BRONX BOMBSHELLS

News from around the Yankees' home borough...

HOT PARTY: A Bronx restaurant hosted a Super Bowl party, during the Super Bowl!
The place to be on Super Bowl Sunday was at Tosca Cafe, 4038 East Tremont Ave in the Bronx, featuring a decadent free buffet of hot pretzels, popcorn, Miami Cuban sandwiches, fried yuca and wings. The waitresses & bartenders of Tosca enhanced the atmosphere by dressing in one of the Superbowl Team Colors and naming themselves the T-Birdies.
COLD OLDIES: There's so much snow, old people would rather starve at home than go out in that shit!
“They’re not shoveling at the corners, so you basically have to swim,” [a senior who wished to remain anonymous] said, adding, “And those motorists! They never slow down for people. We get drowned!

Yesterday morning he managed to convince court officials at East 161st Street that he was a different detainee, one held on a lesser charge, and they let him go... He's 22, about six feet tall, 180 pounds, with black hair, brown eyes, and tattoos of a red scorpion holding a heart with letters on the left side of his neck, and a star on the right side.

BRONX BOMBSHELLS
(Updated)

News from around the Yankees' home borough...


• Starving Bronxites forced to sell their guns:
This weekend the NYPD had one of its gun buyback programs in The Bronx, in which they gave $200 cash cards to anyone turning in a firearm, no questions asked. In 2008 Brooklyn took in nearly 700 guns in one day and that was considered a big success. This weekend's Bronx event, held at four local churches, took in 1,186 firearms -- a new city record. 
• Bronx youth takin' it to the 'burbs:
MONTROSE - A Bronx man and woman were arrested with $10,000 in heroin Tuesday night and accused of drug dealing around Coachlight Square, Westchester County police said.

• The Archbishop of Canterbury is all like, I gotta see this Bronx shit with my own eyes:
People lined up along the fence outside St. Ann's Episcopal Church in the Mott Haven section of the South Bronx Jan. 27 waiting for their turn to get inside -- not to get a glimpse of Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams, who was incidentally visiting, but to shop the parish's weekly Wednesday morning food pantry.

Williams arrived and left with little fanfare. More food pantry clients lined up along the fence outside, paying little notice.

News from around the Yankees' home borough...


• The Bronx County Republican Committee is moving out of their shithole of an office:
The Williamsbridge Road office, established by former state senator and Republican Committee chairman Guy Velella, sat in the middle of its block on the second floor of an unmarked building. A steep staircase to the office kept seniors and disabled Republicans away.

“Our landlord prohibited signs on the building,” Ramftl explained. “Some people had no idea we were there.”
• The Norwood News and Mount Hope Monitor, two -- what were they called? -- "news-papers," are teaching Bronx teen-agers some dead Amish thing to prepare them for the past:
Students will learn the fundamentals of writing, reporting, and photojournalism through classroom instruction, and through hands-on reporting in their own neighborhoods.
• Meanwhile, in Riverdale, they're really getting sick of President Obama's shit:
“I am disappointed with his need to try and make everyone happy,” Mr. Enright wrote. “It seems to me that to improve this country we’ll have to make some people unhappy, like health industry and Wall Street crooks. I wanted Obama to do it. He has not done it.”
