Talk:Bridgetown

message: The population estimate of the metropolitan area of Bridgtown shoul also be stated in the article est (census 2000) at 110,000 persons.
:: The population estimate is way off -- it was in this article I think from the beginning...  *gasp*  I haven't come across any new census figures, and the Barbados government is still re-doing a bulk of their websites over.  **As a side note** I'm also waiting on those new census figures to put in the templates for each of the parishes of Barbados.  None the less, it appears Bridgetown is growing at a rapid pace.  The Barbados Tourism Authority claims Bridgetown is I believe at or around 90,000 people.  But I think since last elections they did a redistricting of areas (which may? or may not? include re-defining the boundaries of "Bridgetown" too???)
Things aren't really very cleanly defind in Barbados.  The problem one has in Barbados is you can be driving along, and then end up exiting one "village" and enter the next and you'd never really know...  Also I heard the Barbados Postal Service was saying they were going to roll out a programme of "Zip Codes".  Any idea if that came out yet?  I was hoping when that's done it will define areas on the island better with an increased sense of clarity.

message: I got a hold of the book "Historic Bridgetown" -- by ALLEYNE, WARREN and the Barbados National Trust...
On the cover of the book it bears the official Armorial Bearings of the City of Bridgetown(Coat of Arms)... At the bottom of the coat of arms it reads in Latin: "EX•IGINIBUS•PREAETERITIS•RESURGAMUS•AD•LUMEN".
Does anyone know what this means in Latin? CaribDigita (talk) 04:49, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

message: I see on this article on this and the Tobias Bridge article that Bridgetown was named after him and outside of one lone source i cannot find any other information that corroborates this claim at all. Are we sure that's correct? It quite frankly sounds made up to me. The A-Z of Barbados Heritage book for instance makes no mention of Tobias Bridge at all.

replies: text: I never heard of him. I added a ref. I could find about him.  But I don't know a thing about him. Not sure if any old UK academic papers have more about him too. CaribDigita (talk) 00:30, 19 April 2023 (UTC)

replies: text: I am in-different.  I have no idea the credibility of the idea. It's a concept that probably needs to be examined and researched to find if it is true. I cannot say whether it is 'fake', but I also cannot say whether true because I don't know enough about it. CaribDigita (talk) 02:12, 19 April 2023 (UTC)
