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.
