2501 Palisade Avenue called the Villa Charlotte Brontë. John J. McKelvey, a lawyer, writer and developer, built it in 1926 and advertised it in The New York Times for anyone whose “soul is hungry for the majesty of the river” - a fair description even today.

Bring back Freedomland! Lol😅

I grew up in Co-op on in sec 3, went to Truman and even taught at P.S.153 with the Board of Ed. Moved to Florida 2004 but we still got our apt there with my older brother at the helm. So many memories good and bad.

If that house is in a non train horn section it is pure gold.

Mike ! I need help. We have a sex predator on 620 Baychester Avenue . He's in buildings 16-A Apartment # 7-G. I'm in apartment 6-G, & he can see me. He follows me around my place for 24 hours a day, trying to rest a device, or some sort of statue, on top of my head. He likes to watch urine stream from boys peepholes, & can't wait for me to dry off from showers If I move over 2 inches, he'll move the device over 2 inches. He follows me all day. I haven't called the police yet, because I wanted to get my evidence together. I've recorded over 1 year of footage, & now I have him right where I want him. I haven't slept in over a year. It's so uncomfortable wearing clothing 24 hours a day. I have to shower in the pitch dark, because he loves when I run the water.

Castle hill looks beautiful and green

Beautiful. I loved growing up and raising my own kids there. Home to me always., ❤️

The Bronx, not only a new destination, but an entirely original way to present it. Top notch in every way!

I'm and original kid from Sec 1, Bldg 1, TOP, thanks for LOVE fams...

She sounds like a Disney Princess from the Bronx

Upper Manhattan and the Bronx have world class views. The Hudson is mighty, the Palisades incomparable!

Grew up there myself. Always liked it.

Stunningly beautiful! Love this!!!

I can't forget the early days of Covid when co-op city exploded each evening in spontaneous support for our hero health care workers. The clamoring echoed around the brick canyons clear out to Orchard Beach. Truly inspirational.

The is so stereotyped I get upset. I grew up in riverdale. I currently live in florida, but I still go back home to the whitehall visit my family. Many great memories for me.

This was a true honor to be a part of. Thank you for having me!

I cant believe you never figured out the NYC ethos. The shittier your neighborhood (especially if you are from the Bronx or Brooklyn) the cooler you are because it shows you are tough and can deal with adversity. Throgg's Neck isnt shitty enough to qualify for bragging rights....that why people from Bronx/Brooklyn laugh at people from Queens and call them fags. ... Queens isnt shitty enough. Not saying it's right....in the words of our President, "it is what it is".

The Bronx is the real forgotten borough

What a beautiful, powerful production filled with beautiful, powerful faces and voices. Thank you for this Bronx Narratives. It means so much more that the proceeds are going towards such incredible orgs in our community. Love and light ✨🙏🏼💜🙅🏽 BX Forever. #bronxnarratives forever.

excellently done. thank you for having me on.

Wow. This was phenomenal. Watch out for The Bronx.

So well done. I’m extremely proud of ya 🙏🏽💪🏼🔥🙅🏽‍♂️

Yes Miia Diiviine !!!!

Beautiful!

I moved to throggs neck from soundview in 98’ when I was a kid in the 4th grade .. I have a similar experience growing up in this neighborhood as a Puerto Rican kid as you mentioned there weren’t many of us. Especially fitting in visiting my old hood and not fully repping throggs neck. I’m still here and I appreciate it more and more everyday but it has lost it’s tight knit community feel .. I was always on the fringes of that and never apart of it so makes no difference to me.

I used to go to a hot dog vendor right by the Luthern Church as a kid.

Great video 🤗🤗🤗 I remember when Ivelyse moved down the block from me and was in my class 🤗🤗🤗

Boy, I have a lot in common with this guy! I'm a teacher & a musician. I can relate to having another profession & having music there for me. I live in Pelham Gardens & need dental work done. I'd love to come & see this doctor, but Montefiore no longer accepts my insurance.

Wow this is the neighborhood I grew up in I lived on Roebling ave and am currently living on Crosby ave not to far from Jimmy Ryan’s thank you for this just awesome!!

I am so proud of you.

If you’re gonna live in the Bronx, definitely Pelham Bay, Throggs Neck, Riverdale of course, and City Island. There’s also parts of Woodlawn. Just avoid the hood

🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷👍👍👍

Great video!! Is Spuyten Duyvil an area that welcomes non-white people, and black people in particular? My wife and I had considered buying a home in this neighborhood, but we received the impression that some residents were definitely *not* happy about seeing black people walking around. Some Latino friends reported a similar experience.

Glorified projects now.

I lived in Co-op City YEARS ago, so many memories. I lived in building 24, Benchley place, when the building first opened. I live in North Carolina now. My Dad helped use to be on the Board Of Directors.😀

Smart guy deserves smart girl .

Yay, Bronx! My second home and where I do business. Great job, Bronx Narratives!

Wow, this was so awesome!, I loved and lived in Co-op City for over 15 years. I live in Raleigh NC now. Your piece was beautifully done.

Lived in Throggs Neck which to this very day is still the nicest area in the Bronx for me anyway... I wish I still lived there but many of the friends I knew are gone or moved on... The Marina is still there on Harding Ave. I believe... used to hang out over by the water during the summer... cool video...

Co op city is a dump it was a swamp or really a city dump.

Wow, Thanks from the Yank in the land down under for the visit back to the hood and the streets I walked so very long ago,can't tell ya how many times I turned the corner of Roberts and Crosby ave. By the way great tune there brother keep it up. Thanks again.

I miss you the Bronx so much.

Ivy i remember you we were friends

I'd rather live anywhere else in NYC than Throggs Neck.

Thanks for these stories... The outside world thinks everyone in The Bronx is "low grade". It's not true! The only problem is these stories don't get enough views.

Throgs Neck!!!!

i agree with everything she said

I live in Co op it's amazing and the fest place in all of New York
