The Bronx is a civil rights disaster.

This wouldn't be noteworthy if New York City didn't masquarade itself as the center of the free world. But this only matters from Wall St to West 118th st.

Would be 79th st, if Columbia University wasn't up there.

The New York City marathon goes thought the Bronx.

Most of the runners hate it, there are not many trees, not many people come out to cheer runners on.

There is not a single bookshop in the Bronx.

For like, a minute. You just kind of cross a bridge into the Bronx and then cross right back into Manhattan.

The New York City marathon goes through the [worst, least interesting part of] the Bronx, for like a mile and a half.

The other side has way more trees.
