Below are a few images from our walking tour this weekend which will dispell any urban myths about what Mott Haven looks like. We would have liked to snap more pics, but the 8 month old was a bit fussy and clearly has not developed a healthy appreciation for architecture yet!

Some nice photos there. Keep up the good work.
It's funny that you wrote this today.
I actually made my very first blog post (this is all so new to me) a few days ago after reading the NYT piece on Lisa Kahane and her photos.
In the post, I wondered "if/how" my new beat (Bronx CD 6) is still dealing with the fallout of the fires of the '70s.
What didn't come across in my hasty, late-night post is the skepticism I meant to convey with that "if." I edited the post this morning and hopefully clarified.

Keep in mind that it is brand new and many of us are blogging virgins!
That's my house on 139th Street! I'm glad you enjoyed our stoop-gardening efforts! My friend emailed me the link - I had no idea this blog existed! XO Lily

i love it - your pictures and concept are excellent. my husband and i have lived in the bronx for 4 years and his parents and sister also live here. we know how great the bronx is and in a way we dont mind that other people dont because it keeps it fresh and real.
