I need everyone to know that THE Rebecca Black played a concert at the NYS fair last week, on Pride day, on a Friday, in the rain, with glitter chainsaws and giant fake boobs on her backup dancers and t-shirt that said MOVE I'M GAY
I've always loved these buildings located on Alexander Avenue between 138th and 139th Streets in the Bronx. You don't really see too many of these types of row houses in the Bronx. I've mainly seen them in Brooklyn, particularly in Fort Greene.
According to the Historic District Council (HDC) Mott Haven Historic Districts webpage:
"Designated July 29, 1969
Alexander Avenue, once known as “The Irish 5th Avenue” and “Politicians’ Row,” features numerous handsome residences and public buildings from the turn of the century. One of the earliest, if not the earliest, series of row houses in the Bronx can be found here, built between 1863 and 1865."
There's nothing like coming across some history while getting your steps in on the streets of the Bronx and New York City.
