Run, don't walk, to see the Flip Circus in its last few days in the Bronx.

Jan Vazquez, the show's ringmaster, said his family created Flip Circus four years ago as part of a four-generation tradition of shows that originated in Mexico City and eventually moved to Texas. No matter where Flip Circus performs, the family strives to "keep the essence of circus," he told the Bronx Times.

The One Big Beautiful Bill Act, signed by President Donald Trump in July, aims to reduce federal funding for SNAP, tighten work certification requirements and end food assistance for millions of people. Millions of Americans are at risk of losing their food aid due to the ongoing government shutdown. If the shutdown continues, SNAP benefit users won't receive next month's aid on Nov. 1.

"The so-called 'Big Ugly Bill' is not just a political threat, it's a direct assault on the most vulnerable in our community," New York State Senator Luis Sepúlveda told the Bronx Times. "Our community faces the loss of more than $900 million in SNAP benefits."

Bronx resident Anthony Powell arrived at his local Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) center at 8:30 a.m., as he’s done routinely since losing

"Clean the Damn Streets" is the kind of phrase that would make his grandmother "roll over in her grave" if she knew that he ran on a curse word. But to Justin Sanchez, candidate for District 17 City Council, it's more than a catchy line – it's a declaration of intent.

One of the things that annoys me most," Sanchez added, "is when folks come into the community and tell you what you need instead of listening. I wanted to show that this would be a different kind of leadership. I'm not here to tell you what you need. I'm here to listen, respond, and find solutions to improve our collective lives."

“I didn’t come in saying what the Bronx needs. I knocked on doors, asked, and listened. And everyone said the same thing: clean the damn streets,” Sanchez is

In the Bronx and citywide, the ACES afterschool program through New York Junior Tennis and Learning is working to improve students' academic, emotional and physical well-being, using tennis as the hook. The tennis nonprofit now operates 42 ACES programs citywide, with 13 in the Bronx, serving more than 3,000 children annually at no cost to families.

With ACES, tennis becomes a gateway to explore new interests, said Kim Feliz, community schools site director for NYTJL. However, "We are not just looking to develop their skills in tennis," she said. "We are looking to develop the entire child."

A rare and malodorous marvel is drawing crowds — and wrinkled noses — to the New York Botanical Garden this week, as the infamous co**se flower reveals its massive bloom just in time for Halloween.

The Amorphophallus titanum, known for both its towering size and its pungent odor, began unfurling Wednesday in the Bronx garden's Enid A. Haupt Conservatory, filling the air with a scent often compared to rotting meat. But the foul aroma, and beautiful bloom is fleeting, lasting just 24 to 36 hours, but that hasn't stopped visitors from flocking to see — and smell — the spectacle before it fades.

CUNY kicked off its free college application period on Monday after Lehman College announced a new scholarship last week where students completing dual credit courses can qualify for guaranteed admission.

"We want every New York City Public School student to know that there is a place for them at CUNY and we are trying to make it easier for them to attend with fee waivers, scholarships and outreach to them and their families," said CUNY Chancellor Félix V. Matos Rodríguez.

City Council voted unanimously Oct. 29 to approve land use changes required to redevelop the Kingsbridge Armory.

"With the reimagining of the Kingsbridge Armory, we will see affordable housing opportunities, good-paying union jobs with pathways to the middle class, recreational space for youth and families, support for small businesses, and a true commitment to equitable economic development in the Bronx that we have not seen for decades," Borough President Vanessa Gibson said in a statement.

Parks advocates led dozens on a two-hour South Bronx walking tour to call for increased investment in parks and public green spaces.

On the walks, "We wanted to show the whole spectrum of the park system and the needs," said park advocate Kathy Park Price. But it was also meant to encourage people to imagine a future with better outdoor spaces.

An increased budget could create cleaner parks and open up access to natural areas, she said. "What does it look like if we have that?"

NYC Health + Hospitals/Lincoln and Fordham University's Bronx Research Institute for Community Solutions have partnered to study the health impacts of wildfire smoke events on Bronx residents.

The study, called "Measuring the Effect of Wildfire Smoke Events on Patients Treated at NYC Health + Hospitals/Lincoln Hospital," will explore if and how air pollution driven by wildfires affects the respiratory health outcomes and healthcare utilization of patients at the hospital.

It will likely draw critical insights into the intersection of climate change, environmental justice and public health in urban communities like the Bronx

The Boys Club of New York celebrated the opening of its Tiger Clubhouse in Mott Haven, which joins existing clubhouses in East Harlem and Flushing to offer free programming for boys and young men, ages 7 to 21.

BCNY aims to provide a safe place to be while developing strong emotional regulation and real-world skills, all of which are needed amid a youth mental health crisis.

"Many friends you grow up with, the connection is the Boys Club," said Derrick H. Lewis, who serves on the BCNY board of trustees. "I owe a lot to the Boys Club."

The weather was perfect for a procession of ghoulish dancers, larger-than-life monsters and haunted circus acts who were a fraction of the performers at the 40th annual Bronx Halloween Parade.

The Bronx event is recognized as the second largest Halloween parade in the city, after the West Village parade, and this year, the parade route extended to nearly half a mile and saw about 5,000 participants and nearly 20,000 spectators.

"Seeing it [the parade] go from a few families marching on the street with traffic being open and seeing it to what it is today, it's just amazing," said local resident Julie Young, who was dressed as a disco queen.
