When I lived on 230th, it was right across the street from Marble Hill. Funny how what people normally think about PJ's ain't true. Most of the families that lived there were teachers, worked for the city, transit, you name it. And those who were on public assistance were just like the folks that lived across the street on "our side" ... thems was my friends over there.Can't teach reality to those who've never seen it. :( That said though, the way that various social groups clustered in the Bronx, and then moved literally en masse when new people came in was a very interesting thing to watch and observe. And woe be ye if you crossed the wrong street in many parts of it. :( |
