The Bronx is one of the five boroughs of New York City. Parts of the Bronx were annexed by the city in 1874 and the rest in 1895, it is the northernmost borough of NYC and the fourth largest. A largely residential area rife with slums and urban decay mainly in the southeast and estates along the Hudson River, the Bronx is the only portion of New York on the mainland.
Industrial areas are few in the Bronx and concentrated in the southernmost portion. They are chiefly made up of manufacturing plants such as food processing and garment assembly. Along the waterfront, shipping facilities, warehouses, and the largest produce market on the East coast are the mainstays of the landscape.

Not only are there new fields here, but there are new heroes to play on them, including the Rolando Paulino All-Stars, who last week made it to the semifinals of the Little League World Series. The Bronx Baby Bombers, as they were dubbed, eventually lost to the team from Apopka, Fla., which lost to the championship team from Japan. But a third-place finish was good enough to make them local heroes.
One of Jim's heroes was Albert Einstein. In our house in Union City, California, on the back of the door of his study, hung a poster, a beautiful portrait of Einstein, with the quotation on it: "I want to know God's thoughts...the rest are details."
Danny Peralta: Sure, yeah. So again, I'm broadcasting live from south Bronx, New York City, the Hunts Point. Well, excuse me. The Point community development corporation, I should say, is a community based organization that has been around now for 27 years. And we really have been at the forefront of hoping to revitalize that community at Hunts Point in the south Bronx. And we do it primarily with youth development, a lot of arts and cultural work and then we do a lot of policy work behind the scenes, environmental justice work as well. Always working with our residents, young people and our partners, honestly, to achieve an interesting end. A new end for our community, let's say that.
Danny Peralta: Maybe you can use them as another device to, again, to draw attention to somebody. I love the idea of naming devices after maybe local heroes that do the human connection, and maybe we can name a node after them because that's kind of what they serve. So yeah, I think there are some interesting ramifications. Some of the young men that we're working with, they're building video games into the PNK these portable network kits that are designed for emergency deployment and again, using it as a creative space. Like these server spaces, where typically there's a lot of data. Why can't we do other things with it? Why can't we add music to it or add visuals to it or when we build up PNK out create a whole cultural museum in there that if people are out of power for a couple of days and all they have is this PNK and they want to learn about the Bronx, is this whole history lesson that comes into it. So it's a tool and it could be. 2ff7e9595c
