I have to say though i have been away for decades but as a friend here say's who is also from the city area is. You can take the kid out of the city? But you can never take the city out of the kid Capisce? Lol. I would love to get back and re visit the Bronx. I want to also if possible once i retire is to move either back to the Bronx ? Or move to Salem Mass where i also lived but back in the early 80's. I miss the cultures, wonderful Italian foods Marone ! The foods itself ??? Absolutely second to none.

@nexstory 4 года назад

I grew up in NY during the 1940s and 50's when The Bronx was "The Bronx". For those who grew up during that same time period, you already know what I mean. You just had to be there to live it because trying to describe it would be generationally impossible. It was the center of the universe, or at least it felt that way. With Yankee Stadium, The Bronx Zoo, Jerome Avenue, The Grand Concourse, Fordham Road, Van Courtland Park, Orchid Beach The New York Botanical Gardens and more, The Bronx was a whole continent all to its own. Back then, us kids ruled the streets, the parks, the sidewalks, and the schoolyards, with our mothers all housekeeping at home and our fathers out working five days a week from 9 to 5. Stickball, slug, johnny on the pony, ring o' levio, skully and more, were among the many games and sports we played. Could you today imagine dozens of kids ages four and five playing out on the sidewalks and riding their tricycles up and down completely safe and unsupervised! Each age group from kindergarten up through high school each had their own turf and pecking order of popular and popular friends. Everyone wanted to be a major league baseball player, a scientist, teacher or rock n' roll star. The Bronx back then always scored in the 99 percentile on the SAT's. As teenagers, we would sometimes venture out into the other boroughs, but The Bronx was always our home. Anyway, fondest memories of a world we thought would last forever until the day that it was... gone!

I am a proud Bronx wannabe native for about 30 years though I was born and raised in Brooklyn, moved after my divorce. I loved the Bronx's diversity, it's foods, the beautiful landscape of each neighborhood, it's abundance of breathtaking parks with bird watching, canoing, great hiking and biking trails, antiquated churches and walkable bridges, many highways taking you in every direction. Before the pandemic you had free trollies you can ride, or get tours to Woodlawn cemetery where Celia, jazz musicians and famous people are resting. My favorite is walking under the number 6 train along Westchester Ave where you find the coolest art murals on buildings, garage doors walls restaurants. I am quick to defend any nay sayers when putting down the Bronx. I am proud to say I live in the Bronx. . I

Some other neat facts: The Grand Concourse was patterned after the Champs Elysee in Paris,it is why it is so wide. The apartment buildings on it were luxury housing in the pre war period, lot of those buildings had marble interiors, sunken living rooms and floor to ceiling windows. When my dad was growing up in the Bronx (he would be 98 if he was alive today) they used to call it Jewish fifth Ave, a lot of well off Jewish folks had high end apartments there,co ops and rental, bc before WWII Jews were not allowed to live in buildings on Park or 5th Avenue due to discrimination. Before the second world war the Bronx still had farms (what is called west farms square today was farms),used to be farms along gun hill road. The northeast part of the Bronx was relatively unbuilt up.until after WWII What is now Bronx Community college was once the uptown campus of NYU,actually was its main campus. It included a school of engineering that developed a lot of key technology for the military in WWII. NYU sold it to the city in the early 70s when they were forced by a financial crisis to consolidate downtown. Ironically,the engineering school merged w Brooklyn Poly, and around 10 yrs ago NYU took over Poly. Back in the day NYU was a div 1 basketball powerhouse.That campus had like 80,000 students.unlike today NYU back.then was aimed at helping students from working class backgrounds to go to college, it wasn't the overpriced pseudo ivy it pretends to be today. The Marble Hill section of the Bronx,which is across the Henry Hudson parkway from Riverdale, was once part of Manhattan. At one point they rerouted the Harlem river and most of the neighborhood ended up.in the Bronx. The Bronx was once part of Westchester county,then was together with Manhattan Until 1898 until it became a borough of greater NY The old TV show 'car 54 where are you' was filmed and set in the South Bronx ( I am sure you can stream it). It was filmed in the streets in the area and also there was a tv studio called Biograph studios where the interior scenes were shot,I think it was 161st street. Looking at it it is sad to realize that within 10 years the whole South Bronx would become the symbol of urban decay. Louis Tiffany, the famous stained glass artisan,had a studio in the Bronx where a lot of his works were created The trees along the Bronx River in the Botanical Garden is one of only 2 old growth forests left in NYC ( the other one is along the Henry Hudson parkway at the top of Manhattan. The Bronx was one of the largest manufacturing hubs in the world Hunts point was home to everything from iron foundries to a mint that.made coins for foreign countries as well as wire makers,furniture,customized steel, furniture. The rail yards and dicks there were busy 24 hours a day. Port Morris in the deep south Bronx was like that as well. General Colin Powell was a Bronx guy,graduated from Morris High ,(same school my mom graduated from in the early 40s and a great uncle graduated from as part of it's first graduating class in 1900

The Bronx Wherever I go, I carry the pride of my borough. Even when there's days when I get irritated with noise, traffic, and crime, I still have a mindset where I have a responsibility to represent where I come from. Some people like to look down on it. I like proving them wrong with success, and that I'm not a product of my environment perse, but neighborly and goal oriented. No matter where I go, it's a place that gives you courage, confidence and life lessons. It's hard to explain.

I lived in Cayuga Avenue in the Riverdale area of "The Bronx" for more than three (3) years. What you failed to mention , no criticism is why it is called The Bronx. Here is why: Back in the 1600 hundres there was a family that emigrated from Holland to the borough we are talking about. Needless to say it was a very wealthy family, and he decided the purchase the entire county of The Bronx, since land was extremely cheap. The name of the gentleman who purchased it was Jonas Bronck. So when the rellatives and friends went to visit them they would say : Let's go visit the Broncks, from one generation to another it became The Bronx. Hope you share it with your followers. P.S. I lived for over 40 years in New-York city and Nassau county. I really Love New-York. Alvaro

Nice! When my brother played pony league baseball back in the 70s they had games at the ballfields Bronx Park East near I believe Allerton Ave (or was it Pelham Parkway? 🤷🏽‍♀️😊), I used to go exploring down by the BX river. It was a beautiful natural spot to hang out in as a child. I also remember seeing fish in the river once when hanging by the river but near the park up by E232nd st. in the early 80s. I was happily surprised because I had thought the river was too dirty for fish to live there. But glad to know it’s being tended to.

He also played at Allerton ball field but I think I mostly recall the one off Webster Ave not too far from the Metro North stop area, or the general vicinity (Botanical Gardens I think) - It was a long time ago. (As an aside, and I’m not sure if I’m the “b” in your previous comment about something being a “lie”, - and if I am wrong about that and what I’m thinking you’re referring to, then my bad and please do disregard - but, I did occasionally see fish in the Bx River. I was surprised b/c I also thought the water was too dirty. And at the risk of making this long response even longer, ☺️ I found a 2019 Washington Post article about the Bx River and despite its history of being polluted/toxic (it’s a bit cleaner now compared to what it was), small fish do live in the waters. (And as it turns out, snapping turtles!). I found the article here www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/kidspost/snapping-turtles-help-scientists-figure-out-how-clean-the-bronx-river-is/2019/08/13/33896b56-9db2-11e9-b27f-ed2942f73d70_story.html

I was born in the Old Lincoln Hospital at Bruckner and Southern Boulevards 68 years ago. It was built in 1868 as a retirement home for ex-slaves. I grew up with the elevated train right outside my window. It was a real conversation stopper. I went to P.S. 50, J.H.S. 98, and Bronx Science. The Bronx in the 50's was a very diverse place to grow up. There were all kinds of people, and for the most part, we all got along very well.

As a Bronx native, my funniest memory was travelling through western Europe where for some reason most of the locals we drank or ate with thought we must be so tough to live where Bonfire of the Vanities is set. Kept asking if I had stabbed or shot anyone, or had I suffered these assaults. had great laughs watching their faces when I would teach them the true beauty of The Bronx. ie. Landmarks like Dykeman House, the VanCortlandt manor house. and more 17th to 18th century historic locals. Love Da Bronx Through and Through!!!!

Borough The Bronx gets its name from the family that owned it - Bronks. When people were going to visit the family on their farm ( their farm was the entire Bronx) , they’d say ‘I’m going to the Bronks’ that’s why we say ‘The Bronx’

@JoseMorales-lw5nt 4 года назад

Actually, our borough gets the article THE Bronx due to Jonas Bronc originally settling his farm and house along the main river. Today, we know it as The Bronx River! Since the borough is named for this Dutch settler, and he chose the convenience of building along a river, the later settlers bestowed this region with the same title. All rivers are referred to by the article 'the'. The Mississippi, the Colorado, the Hudson, and thus The Bronx!

We lost 80% of our buildings in the South Bronx. It was crazy!! My mom came home one night and the landlord literally told her.. the building is finished!! He left!! The building was massive and absolutely beautiful. They don’t build apartments with space like that anymore. The whole block literally died overnight. Even in those hard times we were able to be happy!! We did create a strong sense of community and friendship with our family, friends and neighbors. They always tried to help one another. I still have wonderful memories of those times.

The name Salsa, actually came from a Venezuelan show called “La hora de la salsa” where people like Willie Colon, Ruben Blade, Celia Cruz, Oscar Leon, would perform.

You forgot WoodLawn a very distinct and the most northern neighborhood in The Bronx. Woodlawn, also known as Woodlawn Heights, is a predominantly Irish-American working class neighborhood at the very north end of the borough of the Bronx in New York City. It is bounded by McLean Avenue to the north, the Bronx River to the east, Woodlawn Cemetery to the south, and Van Cortlandt Park to the west. My dad and grandparents were born there.

@Ann12681 9 месяцев назад

I lived in Woodlawn for many years. It was little Ireland. Many of the Irish in the neighborhood are from Ireland and not American born. You can go to a bakery sit down ,have a good cup of tea with a scone or Irish soda bread. Irish accents were more common than New York accents and there were pubs galore. It was an old fashioned neighborhood that seemed like a small town in Ireland.

Another hidden secret is the old subway tunnel that runs under the neighborhood called Highbridge. When I was very young my mom took me on the 2 car train called the Shuttle. It ran from 161st Yankee Stadium under our neighborhood and popped out the other side where it crossed a bridge over the Harlem river and terminated at the site of the old Polo Grounds (Giants). The bridge is gone now but the tunnel is still there waiting to scare kids with it's pitched black insides. They probably tore out the tracks now but we we first ventured inside there were these metal boxes that were placed between the rails and if you didn't carry a good flashlight you would wined up tripping over them which produced skinned legs and knees. We loved playing in it as kids and it had hidden rooms and different levels. If you look hard you can find the entrances and rail fans have visited long after we were gone.
