Mayor Bloomberg, Tear Down This Stadium!

As much as we enjoyed Harvey Araton's NY Times column yesterday taking the Yankees and the city to task for not yet tearing down the old Yankee Stadium and returning the much-needed parkland to the community, we'd be remiss if we didn't point out that GAX in the Bronx made the same exact point on the Bronx News Network more than a week ago. If you missed it, check it out here.

Opinion: Axelbank on Filtration

Beginning with this opinion segment from veteran Bronx talk show host Gary Axelbank, the Bronx News Network introduces video to the blog. Gary will provide occasional commentaries on important Bronx issues. This is just the beginning. You'll be seeing more video on the blog throughout 2009. We hope you'll comment and participate in the dialogue. It's what this blog is all about!
