I was just up there about 2 weeks ago checking out the park and the pool (they have the largest pool in the borough..it is crazy big..like huge). The park itself is nice and large, great lake people jog around, and the pool, well it's for the kids.

Crotona itself is not the best...it is in the central part of the borough...which is still struggling moreso than other parts. I was hoping to see more changes in the area, but I was disappointed. Crotona is nowhere near ready for primetime to say the least.

He's saying he's Puerto Rican, thats all. While everyone else won't last 5 minutes in South Bronx, he can last all night. Thats his territory, his people.

It beats the hell out of me why anyone would be so into this area.

Well everyone on the forums here are mostly white so a Puerto Rican neighborhood intrigues everyone if you know what I mean. Like how the Upper East Side is all white intrigues PRs from East Harlem.
