I'm originally from Jersey City but I've been in NYC since 1983 (except for 3 years in S.A., 2 years in Europe and 3 years in Asia.). I've lived in all five boros. All have their good/bad points and are constantly changing.
I've been in Morris Park, Bronx since 2009 (though I was in Asia 3 of those years). Awesome neighborhood and not what you think of when you think of 80s "movie theater" Bronx. Old school Italian neighborhood, great shops and restaurants. I know and greet all my neighbors. I know my pharmacist and my butcher on a first name basis. Wouldn't think of living anywhere else in NYC right now.
Even the South Bronx is coming up. Calling it SoBo. I go to the Bronx Brewery there at least once a month.
And Hunts Point is way nicer than before.
But the stereotype lives on...
