To elena82: Hi and welcome. I grew up in the Bronx during my teenage years in the 50's and 60's which were the best years of my life. I left the Bronx 30 years ago and only had a chance to go back and visit last year. I was surprised how nice the Fordham Road area where I grew up was, all these years later. The only thing that changed was the diversity of the people, all of whom we met were extremely nice. I only wish I could afford to move back, however the housing prices are beyond my reach. I now live in South Carolina. I noted that you are from Italy, my wife was born in Turin. Best wishes, Joe
