Home is where the heart is . . . And it's never too late to go home. Narrated by Marvin Scott, Broadcast Journalist and Bronx Native Looking at the past through rose-colored glasses is an expression that doesn't apply to those who grew up and came of age in The Bronx (the only borough that requires an introduction!). Our precious memories are proof-positive that those rosy glasses just aren't necessary. Back In THE BRONX is extremely proud to present a collection of nostalgic memoirs culled from over 50 hours of transport tapes, home movies, and film clips from our readers, along with additions to our photo gallery of over 7,000 Bronx neighborhood pictures, many of which are a contribution from New York City's Municipal Archives. Just a sampling of what you'll see: The splendid 1940s trolleys of Southern Boulevard, Tremont Avenue, and White Plains Road; the 3rd Avenue El that in the summertime rumbled past apartment buildings and kitchen windows, close enough to get a whiff of (and practically taste) the many different ethnic dishes being prepared for the traditional family meal, the shopping bastions of Alexander's, Loehmann's, Hearn's, John's Bargain Store, Thom McCan, the restaurants and theaters of Fordham Road; the unforgettable ice cream parlors of Krum's and Jahn's, with its legendary Kitchen Sink; our beautiful beaches and clubs . . . Orchard Beach, Shorehaven, Castle Hill, Cascades, Palm Beach, Bronx Beach and, of course, tar beach . . . and so much more.
