Nice catch. But Riverdale should always be considered part of the Bronx. That whole thing is so elitist and dumb.

Throggs neck is not on decline. It's just more brown now. For some that ='s decline.

Kudos to you for taking pride in the town. A beautiful town it is! Hopefully we can keep it that way. These latest drug busts have many of us in the community concerned, and police patrols have been stepped up, as they should be here.

Exactly. And yet most people who live there have no problem identifying as part of the Bronx.

They can identify with whatever they want to (it's not my problem) but Marble Hill is in the borough of Manhattan.

Perpetuating false stereotypes about the Bronx is just fine by me for now. Keeps my rent low!
