Talk:New Brunswick, New Jersey

message: I was going to start a new section for the "Charles in Charge" myth, but it seemed appropriate to put it here. The 1980s sitcom "Charles in Charge" was purported to take place in EAST Brunswick, though it was never stated outright exactly where they lived. It was said that Charles attended Rutgers, but that hardly restricts his residence to New Brunswick. He lived with and was "in charge" of some upper-middle class kids, who seemed to be attending public school. It hardly makes sense that they would be living in New Brunswick, which was economically even worse at the time than it is now. George St. isn't and wasn't a place for an upper middle class family. Though a few pockets of nice homes exist, it still doesn't fit the mold. East Brunswick is much more plausible, and in any case it is not definitive, and not encyclopedic, so can't be placed in the New Brunswick article. Njsustain (talk) 06:19, 3 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Thank you for the quick reference. The question now is relevance. Does one passing remark tacked on at the end of the series make this a relevant aspect of New Brunswick in "popular culture"? I vote no.Njsustain (talk) 10:49, 23 December 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: By that reasoning, the whole Pop Culture section should be nixed. I recently have been able to watch Season 5 of the series. When I am able to watch the previous seasons, perhaps I will find even more references to New Brunswick, or there maybe the show will be inconsistent about it's setting.211.218.87.77 (talk) 11:24, 23 December 2009 (UTC)

text: I have been watching the remaining seasons of Charles in Charge, and New Brunswick was referenced at least once a season.211.218.87.77 (talk) 13:54, 31 December 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Like many fictional uses of real places (e.g. Pittsburgh falsely shown as having a large gay community in "Queer as Folk") this is a fantasy use of New Brunswick, NJ. It is not and was not then a place for upper-middle or even middle-class white people, and hasn't been since the mid 1960s. The fact that the producers picked it out as the "official" location of the show is truly random, probably simply having looked up where Rutgers is located, doing no real research on the community. In any case I still don't think this is an example of New Brunswick influencing pop culture, or vice-versa, and I therefore don't think it is relevant enough to be included in the article.Njsustain (talk) 14:07, 31 December 2009 (UTC)

message: Started writing out the history stuff, will add more. Sectstubs indicating where.  Revitalization should also include (1) Rutgers College Avenue Campus greening project, (2) Hurricane Floyd flooding (3) Route 18 redevelopments.  Also discussion about Washington and Hamilton's retreat, General Howe in the Revolution, perhaps some on the Dutch Reformed folks in NB and their impact on the Great Awakening movement. Also, railroads (Vanderbilt, etc.) —ExplorerCDT 00:53, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Edits esp. regarding history

message: I always thought that New Brunswick (both in the US as well as in Canada) is derived from a Dutch man called 'Van Bruynswijck'. That would make a lot of sence, since the Dutch were one of the first Europeans who claimed land in the US-states we now know as New York and New Jersey, together with the Swedes. So no Germans. Other examples of words derived from Dutch people, cities or other typical Ducth things are Harlem (named after Haarlem, a city in the Netherlands), Brooklyn (named after Breukelen, both a place and a last name in the Netherlands) and Staten Island (named after the Dutch 'Staten Generaal', the Dutch parliament). So what is the truth involving the name Brunswick? --84.104.123.100 12:29, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Bot report : Found duplicate references ! 

message: The music section clearly has a lot of original research, is written overly casually, and has almost no references. It is also of questionable encyclopedic importance. I don't see this section being maintained at the same level as the rest of the article so rather than have an ongoing struggle with it, I propose creating a separate article "New Brunswick, NJ music scene" which can take on its own quality level and style.
:As no one is responding, and the section seems to be becoming only more non-encyclopedic and opinionated, I will soon be creating the separate article if no other comments come forth.Njsustain (talk) 10:34, 17 February 2010 (UTC)
