Round'em Up

Here are some Bronx-related stories which we've rounded up for you, our lovely readers, while trolling the interweb with our horse and lasso this fine morning:

The recent opening of Bronx Hydro & Garden, along with a planned hydroponic vegetable farm atop an affordable housing development, indicates that there's been an uptick in interest in hydroponic gardening among Bronxites [Daily News]

Although many Norwood/Bedford Park residents are happy to hear that the Foodtown on 204th Street is planning an expansion upon their reopening after the December fire, there are concerns that the owners shouldn't be able to take advantage of tax breaks through the City's FRESH program because their monopoly caused (in part) the dearth of supermarkets in the area [Norwood News]
