Everyone please welcome new Bronxite Ms. Sara Maxwell. She moved into one of the great art deco buildings we have in the Bronx located at 55 E 190th. The photo is of her by her window in her new co-op unit. She decided to move here during her golden years due to the value and proximity to her life long friends on the upper West Side. She is a spunky woman full of life. When I called the other day to see how she was doing she was in great spirits and said "I love it, I love the colors, the life, the people". The first spots she wants to visit are the Botanical Gardens, Wave Hill and Arthur Ave. Any suggestions on which restaurants on Arthur Ave to hit first? In addition, she is looking for a part time job to meet and help other people. She has a long resume as a social worker; that is unless any wealthy single man is looking for a spunky woman with zest and personality to spoil. On a more serious note please do e-mail me if you do have a need for a part time worker so I can forward to Sara.
This photo is of the mural in the 55 E 190th building. Many of the great art-deco buildings in the Bronx were inspired by the colors, art and shapes of the Aztec empire. Much like Greece and Rome were an inspiration to Greco-Roman inspired architecture the Aztec empire's influences were common amongst many Bronx architects as evident in this mural.
55 E 190th also sports a great lobby. The elevator even has music playing for the riders enjoyment. I love to see peoples reactions when they first see the gems we have available in the Bronx.
