[edit] sub sections

According to http://gis.nyc.gov/nycha/im/AddressMap.do the area in which The Throggs Neck Houses are on is called Schuylerville and the area just south or below it is called Edgewater park. can any one make these into their own articles —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.23.221.70 (talk) 01:49, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] "Frog's Neck"

Up near the top of the article, it says that it's most commonly spelled "Throgg's Neck". Oh, yeah? NYC, born and raised, and NEVER have seen it spelled with two g's. Also, it says "often referred to as "Frogs Neck". Yeah. I used to refer to it as that---- when I was about eight years old. WHO refers to it as "Frogs Neck"? I mean, in addition to pre-adolescents? I decided not to edit it out, but I did put a [citation needed] symbol after it. I wonder how long THAT has been in the article? And NOBODY has noticed it before now??? It seems to me that it's vandalism.Slater79 (talk) 20:27, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Origin of the name Throgs Neck

The article states that the name came from that of John Throckmorton, who settled there in 1642. Following the link, I find that he was 118 years old and 62 years deceased when he arrived there. Fascinating! I knew some accomplished astonishing things in life. I hadn't realized there were others who accomplished so much in death!4.237.44.122 (talk) 03:45, 3 June 2008 (UTC) Steph
