White castle Historical marker and Building with Giant Rock Foundation in Bronx

I live in Ocala but have roots in NYC, NY.  I visit the city every year. My sister lives in the Bronx and there has been amazing reconstruction of this borough including unique building features not seen in Manhattan.  These photos of the Bronx include new and old interesting sites.  



This is a new building in the Bronx that uses the bedrock as part of the foundation of the structure.
How cool is that!.





 



This marker  is outside a White Castle's restaurant on West Farms Square, this is the site of a historical battle site in the Bronx.   It is outside the restaurant parking lot.  I think it's cool to eat at an actual historical revolutionary battle site.  I wonder if anyone stops to read the stone.

Why won't you wear a mask in public? Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery as the expression goes.  President Trump refuses to wear a mask in public so many of his supporters follow his lead. There are many who follow conspiracy theories such as the 5g conspiracy where people believe that the coronavirus is a fake illness designed to distract the people from the development of broadband technology designed to spy on us.  Nevermind that over 100,000 people have died, but to the conspiracy nuts out there big brother is out there.  Finally, people don't like being told what to do even if its for the public health.  They start talking about their amendment rights which many probably couldn't recite on their own but manage to invoke. Coronavirus doesn't know politics nor the Constituion it kills republicans and democrats alike.  Trump is trying to revive economy to save his presidency at any costs especially by ignoring the coronavirus.   Southern states that opene
