it's a great read about a part of the borough that has been filled with important activity, but is historcially overlooked.
Thanks for the plug,Gary. The first issue of the Mott Haven Herald is available, free, in community centers and libraries in Mott Haven, Melrose, and Port Morris. On line it's at www.motthavenherald.com. And we'd love to have you become a fan on Facebook. We hope you won't just read it, but will comment, as well.
