Talk:Breuckelen

I thought Atlanta was Hollywood? Has there been a change? BoArthur 10:51, 10 February 2006 (PST)

And i thought Breuckelen is part of New Amsterdam, like *here*! Steg 3:30pmEST, 10 February 2006

I suggested that Atlanta was the equivalent of Hollywood, and the idea was greated with insistence (logical IMO) that the movie industry probably was firmly established in New Amsterdam and Chicago as well. This article reflects that idea. Likewise somebody (don't recall who) included in the article on New Amsterdam that Breuckelen was not incorporated into "The Big Orange."

As for Breuckelen, I was under that impression as well from the conversation that went on at Sescam. BoArthur 17:11, 10 February 2006 (PST)

I'm going with what was written in the original article. In fact, Bo, you were the one who included the information about Breuckelen not being incorporated into New Amsterdam on 27 September 2005. Zahir 18:34, 10 February 2006 (PST)

Well, good Dr. Zahir, that explains everything. :) ~~

Errrm... i don't see why we're just going with this Breuckelen not being part of New Amsterdam thing if it was a random idea by one person, against the pre-existing general consensus. Steg Boroparkpyro 08:43, 17 February 2006 (PST)

Flag

While it is quite common for first level subnational entities (states, provinces, etc...) to use defaced colonial flag, I know of no municipality that have ever done so. The reason is that colonial ensigns were flown by ships under the colonial authorities and as they obtained more autonomy, they retained it.

Municipalities, because their flags are most of the time restricted to decorations, usualy come in designs such as banner-of-arms or logo/sceal/arms of a plain field (often with the name to make sure). If you want to show that the city is linked with Cambria, you could instead incorporate one of its emblem: dragons as supporters, a saint-david cross (yellow on black) or the leek.

Okay. I'll re-design. Zahir 16:03, 10 February 2006 (PST)

I thought the lady would make a good signature image for a movie company, similar to the woman with the torch *here*. -AndrewSmith.

Heh. She probably would at that. However, she's the central image of the seal of the burough of Brooklyn *here*. Zahir 19:54, 10 February 2006 (PST)

Just to be picky, maybe the dragons should be red like the cambrian ones (field could then be white or gold) --Marc Pasquin 06:34, 11 February 2006 (PST)

I tried lots of variations and this is the one that looked most "right" to me. By way of justification, I'm assuming that Breuckeleners are probably just as onery and individualistic as Brooklynites. Zahir 07:40, 11 February 2006 (PST)

Nascent Film Industry?

Is it truly nascent, or has it existed for some time now? Especially with silent movie stars? BoArthur 17:12, 10 February 2006 (PST)

Had a feeling that was worded a little awkwardly. What I was trying to convey was that Breuckelen was the home of the NAL film industry when it was nascent, not that it still is in that state. I figured that the huge chunks of Brooklyn that were demolished *here* to make room for freeways would instead have gone to make motion picture studios, back lots, etc. *there* with movie stars enjoying the nearby beaches of the Rockaways, the convenience of the Aerodromes and the posh communities of Long Island (the IB equivalent of Beverly Hills, methought). Zahir 18:34, 10 February 2006 (PST)

Walk of Fame?

Just a thought. Do you think Breuckelen would have an equivalent to Hollywood's Walk of Fame? Zahir 09:05, 14 February 2006 (PST)

Why not? Breuckelen seems a great deal more classy than Atlanta, and it would be fitting to have it exist *there*! BoArthur

North American Polders?

Would there have been a reason, even in modern times for there to be polders in Nieuw Amsterdaam? BoArthur 22:34, 11 February 2006 (PST)

Daffyd

How Welsh a name can you get? The Cambrian, apparently, is Dewidd. --Quentin 12:37, 30 September 2006 (PDT)

I agree, it should be the Cambrian version, not David. BoArthur 08:26, 8 March 2016 (PST)

Why Cambrian? Breuckelen seems to be a Dutch borough. The Dutch version of David is, well, David. Juan Martin Velez Linares 10:33, 8/3/2016 (CST)
