I Was Born In The Bronx
I went back to the neighborhood today; back to the Bronx. The old lady I spoke to was “down” with the lingo, the slang, the good feelings of the neighborhood from back in the day.
My mom shopped down where this lady lived. Back then it was a vibrant shopping area, these days this old Bronx neighborhood is at least still breathing but vibrant, no.
But the lady was great. Some things are meant to be she said and thus conversation certainly was. She knows TN where I live now and I know the Bronx and when I meet people from the Bronx it’s like old home week, it’s like reconnecting with long lost family.
She was so lively and she was so real. And as I worked on her account I forgot I was working and I forgot TN for a while and I was back in the Bronx, where to me, this is where my NY experience began.
