Given the results of the recent school referendum the staff of the Ridgewood blog is wondering if there really is a West side (vs) East side mentality in Ridgewood ?
Our “East side” friends claim they only became aware of this gulf at RHS or if as kids we were involved in joint Village activities like Ridgewood Football or Ridgewood baseball /soft ball. There seemed to be a certain level of favoritism. However some of our “West side” friends have asserted that it is a “West side ” institution to assume that the “East side ” is the wrong side of the tracks sorta speak and if you want to test the waters just mention ‘school redistricting” at any “West side” cocktail party.
