I know. Makes me grateful I grew up where I did. Then I wouldn't have to mourn the change in my neighborhood.
You should go! It'd be cool to see what the similarities and differences are. What do you dream about?
Growing up in the Bronx is kinda a badge of honor. Not exactly the safest borough to live in out of all of 'em, though it depends on where in the Bronx you grew up as there is a super swanky part of it (small). I do miss it sometimes. There's something about New York City that just can't be duplicated anywhere else, y'know?
