Juan was dancing outside the bodega I was headed into. I couldn’t pass him by, and he was not going to miss a chance in front of the camera.
Lest the proliferation of Puerto Rican flags in our fair burgh has not clued you in, dear readers, the Puerto Rican Day Parade will come to pass tomorrow starting at 11:00 a.m. You can get the full rundown on this event by clicking here.

I been working with this nonprofit Hunts Point Alliance for Children. The children (12 -14 years of age) are going to perform Twelfth Night tonight in Bronx and tomorrow in Manhattan… Do you mind posting the link to the play? They have been working really hard and the money goes to a great charity.
Done!

Chris Arnade (who took the above photograph) writes:
Isador was playing ball on the street while I was doing a photo shoot.
A huge Yankees fan, shortstop for his little league team, when asked who is favorite player is he said “Derek jeter! Do you really need to ask me that?”
Talking with him almost made me want to see Yankees beat the Red Sox. Almost.

This item comes courtesy of an anonymous tipster and hails from Hunts Point in the Bronx. Am I the only person who is wondering what made the posting of these new “house rules” necessary? Priceless…
