Talk:Jackson Heights, Queens

message: Since when has Jackson Heights been a gay village? I know they have a growing gay population, but the area certainly does not cater specifically to the gay community. Darkcore 02:07, 16 Dec 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: I have removed the line in the trivia page about the gay population of Jackson Heights because it's unverifiable.  aliceinlampyland 10:25, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

message: I changed the entry in the first paragraph where it said Jackson Heights is "12.2 miles(19.8 km) northeast of midtown. Via google maps I calculated at 6.8 mile (10.9 km) walking distance from Jackson Heights east (not northeast) to midtown. Don't know if this is an approved method of verifying distance between two neighborhoods, but this distance is definitely much more accurate than what what in there before. If someone knows a better way to provide evidence of where Jackson Heights is in relation to midtown, please feel free to change what I did.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.201.133.35 (talk) 19:56, 30 March 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  Distance from midtown 

message: In this article, it would be nice to have an official (heck, even an estimated) total population of the neighborhood; a rough idea of its size (either in acres or city blocks); and some sort of map showing its relationship to other parts of Queens or where it fits in NYC Jolomo 15:29, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

message: How can Jackson Heights and Elmhurst both be "the most ethnically diverse neighborhood/community in the world"?
Also, the music in Jackson HTS is not "Pakistani and Bengali" it's HINDI lol. Get that right. 
And it's not referred to as "Little Pakistan". It is and was always referred to as "Little India". Who wrote this article?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mujjuman (talk • contribs) 22:09, 13 April 2011 (UTC)

message: Why does that second picture say Jackson Heights when its CLEARLY a picture of Corona. The picture shows 114th to about Junction boulevard. Im removing the picture.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 151.202.97.179 (talk) 00:28, 16 October 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Picture 

message: Edward Bernays, in his book Propaganda (1928) pgs 56-57 cites the creation of Jackson Heights as an important example of his new idea (at the time) of the new concept of Public Relations. This then is an important part of the its history which is missing from the page. Curiously the prior pages describe another project, to include music rooms in new homes in order to stimulate demand for pianos. It would be interesting to know if this was also played out in Jackson Heights.

message: This was the "Earle" until it became a Bollywood theater.  (My dad used to take me there to see Tom & Jerry cartoons long before it became a porn theater.)  Kostaki mou (talk) 16:57, 27 January 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  Eagle Theater 

message: The Jackson Heights Theater was originally named the Colony.  There was a fifth theater, the Boulevard, on Northern Boulevard and 83rd.  I believe this is also now a food court.  I will check on this.  Kostaki mou (talk) 23:51, 28 January 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: It was on 83rd Street, not 82nd, as I originally stated.  It is now a Latin-American restaurant under the same name.  Kostaki mou (talk) 15:49, 1 February 2016 (UTC)

It looks like this has been copied from what was on the page in the view-only mode, rather than adding new content. Therefore, it is redundant and I have removed it. I'll work on restoring the edits that were intended to be made based on this addition. epicgenius (talk) 20:34, 27 March 2019 (UTC)
