What is "riverdale"

Riverdale may refer to:

Riverdale is the fictional setting for most of the characters that appear in Archie Comics. Riverdale's exact placement in the United States is uncertain, as conflicting details have been given over the years in the comics as to its location.

Riverdale is a historic home located at Odessa, New Castle County, Delaware. It was built about 1840, and consists of the four-bay-wide, single-room-deep rectangular core of the house with a 22-foot, two-story "L"-shaped extension. Both sections have gable roofs. Also on the property is the site of a number of demolished outbuildings.

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.

Riverdale is an upcoming American teen drama television series based on the characters by Archie Comics. It has been ordered to series at The CW and is scheduled to air during the 2016–17 television season, coinciding with the Archie character's 75th anniversary. The pilot is set to premiere around January or February of 2017 and is written by Archie Comics' chief creative officer Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa and executive produced by Greg Berlanti.

Riverdale is a Canadian prime time soap opera which ran for three seasons (from 1997 to 2000).

The series was set in the Toronto community of Riverdale, which had the reputation of being home to many CBC employees at the time. It focused on a variety of characters and their interactions in everyday life. 94 half-hour episodes were produced.

Riverdale was developed by the producers of the British soap opera Coronation Street and produced by Epitome Pictures Inc. in association with CBC Television. Riverdale was the first soap to play in primetime on CBC since Dallas several years earlier.

The Riverdale (also known as Riverdale – West 254th Street) Metro-North Railroad station serves the residents of the Riverdale neighborhood via the Hudson Line. Trains leave for New York City every 25 to 35 minutes on weekdays. It about 12.2 miles from Grand Central Terminal and travel time to Grand Central is about 26 minutes. After Mount Saint Vincent station at West 261st Street was closed in 1979, it became the northernmost station on the Hudson Line in the Bronx.

Just south of the station are switches that allow Empire Corridor trains to diverge to Pennsylvania Station via the Spuyten Duyvil Bridge and the Empire Connection.

As of August 2006, daily commuter ridership was 543 and there were 153 parking spaces.

Next to the station's southbound platform lies the Riverdale Waterfront Promenade and Fishing Access Site. Dedicated in 2005, by Mayor Michael Bloomberg, the park "is wide and long, providing benches and a place to fish or take a stroll between Metro-North train tracks and the Hudson shoreline."

Riverdale was a provincial riding in Ontario, Canada that existed from 1914 to 1999. It occupied an area east of the Don River from the city limits just north of Danforth Avenue south to Lake Ontario. It was named after the neighbourhood of Riverdale. In 1999 a major reduction in Ontario seats resulted in Riverdale being merged with part of East York into a larger riding called Broadview-Greenwood.

The 1964 by-election in this riding is well known for being among the first elections in Canadian history where a party (the NDP) used door to door canvassing and a get out the vote effort.

Located adjacent to the Arkansas River, Riverdale is a neighborhood of Little Rock, Arkansas, situated in the north-central area of the city. It lies to the northeast and at a lower elevation from Pulaski Heights, and to the northwest of downtown.

Riverdale contains a considerable amount of warehouses in the eastern part of the neighborhood, served by Union Pacific rail lines that travel through the area. The warehouse section is flanked on the east by the corporate headquarters of Dillard's Department Stores, and is noted for a couple of larger gay nightclubs, Discovery and Triniti, as well as the landmark restaurant and bar, Cajun's Wharf, one of many such businesses with a long presence in Little Rock.

The neighborhood progresses westward toward shopping areas, office complexes, and upscale residential communities. Part of the lure to Riverdale in recent years for shoppers has been an increased emphasis on design-oriented businesses, with retailers offering antiques, ceramics, fine fabrics, plants and specialty lighting fixtures. Accompanying these shops is a popular mix of restaurants skewing toward Southern and Italian cuisine.

Beyond shopping venues, soccer fields and corporate towers inch the neighborhood toward the riverfront. Regional headquarters for telecommunications providers Verizon Communications and Windstream Communications, as well as the non-profit service organization Winrock International, are among the companies whose executives broker deals here. A combination of gated communities, apartments and condominiums buffer the corporate corridor from Rebsamen Golf Course, the city's largest public golf course, and Murray Park to the far west along Riverfront Drive.

Riverdale is a historic plantation house near Selma, Dallas County, Alabama. Architectural historians consider it to be "most elegant and refined house of its period in Dallas County." The two-story wood-frame house was built in the Federal-style in 1829. It is five bays wide, with a two-tiered, pedimented portico spanning the central bay. It was built by Virgil H. Gardner, a native of Jones County, Georgia, for his bride, Margaret Loise Aylett of Virginia. Their daughter, Mary Gardner, was married in the house in 1854 to Henry Quitman, son of former Mississippi governor John A. Quitman.

Following the deaths of Virgil and Margaret Gardner during the 1880s, the plantation was purchased by W. P. Watts. Houston Alexander sold the house and roughly of the property in 1961 to the Hammermill Paper Company. The company offered to donate the house to the local historical society on the condition that it be moved. The former plantation site is now the location of International Paper's Riverdale Mill, built in 1965. The house was added to National Register of Historic Places on September 10, 1979. It was disassembled and moved during the 1980s to a site off Alabama State Route 22.
