The Bronx

I took the Bronx culture trolley yesterday to explore some of the art being made in the Bronx. The trolley was free and it is an initiative by the Bronx council to bring people into the area. The Bronx is an area which has had no major financial investment made in it since the 1950's. It is like stepping back in time. It is also an area where many illigal immigrants and artists live. There has been a lot of debate in the News about the move to invest in the area. A new Yankee Stadium is being planned but this will mean the swllowing up of one of the only parks in the Bronx where people can have space to breath. Also many of the imigrants will be displaced and whole communities will be lost. The Bronx has also the highest incidence of repiratory problems in the whole of the US. I had a great evening out. The art was varied but the company was excellent.
