Bronx NYC

The Bronx is the northernmost borough in New York City. It is 42 square miles. The area took a decline in the 1920s and 30s due to gang activity during prohibition. The area continued to decline through the 1980s, and was considered one of the most neglected areas of the United States. Revitalization began in the late 1990s, and the area is now growing again.

It is about a class of students in the 9th grade who live in the Bronx. The settings in Mr. Ward's English class and a couple of students want to read their poems to the class but it soon turns into an open mike night every Friday. You learn a bit about every student in the class (you learn the most about Tyrone the main character), their story and why they write their poems.

Asked by Wiki User

It was kind of rough for most parts. Many buildings burned, cars being stolen and stripped, widespread drug use and gang wars were common. By the late 1980's, the Bronx became a much better place with rebuilt and new housing, lower crime rates and neighborhood revitalization.

Are pets allowed at Bronx zoo?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The rules are fairly clear about the use of cameras. You may bring cameras on to the grounds. "Non-commercial photography, for personal use only is allowed, but tripods are restricted in some exhibits". The zoo staff does have the authority to use their judgment to limit the use of cameras, if they deem it necessary for the welfare of the animals, and visitors alike, or for the continued smooth operation of the zoo. Also any commercial filming or photography has to be scheduled in advance with the Zoo's Communications Department. Something interesting, you may be videotaped or photographed during your visit, by the zoo staff, the Wildlife Conservation Society employees, or other authorized personal, and purchase of the admission ticket to the zoo will cover permission for any use of your image by these parties.

Asked by Wiki User

They are right next to each other, separated by the East River. So it takes only minutes to get from Manhattan to Brooklyn, or vice versa, over any of the bridges and tunnels that span the East River and connect them. About 3 minutes, or up to 30 in bad traffic.

Who is the Bronx named after?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It got its name from a Swedish farmer who lived there, named Jonas Bronck. As the Bronx at that time was nearly completely uninhabited except for Jonas Bronck and his family and his livestock, visitors who went there would say, "We're going to the Bronck's farm" like you would say, "We're going to the Mulligan's house." Later the name was shortened to the Bronx instead of the Bronck's.
