The South Bronx Network

The South Bronx Network The South Bronx Network (TSBN) will reconnect your visions of a bygone era & view modern day changes We thank you for support and are humbled by your kindness.

We will explore The South Bronx during different eras, through photographs, drawings etc. We hope this collection will entertain others as much as it has us in creating it. We originally started this page to share our history and as a way for us to remember our earlier days of growing up in The South Bronx. We did it more for our love of where we grew up and because we have grown to love the histo

rical value of where we came from. We’ve always been a fan of black and white photos and the medium itself. We never could have imagined so many people would also enjoy the photographs and like our page. We now have thousands of photos found throughout the internet and shared with us by our fans. We have, in a sense, become a living archive, filled with people sharing their unique knowledge, history and stories about their lives, along with the curious and those who want to learn more about our history during the years when The Bronx was burning and how we survived it all. This is exactly what we had envisioned becoming. Hopefully people can use it as a basis for knowledge, to learn from and enjoy the historical as well as artistic value of the collection. This is all we wished for. We do not own the photos we only share them. Please enjoy the page, thank you for your participation and continued support.

I’m going to give you a shout out on my The South Bronx Network page to not only celebrate your 8 year marriage milestone but to create awareness of how hard you have worked and how far you’ve come as a Boricua comedian from The Bronx in an industry that’s challenging not only because it’s a male dominated profession but for the success you have achieved as a Latina. Much love and respect to you always. Abrazos, tu Amiga, Lourdes Tremblay. We are watching you as a beacon of positivity. Thank you for making me laugh so hard with your “ midwestern husband skit” great JOB!! 🥰🙌

Shout-Out to Johnnie Tatekieto for sharing this image with me years ago. 🥰

My Grandmother, Aunts, Cousins, Mom and Myself used to eat Mofongo for the adults and Cuban Sandwiches for the kids at “Mama Aponte’s Restaurant” on Southern Blvd. every Saturday after my Grandmother would first stop at the Dollar Savings Bank to contribute towards her Christmas Club account. Which I’m not sure if any of you can remember that it was the only bank during the 70’s that had such an account to save with a passbook just for Christmas to buy our presents. 🥰

“I've been looking for an image of my favorite restaurant Mama Apontes. My family and I would go visit my grandmother on Hoe Ave every Saturday and we'd eat there. I came across this image of the Chinese restaurant that later on became Mama Apontes.” Restaurant. Ca.

BRONX MYSTERY LOCATION
WHERE ARE WE?
This is either St Ann’s Ave & Webster Ave or 156th St & Webster Ave (But You make the call) This is when NYC was NYC 🙂 (Gritty & Dangerous) Growing up in the Bronx we were surrounded by rubble lots and they became the Canvas for our creative minds and imaginations when we were youngsters back in da day. The Bronx is officially where The Birth of Hip-Hop happened & Boom Boxes were used to elevate our music during this time period…Classic! 😎
