Let Me Show You Just How Wrong Ted Cruz Is About The Bronx

The illustrious Senator from Texas, Ted Cruz created some waves saying that Manhattan may have problems defending it’s border with The Bronx. Setting aside the fact that the crime rate is lower in The Bronx than in several major cities in his state. I’d like to introduce him to a few of my favorite places that may just shake up his stereotypical view. We’ve come a long way from Fort Apache.

This is some of my blog posts showing The Bronx in all it’s glory. All of these make for a quick trip from Manhattan if you are looking for a day trip with a difference.
