Also I'd argue "The Waterfront" is meaningless as it it subdivides pretty quickly. And if that's the only sub division of downtown it does seem more than a bit arbitrary. Lumping it all in as Down Town is fine, but peeling that one part off is sorta weird. If anything Newport has a history of being "not downtown, we're our own thing" since the redevelopment from industrial to a neighborhood.

I agree that Newport deserves a spot but you then you can go down a rabbit hole of saying well what about Harborside, what about Harsimus Cove, etc.

And I agree, that was my only point in bringing up "the waterfront." It's the only downtown neighborhood listed on this shirt, which seems odd. Paulus Hook existed before downtown existed. If there was only one to separate out, I think it should be Paulus Hook. But certainly the case could be made for more. Newport would be next for me.
