views interrupted in The .

Once upon a time, you could see the glittering Manhattan skyline from the 149th and 146th street bridges over the Metro North tracks but now, since the waterfront has been developed over the past few years with half a dozen 25 story towers, those views are practically gone.

Did you know that the Rev. T Wendell Foster Park (formerly Mullaly Park) was named after The 's first Black elected official?

Born in a small and fully segregated town in Alabama in 1924, Foster arrived in New York City at the age of 13 without a dime to his name and no parents with only hope in his heart that life up north would be better.

He would eventually settle in The Bronx in the Highbridge section of the borough and in 1978, after running for office three times, he succeeded in becoming The Bronx's first Black elected official and served in the New York City Council for 24 years.

In an interview with the New York Times in 2009, he said, "The Bronx has not come far enough. When your schools are still overcrowded and undermanned, and teachers are not properly trained or adequately paid, I don’t see the situation getting any better. I’d like to believe things are getting better. Maybe they are and I just don’t see it."

16 years later and almost 6 since his passing in 2019, his words still ring true.

to the oldest home still standing in The , Van Cortlandt House which was built in 1749.

Did you know that actually slept here? It was also the starting point for General Washington's triumphant march to Manhattan marking the end of the American Revolution.

But there is also a darker and unfortunate history in the surrounding land that is now Van Cortlandt Park.

"Indian Field, near E 233rd Street, was the site of a massacre of 37 indigenous peoples by British troops. The massacred indigenous people were fighting alongside the patriots against the British.

The other dark history is that Van Cortlandt House was indeed part of the family's plantation and there is an Enslaved African Burial Ground nearby and yes, the home was built by enslaved peoples.

By 1821, slaves at the plantation were freed and in 1827, slaves in New York State were emancipated.

How we survive a #heatwave in The #Bronx What's your go to flavor? #welcome2thebronx

A fire broke out early this morning at The Hub in The #Bronx destroying six businesses including beloved Holland Textiles. According to details, the fire appeared to have started at the Dunkin' Donuts on Third Avenue between 155th and 156th Streets and quickly spread to other businesses. No injuries or casualties were reported. #TheBronx #welcome2thebronx

The #Bronx is a foreign country...and we LOVE it. #welcome2thebronx

UPDATE: @banksidenyc reached out to us and said they're investigating the incident and went on to further clarify that the park is indeed open to the general public and once it's fully complete, they intend to hold a celebration to invite the local community in. Thoughts? 🤔 #welcome2thebronx #gentrification #Bronx #TheBronx #SouthBronx

A few months ago, @welcome2thebronx broke the news about the new #SouthBronx waterfront park that was hidden away from the public despite being a park that MUST be opened to the public. Now, @southbronxunite is reporting that they were recently stopped by @banksidenyc security and told that the waterfront park is for residents of the luxury towers ONLY and if you don't live there, you have to rsvp in order to use the facility. People questioned whether it was truly for us, well here's your answer. We're calling on local elected officials to investigate this!

Thanks to @the_perspective_ for allowing us to share this dramatic video with you that they shot over #Parkchester in The #Bronx today showing us just how bad it was today due to the Canadian wildfires. Keep safe y'all! #welcome2thebronx #canadianwildlife #TheBronx

The air quality in The #Bronx is currently at hazardous conditions reaching 392 on the EPA's scale due to the smoke from Canadian wildfires hundreds of miles away that have gripped the region for the past few days. #welcome2thebronx #TheBronx
