Took a stroll in the old hood a couple of years back.
This is in the Grand Concourse area of the Bronx.
Not bad in the day, but at night, watch out! :)

The apartments in this area are amazing; huge rooms,
beautiful architecture. The area changed so much during
the 70's and 80's and drugs, and crime became the name of the game.
I have lots of stories to tell you, including being robbed
by thieves using doberman pinschers, but that's for another day.

The area appears to be undergoing renovation, and things
look better, but not anywhere near its glory days. Still,
I could not help, but feel nostalgic walking the area.

Note: Could've cropped a little tighter, yes, but I kept
it wide, I think it has more impact in this image.
