    Sorry to disappoint you but this isn’t the ‘old’ Yankee Stadium. This is the renovated stadium when the original was closed after the 1973 season and reopened for the 1976 season. The Yankees played in Shea Stadium for the 74 and 75 seasons.

    I used to live in the west Bronx as a child. .My first memories were the little 1 bedroom walk i' at the end of Morris Ave where it turns and ends at Jerome Ave. When I was older we lived over in University Heights. In my wanderings as a child I discovered a neat little coffee shack On east side of Sedgewick Ave. between two apartment Buildings on a scrap of land just south of Fordham Road . The building looked real old. There was a big sign over the counter that this was one of Poe's favorite spots. It seemed a bit far from his cottage but now that I know his wife was buried near there in makes sense. .Nice to see the park and the tours when I went in the service back in 68 things were a bit rough around the park at night.

    Wow, 6 years and I am the first comment. It is too bad this talk was so badly recorded, but so great that it was. I have never seen someone talk about redlining in my hometown of the Bronx so authoritatively for the public. I found it fascinating, explaining so much about three generations of my Puerto Rican family living there. Thank you!

    Do you folks know that Edgar Allan Poe has a Scottish Connection? The Mystery of "Mar'se Eddie"in the Shire, a Biography of EDGAR ALLAN POE'S Scottish Connections. Self-published by the author, Robert Densmore Brill, M. A., J. D., 885 pages, 2 Volumes, Copyright 2013, Foster City, California. The Poe Museum of Philadelphia, Penn. does. So does the Archive Section (Poe Vertical File), Library of the U. S. Military Academy, West Point, N. Y., and 33 others to whom I sent complimentary copies for allowing me access to Poe materials. I often quote the Poe biographer, Raymond Foye, The Unknown Poe, who was going to take me to the Fordam Cottage, but I never had time during the 20 years of working on my 2 volume book. No one in PSA, MLA, or other interested Poe scholar would help me get my book published. I am retired from the US Air Force and United Airlines, and not in academia.

    I LOVEEEEE that I found this video! Born and bred in the Bronx! I played by this home all the time as a little girl. I lived near the park. I think the Bronx is SO underrated. The land, geologically speaking: is beautiful. Growing up there, you would hear so many awful things,(especially from people who didnt live in the Bronx) basically putting the Bronx down in some demeaning levels. I will never forget it is the people (humans) that turn things into something negative and that has nothing to do with the actual beauty of the Land of the Bronx. Bronx has many wonderful attractions and Poe Park and his home is one of them. Thank you so much for sharing this! Cheers! xx
