I'm looking for residents past or present living in Ridgewood for an interview on research paper?

Looking for past or present residents of Ridgewood for a research project I'm working on. Would like to know how they feel about the neighborhood; what are the likes and dislikes about Ridgewood; what they would like to see in Ridgewood; is there anything they missed in Ridgewood; (for those who lived in Ridgewood before 1979) how do you identify yourself when living in Ridgewood did you identify yourself as living in Queens or Brooklyn?
