Talk:Beale Street

Untitled

Beale street is not parallel to Front. It intersects with it.

There is much to Beale Street's history that's neglected here, especiallyt he politicla uses of urban renewal to destroy a black cultural center (albeit one with plenty of rough edges) & remake it as a tourist destination. While it's a fun place in it's new guise, it is also pretty much a mickey mouse version of what it once was. I don't have time to correct it now but will try to return and do so over the holidays.

Whoever is doing it, please stop adding incorrect information. Beale Street was NOT named after Edward Fitzgerald Beale!! EF Beale graduated from Naval School in 1842. Beale Avenue was named in 1841. This is not difficult math to understand here, Edward Fitzgerald Beale was not notable enough at the time to get a street named after him! I've seen plenty of places on the web saying this incorrect information, and all of them use Wikipedia as a source for it. But, IT'S WRONG, so stop adding it back! Otto42 13:56, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

The black and white picture is said to have been taken in 1964, but this is wrong. The image itself, when you open it, is dated 1974. The film "Detroit 9000" was only released in 1973 (IMDB). Taking this together with the cars and some of the fashions (the trousers on the woman outside the cinema) 1974 sounds like the right date and 1964 is certainly wrong.

If Beale Street Could Talk

I think it would be beneficial to add a reference to https://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/If_Beale_Street_Could_Talk, although I'm not sure under what section within this article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 147.86.207.12 (talk) 19:47, 27 October 2020 (UTC)
