Hey guys, welcome to another of my NYC neighborhood photo tours. These were taken in early March. This neighborhood is in the Bronx. This is one of the most talk about neighborhood in NYC. This is the neighborhood that in the 60's to the 90's, Hollywood portrayed as the worst part of NYC. Yeah during the 70's and the 80's, the Bronx was looking bad. It had too many fires and some of the areas did look like the aftermath of a warzone. People were indeed escaping the South Bronx if they could. By the 90's the South Bronx had one of the highest crimes in NYC. Today the South Bronx has low crime and it looks so much better and more vibrant. New immigrants are moving to the neighborhod because it is an affordable option in the city. Please enjoy my pics! :)

Mott Haven was the first neighborhood to give rise to the term "South Bronx". In the 1940s when the Bronx was usually divided into the East Bronx and West Bronx, a group of social workers identified a pocket of poverty in Mott Haven and called it the South Bronx. This pocket of poverty greatly expanded northward, following the post-war phenomenon colloquially referred to as white flight, reaching a peak in the 1970s when the North Bronx-South Bronx boundary reached Fordham Road. Today the North Bronx-South Bronx distinction remains more common than the traditional East Bronx-West Bronx distinction, and some still regard Fordham Road as the boundary.
