Chestnut Ridge
Hi, I am suggesting some revisions of your changes to this article at Talk:Chestnut Ridge. Could you have a look and tell me if you think these are reasonable? Thanks. hgilbert (talk) 02:13, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

Hey, Harlan. It's Julie G-S. It had to be someone you knew, right? While I believe you are correct that there are many different cultures and communities represented in Chestnut Ridge, I believe that the largest influence on the culture is the Anthroposophical community. I got the idea from looking at the entry for Monsey, which includes a short section on culture and mentions Chassidism as a major influence. Obviously, Anthroposophy is not as predominant in CR as Chassidism is in Monsey, but it is certainly true that we are not a typical bedroom community in the metro area. Given the number of residents of CR who are here because of these institutions, I believe it deserved a mention. However, that is my opinion, and Wikipedia is not supposed to be about opinions. You seem to be a very involved Wikipedian, so I will leave it to your judgment. Julibrarian (talk) 01:52, 11 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Hi, I thought "Julibrarian" might be you. Perhaps it would be good to represent the range and indicate which groups are strongest as well. I'd love to have a source for this... Hasn't some cultural anthropologist studied our village yet? Best wishes, hgilbert (talk) 09:45, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
