January 14, 201312 yr Great pictures, thank you. My perception of the Bronx had always been negative, but having explored it a bit, I've found that there are a lot of nice areas in the borough. I especially love your pictures of the Henry Hudson Bridge
January 14, 201312 yr I spoke about these area's in your other thread. Great pictures, thank you. My perception of the Bronx had always been negative, but having explored it a bit, I've found that there are a lot of nice areas in the borough. I especially love your pictures of the Henry Hudson Bridge It is negative. However, as told to me by Thing 2, a Bronx native, "(In the Bronx) anything West of Broadway is nice, the rest of the Bronx is environmental waste filled with sub standard human housing."

However, as told to me by Thing 2, a Bronx native, "(In the Bronx) anything West of Broadway is nice, the rest of the Bronx is environmental waste filled with sub standard human housing." From my experience, I'd say that's pretty much accurate, albeit a bit extreme haha
January 14, 201312 yr I wouldn't say that. City Island isn't exactly an "environmental waste filled with sub standard human housing." "You don't just walk into a bar and mix it up by calling a girl fat" - buildingcincinnati speaking about new forumers
January 14, 201312 yr Sure, City Island is technically in the Bronx, but I don't know maybe people who would consider it part of the "Bronx." It's such a separate entity.
January 14, 201312 yr I wouldn't say that. City Island isn't exactly an "environmental waste filled with sub standard human housing." I wouldn't either, but I'm not a life long resident. Thing I think City Island is working class neighborhood.

Sure, but I'm sure those same people don't consider Shaker Square to be in the City of Cleveland.

January 15, 201312 yr I would've never known these areas existed in the Bronx, until now! Nice pictures!
January 15, 201312 yr Looks dead-on like North Avondale in Cincinnati, if the hi-rises over on Madison Rd. at Delta were shifted to Reading at Mitchell.
January 15, 201312 yr ^I was thinking where E. Walnut Hills meets Hyde Park, which would mean we're both thinking of the same stretch of Madison. I feel every born-and-raised Ohioan should see the East Coast as a youth. It makes perfect sense to the educated and the logical that Ohio and the East Coast are extremely similar in terms of architectural style, but unfortunately that's a small section of the general populace. Maybe if Ohioans understood that Boston's Victorian accents aren't much different from Columbus' or Cincinnati's, many of the large white duplexes and mansions of Providence, NJ and NY are close to Cleveland's, and that the fringes and surrounding towns of the large East Coast cities are mostly identical to Cincinnati's, there wouldn't be such an inferiority complex.
January 15, 201312 yr Great pictures, thank you. My perception of the Bronx had always been negative, but having explored it a bit, I've found that there are a lot of nice areas in the borough. I especially love your pictures of the Henry Hudson Bridge I plan on doing Pelham Bay , Woodlawn and Botanical Gardens by April , and its a shame the Henry Hudson Bridge walkway was closed for renovations otherwise I would have taken some nice pictures.
January 15, 201312 yr >there wouldn't be such an inferiority complex. I agree, I wish every school district sent their high schoolers on a trip to New York and another to Los Angeles, and to include guided architectural tours in those trips. Instead the lower class never sees mountains, beaches, or big cities in their lifteimes, and the middle class is seduced by tourist traps like Gatlinburg or Hilton Head at best.

These areas aren't that far off from Manhattan yet its rare to see tourists. The only reason I go to these places or through them is to see friends.... There nice hidden gems , with nice people not rude New Yorkers like you'll find around the tourist areas but they'll say hello and acknowledge your thier. From Grand Central or Penn Station to any of these hidden gems that ive showed you is about 15mins....by subway its longer but its not that far. Its a shame that most tourists would rather see overpriced crap marketed to their likeness then the old or real New York... Most of the Lower Class in this region thanks to the huge transit network is exposed and do take trips to the beach or mountains...for a day or 2.... The Rockaways , Asbury Park , Long Beach are the Working class-Lower class beachs...

That not necessarily true, especially for the quality of those above beaches and the fact that you must pay, such as Asbury Park, to enter the beach.

Its 5$ , if you take the train or bus select towns and beaches allow free entry.
January 15, 201312 yr Nice pictures. Thanks. I've ridden the train through there a few times, including back when Amtrak went into Grand Central prior to 1990. Looks dead-on like North Avondale in Cincinnati, if the hi-rises over on Madison Rd. at Delta were shifted to Reading at Mitchell. And if Cincy had some rail transit! :-P "In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage." -- John Steinbeck

True However most people only go a few days , maybe a week and that Transit discount makes it cheaper.... 1.6 Million took advantage of it last summer....i'm sure this season will the Sandy recover in full swing they try even more. However most in this region now fear the Beach due to Raw/untreated Sewage that was mixed into the sand and the other toxic waste that sandy threw onto the beach and bay...

I dont recall the beach being free, all the time, if you rode New Jersey Transit and I went to Asbury, Cape May and a few beach in NJ (Shhhh...don't tell anyone) this past summer. I know it was a special for August thru labor day, but not the entire summer or time you can use the beach. Considering some people go to the beach in early may thru late September.
