From Wikipedia:
The South Bronx is an area of the New York City borough of the Bronx. The area comprises neighborhoods in the southern part of the Bronx, such as Concourse, Mott Haven, Melrose, and Port Morris.
In the early 1900s, the South Bronx was originally known as the Manor of Morrisania, as it was the manor of Lewis Morris. As the Morris family continued to expand on the land, an influx of German and Irish immigrants started to populate the area, leading the Bronx to be considered the "Jewish Borough" in the 1930s. This soon changed as World War II caused rent to increase in many apartments, pushing people out. By the end of the 1950s, the South Bronx was two-thirds African American or Hispanic (of any race).
The South Bronx is known for its hip hop culture and graffiti. Graffiti became popular in the Bronx in the early 1970s, spreading through the New York City Subway system. The South Bronx then became musically notable as hip-hop music, rap, and other creative components started becoming common within the borough.

Few could imagine how different this area looked 50 years ago ... in not a better way. 🤠

[@leecornwell5632]

You know why the south Bronx Thrid Avenue it's not better anymore is because they torn down the Thrid Avenue Elevated line. They have those buses running like crazy.

I never was in the South Bronx, it was more nicer than I thought it would be. Thanks for the ride.

The South Bronx got its bad reputation from the days of the 1970's and 80's, when many of the old apartment buildings went up in flames, and there were vacant lots everywhere. It looked like a war zone. Criminals even tried to burn down one of the elevated train stations (Intervale Avenue on the #2 and 5 Lines). Then in the 1990's they started to turn things around by building rows of private homes where the vacant lots used to be, and the area started to slowly become civilized again.

I grew up in the Bronx until about when my parents passed then I moved to Queens. I still believe It is not where you live, but how you live. Amazing times and just seeing people live their lives. With Family, Saturdays were always like a family reunion, a celebration. I mean, Good is Always good and bad is bad. Dharma and Karma and all that stuff. But life is the most precious gift as an experience to your soul. Precious and Amazing, Always try to make people feel good. Just try. Lol. One Love !

[@jamesdelornhowlandjr.6516]

I used to live on Tinton Avenue in the South Bronx. I used to live on the West Bronx and Northeast Bronx. I moved to Hertford North Carolina. I moved to Philadelphia Pennsylvania and now I live in Darby Pennsylvania. I do miss New York City 🏙️. A lot has changed since I left New York City 🏙️. These has been a lot of new businesses there and some new apartments there.

I love how i start this video, and start going "this looks weirdly familiar" before remembering i lived on that very same block and took the East 149th st station daily for so many years before i moved to east harlem 😭😭

[@EdGoPlaces]

😍I love the BX drive thru perspective. I also do videos of The Bronx but slightly different plus mainly on foot.

[@wcacique39]

That is the old block. I used to live at 150th St and Union Ave Power Rulers turf.

[@JimAllen-Persona]

You went by the House that Ruth Built and didn’t even put in the title? I’m a Mets fan and I still show respect for the Yankees. The stadium is a shrine.

[@MileageMikeTravels]
