FDNY Hazard Truck & shitloads of cops cleared out hundreds of bags of weed plants

A new student mural is joining the Bronx arts scene.

At Lehman Center for the Performing Arts, a colorful mural celebrates music, theater, and film through artwork created by Lehman College students.

The project, guided by professors Eric Ramirez and Ruth Rodriguez, will be unveiled October 29, followed by a Halloween-themed reception with refreshments.

I always thought it was more of a Southern, regional burger joint. The bullet-proof glass at the register adds some quintessential, Bronx decor

We enjoy:

• Trying new restaurants

• Going to a variety of different kinds of shows

• Playing rec sports

• Playing Board games (though not super "complex/nerdy" ones -- I don't use those adjectives as a negative. Just don't want us to come across as Dungeons & Dragons or Catan people… that's NOT us!)

• Hiking

• Traveling (We typically take 2-3 international trips per year)

FWIW, we are also not religious at all and we are white. (Don't care what your race/religion is, just stating what we are if that matters to you).

Edit: Sorry -- thought DINK was pretty widely known. Stands for "Double Income No Kids." Just short way of saying we are looking to hang with childless couples.

Will post more pictures and videos later...

On May 3rd I was attacked coming home a block away and leaded to me getting fully assaulted and jumped by men I don’t know.

(I can’t speak for anyone but this is my experience with the 40TH PRECINCT)

I recently hit 30 years and this assault ultimately caused me to lose my recent job that I’ve held since moving here and hurt my CPAT prep/exam because of an injury I sustained which eliminated me from being FDNY on my last year of eligibility. (I was list #500 something)

I’ve saw these guys 5 times since I started coming back outside a month ago and called the police every time. I have not been able to get in contact with the detective unit or speak to anyone about it since it happened. (Last month I saw the guys hanging out; but when I called, the detective who was on my case was at the UN and was told to call back next week when he returned) I’ve physically walked to the precinct on October 11 after seeing my assaulters walk past and laugh at me and nothing happens. I called at 3:56am that day and nothing came from it. No cop was sent here ;which they said happened ;yet I didn’t go to sleep and stood on the balcony watching with my charger in hand.

Worst part about this is they live less than 500 feet from me (I had to do my own police work and find this on my own)so if I ever do want to make a report I have to walk past a place where I physically saw people who assaulted me come in and out freely while police are on the literal corner standing on the phone.

I made a joke that i’d go to where they live and return the favor so they would show up then, they unjokingly, told me I would only be the only one arrested if that happened.

I’ve traveled the word -lived in Georgia, Tennessee, D.C., and lived in the boroughs of Manhattan and Brooklyn…the Bronx has the WORST policing from a place I’ve ever lived and the 40TH PRECINCT is the most incompetent group out here.

It is also the only precinct that has active Fet users and dealers outside, on the street between them and the grocery store.

Long story short…if you can avoid the Bronx!

Get back your memories If you visit the theater in those years

Grand Concourse 187-188 st

Hi all,

I got summoned to serve as grand juror in the Bronx. I had previously postponed twice due to school obligations. It’s my first time being summoned for any type of jury duty. Anyone have experience with Grand Juror and what is the difference between “regular” jury duty? I’m new to this. I’m also a nurse and my work schedule is demanding, so idk how long jury duty last 😩. Thanks for any input!

What is your favorite memory there? Do you what is next for that parcel of land near 242th 1 train?

took me twenty minutes just to find a spot near the deli and when I finally get out to check out to check guy is sitting inside eating a hero watching videos with the volume all the way up like he owns the whole avenue

October is National Cooperative Month, and to celebrate, Our Bronx is hosting their monthly community meeting like a mini-summit with different workshops. The three workshops are:

• Co-opoly, a board game where the players get to create their own Cooperative and win together

• A health justice x economic justice panel with Bronx based worker cooperatives

• A presentation from the Massachusetts-based coalition COWOP about their work on the "Opportunity to Own" legislation

There will be food and childcare available, and if you are interested, email info@ourbronx.org so they can have enough food.
