My Mott Haven Heaven


What is up my people!!?? You have made it to the all new Brook Avenue: La Familia site - where we all will be a part of raising it.
With your help we should be able to mold and create this website and make this our own huge historic family tree.
This will be your back-up plan of staying in touch with everybody when you don't have time to make a call, but need to able to stay in touch with everyone by simply sending a story, a picture, a video, or just give us a heads up on the latest on what's going on in your neck of the woods and what is the latest with your family.
Whomever you can think of that lived with us on the block back-in-the-day you've got to tell them or send them the name or the link. Or send me the name and email and I can send them an invitation.
It will be easy to stay up on the latest by subscribing to the site. Every time something is posted you will know!
Let's us begin with a little history of where we came from and what was our neighborhood all about.
 
 Mott Haven is a low income residential neighborhood geographically located in the southwest Bronx. The neighborhood is part of Bronx Community Board 1. Its boundaries, starting from the north and moving clockwise are: East 149th Street to the north, the Bruckner Expressway to the east, the Major Deegan Expressway to the south, and the Harlem River to the west. East 138th Street is the primary thoroughfare through Mott Haven. The local subway is the 6 line, operating along East 138th Street. Zip codes include 10451, 10454, and 10455. The neighborhood is served by the NYPD's 40th[1] Precinct. NYCHA property in the area is patrolled by P.S.A. 7 at 737 Melrose Avenue located in the Melrose section of the Bronx.



Let me leave you with a little music video to get you talking about our 'other home'! I will find some music or video that I will post once a month.

Look the "Video of the Month" every month because – trust me – I will send you back in time every time.

This is what the jebos are still doing!




Talk to your kids and be proud of where you came from and tell them about the sacrifices we all did to get to where we are today.
Let me hear you!
