Talk:Bloomfield, New Jersey

Education: 8 Elementary schools. Brookdale, Oak View, Demerast, Carteret, Watsessing, Berekely, Franklin, Fairview. Oak View and Brookdale have better reputations. The middle schools is only OK its nothing special. The high school as gone over a recent renovation and I'm not sure but I believe they are going to allow in a sending/recieving type thing for students of Irvington, East Orange, and maybe Newark.

Proposal to fix whitespace issue
Looking at recent edits, it might be best to expand the History section of the article and move it up above the Demographics section. Many other NJ town articles use this section order to avoid the whitespace that results from keeping the population table tied to the demographics section. While the result of seperating them may look better, it does not make sense to have the population table sitting next to (at my screen resolution) the Government section.

 * Good idea. I've done what you suggested, and stretched the history section slightly without actually adding any information.  This allowed me to move the historical population box up to the second paragraph of the demographics section.  If anyone with any real knowledge of Bloomfield's history adds more information to the history section, the popubox could probably move up to the top of the demographics. Nice suggestion, thanks.

 * Probably not perfect, but a reasonable solution. Alansohn (talk) 17:37, 5 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Looks like this was an old issue so I took the liberty of removing it. I don't see any difference between the non-spaced version and the spaced version now. The spaced version just makes the intro look very strange.--Jersey Devil (talk) 03:47, 27 February 2010 (UTC)

Why do the two clocks on the town hall have dramatically different times? Very strange. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 146.96.32.28 (talk) 16:31, 29 January 2015 (UTC)
