Walking in NYC (Bedford Park, The Bronx)
Welcome to another of my NYC neighborhood tours! This is Bedford Park. Located on the North section of the Bronx. This is a diverse working class neighborhood. The tallest towers in the Bronx are located here. They are called the Tracey Towers and are both 41 floors. Please enjoy my tour! 
Bedford Park, Bronx
Bedford Park is a neighborhood in the borough of the Bronx in New York City bounded by Mosholu Parkway to the north, Bronx Park and Webster Avenue to the east, 194th Street and Kingsbridge Road to the south, and Goulden Avenue to the west. It borders the neighborhoods of Norwood, Fordham, and Kingsbridge.
As a low-rise residential neighborhood, Bedford Park has a "skyline" of mostly five-story walkups. The most noticeable exception to this are the Tracey Towers, two 41-story apartment buildings close to the Jerome Park Reservoir. Designed by noted architect Paul Rudolph, they were completed in 1972 as a part of New York City's Mitchell Lama housing development initiative, aimed at allowing moderate-to-middle income families to stay in the area.

Are you sure? I try to stay North of 194th street (and Kingsbridge Road) and East of Jerome Avenue.
Some parts does look like kingsbridge and University Heights though.
Awesome place! I totally enjoy the tour. Thanks for the nice walk in New York.
What a nice street!

I'm realy surprised becouse you can always see The Bronx on tv as a borough with crime etc. There changed a lot in the last 15 years, or not?
btw: great pics :applouse:

And well, we all know that media peddles stereotypes becuse it requires less thought. Bronx is crime ridden, Poland is a communist wasteland, Italy is a mafia paradise. the 93 of Paris will kill you.
