with the article Demographics section, and the one citation that is given there.

message: Hi!
I recently visited Brighton Beach avenue. There is a supermarket titled "Gourmanoff" at what used to be 
The "Millennium Theater", and which was later renamed to the "Master Theater". Here is the link to the Google image of the supermarket/theater entrance:
https://www.google.com/maps/place/1029+Brighton+Beach+Ave,+Brooklyn,+NY+11235/@40.578276,-73.9584747,3a,75y,342.21h,92.44t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1s1m2rgGCQxIfVWI2nTdxy2Q!2e0!7i13312!8i6656!4m5!3m4!1s0x89c2446a1d8c5eaf:0x898588f507b78dd5!8m2!3d40.5784293!4d-73.9585297
The webpage of the "Master theater" is still live and lists current and future events: http://mastertheater.com/
Does anyone know what happened to the theater? Upstairs? Downstairs?
Thanks!

replies: text: We could add something on to the end of this sentence in 'History': "During the summer, however, people from all around the city went to Brighton Beach's beach next to the Atlantic Ocean." Alternately, we could add a second sentence just after this one. Either way, it makes sense to use Disco Freddy as an example of the beach's attractions. —Ganesha811 (talk) 13:53, 15 December 2022 (UTC)
