Memories of Da' Bronx

Do ya remember growing up, living, or visiting the Bronx, or greater New York City area? African Americans and Latino Americans, particularly Puerto Rican immigration, social-political forces, as well as upheavals in the 1950s and 1960s, would change the Borough. This diverse demographic immigrant population infusion would contribute to the Salsa music movement and Hip-Hop origins. Unfortunately, later, crime and urban decay wrought by ethnic and racial tensions and poverty would forever stigmatize the Borough. Yet, for Barrio inhabitants, a day at Yankee Stadium, the Bronx Zoo and Lion House, Orchard Beach, or simply a game of Stickball played on the expansive asphalt streetscape, would be reminisced on as treasured memories. Aromatic culinary scents of sofrito and sazon in the air, the Third Avenue EL train nearby, with its cars constantly careening and screeching their wheels, added to this ambiance, all the latter rekindles nostalgia for days gone by for many Bronxites.
