179TH AND VYSE, BRONX, NY (PART XXXIII): LIFE BEFORE DEATH IN (ugh) NEW JERSEY


during the summer before my first year in high school someone put up a chinning bar in the lot on bryant avenue between 179th and 180th.  working out that summer was definitely worthwhile.  in the fall while other out of shape city kids had trouble in gym with the equipment and climbing the rope, i was able to maneuver these devices like (sorta a third string) spiderman.  all the kids tried to outdo each other.  artie was the strongest kid from the building across the street.
