Fleetwood

This is the sort of neighborhood I think of when I hear someone complaining about the hoods in South Bronx. Put it to you this way: when I was a teenager and staying with friends in the northern area of the Bronx, we weren’t allowed out late at night so that we didn’t have to take the train through “unsafe” neighborhoods in the South Bronx, such as this one. Just how unsafe it remains is anyone’s guess, but this neighborhood is not exactly a grand place to live or visit. It is close to Yankee Stadium, so chances are that tourists will at least be in the vicinity of it once in a while, but there is no other reason to really hang out here.
