Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Bronx is a fascinating history of a singular borough, mapping its evolution from a loose cluster of commuter villages to a densely populated home for New York's African American and Hispanic populations. In recounting the varied and extreme transformations this community has undergone, Evelyn Gonzalez argues that racial discrimination, rampant crime, postwar liberalism, and big government were not the only reasons for the urban crisis that assailed the Bronx during the late 1960s. Rather, a combination of population shifts, public housing initiatives, economic recession, and urban overdevelopment caused its decline. Yet she also proves that ongoing urbanization and neighborhood fluctuations are the very factors that have allowed the Bronx to undergo one of the most successful and inspiring community revivals in American history. The process of building and rebuilding carries on, and the revitalization of neighborhoods and a resurgence of economic growth continue to offer hope for the future.

Download or read book South Bronx written by Bill Twomey and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2002 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Once a part of Westchester County, the Bronx was annexed to New York City in the nineteenth century. The South Bronx came to be defined as the area in the southwest part of the borough between the Harlem River and the Bronx River, with Fordham Road generally considered as the northern boundary. Less urban than nearby neighborhoods in Manhattan, the South Bronx attracted countless numbers of immigrants arriving in New York City in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Choosing to raise their families in what was then a country setting, they helped to make the South Bronx one of the most culturally diverse sections of New York. Churches, schools, ballparks, and streets of the old neighborhoods come back to life on the pages of South Bronx. This book revisits the Third Avenue trolley, Old West Farms, the Third Avenue El, tar beach, and the cobblestone roadways of a bygone era. The breweries and old-time taverns that were once such a vital part of the culture of the South Bronx are found anew in these pages. The Schnorer Club, the Elks Club on the Concourse, the Concourse Plaza Hotel, and Yankee Stadium come to life in this stunning collection of more than two hundred images.

Download or read book South Bronx Rising written by Jill Jonnes and published by Fordham Univ Press. This book was released on 2022-10-04 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thirty-five years after this landmark of urban history first captured the rise, fall, and rebirth of a once-thriving New York City borough—ravaged in the 1970s and ’80s by disinvestment and fires, then heroically revived and rebuilt in the 1990s by community activists—Jill Jonnes returns to chronicle the ongoing revival of the South Bronx. Though now globally renowned as the birthplace of hip-hop, the South Bronx remains America’s poorest urban congressional district. In this new edition, we meet the present generation of activists who are transforming their communities with the arts and greening, notably the restoration of the Bronx River. For better or worse, real estate investors have noticed, setting off new gentrification struggles.

Book excerpt: THE BRONX IN THE INNOCENT YEARS, 1890-1925 offers the moving & eloquent testimony of a community that experienced the many & far-reaching changes of the early years of the twentieth century. The decades when a pail of draft beer cost a dime; when Bronx residents could earn $2.00 as extras in D.W. Griffith's local studio; when a vacation could be spent at Orchard Beach, a tent colony that was built & dismantled each summer; when the Bronx was the "piano hub" of the country; when pigs & rabid dogs roamed the streets; & when malaria was still a powerful threat are presented in a series of first-person accounts of Bronxites who grew up in the innocent years. They tell of living through the era's joys & disruptions, & of the daily miracles that told them that a way of life was disappearing. Complementing these eye-witness accounts is a gallery of rare photographs from the archives of The Bronx County Historical Society that offers a vivid & beautiful glimpse into the past that changed New York City's northernmost borough from a group of small rural villages to a vital urban center.

Download or read book Rapid Transit Comes to the Bronx written by Gregory J. Christiano and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2017-09-14 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After the merger of New York City and lower Westchester in 1874, there was a heightened interest in extending rapid transit lines across the Harlem River into this new section of the city. The newly acquired land was a mixture of hamlets, towns, villages, and farms on the fringes of urban development. There was great potential for economic growth. But it wasnt until 1882 when the first company was formed to provide transit service to what was to become the Borough of the Bronx. Continuation of elevated lines from Manhattan provided a suitable and adequate method of traveling to and from the city. This stimulated construction plans and many residential and commercial buildings arose dramatically along the routes. Here was material for a thrilling drama! Suddenly, rapid transit transformed dozens of sleepy, rural, unrelated communities into vibrant, cohesive, growing neighborhoods, itching for investment and economic development. Here is a history replete with flashes of genius as well a sordid spirit of greed. There were battles, schemes, and high ambitions, but in the end, great things were achieved. Our present generation can pay tribute to that remote past which gave us the city we know today.

Book excerpt: An enthralling story of the iconic Grand Concourse in the West Bronx Stretching over four miles through the center of the West Bronx, the Grand Boulevard and Concourse, known simply as the Grand Concourse, has gracefully served as silent witness to the changing face of the Bronx, and New York City, for a century. Now, a New York Times editor brings to life the street in all its raucous glory. Designed by a French engineer in the late nineteenth century to echo the elegance and grandeur of the Champs Elysées in Paris, the Concourse was nearly twenty years in the making and celebrates its centennial in November 2009. Over that century it has truly been a boulevard of dreams for various upwardly mobile immigrant and ethnic groups, yet it has also seen the darker side of the American dream. Constance Rosenblum unearths the colorful history of this grand street and its interlinked neighborhoods. With a seasoned journalist’s eye for detail, she paints an evocative portrait of the Concourse through compelling life stories and historical vignettes. The story of the creation and transformation of the Grand Concourse is the story of New York—and America—writ large, and Rosenblum examines the Grand Concourse from its earliest days to the blighted 1960s and 1970s right up to the current period of renewal. Beautifully illustrated with a treasure trove of historical photographs, the vivid world of the Grand Concourse comes alive—from Yankee Stadium to the unparalleled collection of Art Deco apartments to the palatial Loew’s Paradise movie theater. An enthralling story of the creation of an iconic street, an examination of the forces that transformed it, and a moving portrait of those who called it home, Boulevard of Dreams is a must read for anyone interested in the rich history of New York and the twentieth-century American city.
