The Bronx Is Up . . . Way Up!

Buried way deep in the Times’ weekend piece on the booming Bronx was something I hadn’t heard before:

Sometimes large-scale development has been greeted with praise. In Kingsbridge, a proposal to build a 207,000-square-foot shopping mall has received wide support among residents, even though some shops that the developers are in talks with, like Whole Foods, have higher prices than residents in the nearby housing projects are used to. [Emph. added because this is the fucking Bronx we’re talking about!]
