Right. But some rather Bronx stay the way it is, and yet still complain about the lack of investment. They complain about the smallest thing.

"Omg, a chipotle is coming to Bronx! Now those transplant yuppies are gonna want to move here!"

They said that about Starbucks. Look what happened; nothing.
They're saying that about Chipotle. Look what's happening; nothing.

Now a Whole Foods? THAT is a sign.

I always felt the stretch of 161st Street between the Grand Concourse and Morris Avenue always had the "look" with all the courthouses / offices around the way.

Manhattan already serves as a downtown for the entire city

Still wished some of those offices were a little bit taller. I want to see some offices!
