I grew up in the Bronx. Gunhill Road to be exact. My parents still live up there, so I ride up some weeknights and almost every Sunday for a home cooked pasta dinner. I've had all the sh*t jobs a Bronx kid should have....Bronx Zoo, Yankee Stadium and collecting shopping carts at K-Mart in Bay Plaza. Ahh the good ole days.

Born and bred. Grew up in throgs neck. Westchester Ave. East Tremont. BX 40. The good old neighborhood. Even though I don't live there anymore, I still find myself visiting the streets just for ol times sake. Skated almost every neighborhood there in the mid to late eighties.

exception to the rule, though. i've found the Bronx to be the friendliest borough i ride in (all of them except that funny little island down there filled with police officers and their families).

That's pretty nuts. I've never had a problem in the BX. I've had spoiled kids in Astoria driving their parents' BMW yell,"Get a car" but that's about it.

i did take students to the courthouse one day though and the trial we saw was for some guy who pulled a hit and run on a delivery guy. the guy only spoke spanish so my students translated and kept going "he's lying! you can tell he's full of it!" and making noises whenever they thought he was lying about not noticing he hit the guy. i had to give em my serious teacher glare before they got in trouble.
