We've revisited Brooklyn and Manhattan in our "before you were born" photo series, and next up we visit the Bronx. Here are some photos of the borough before you were born and before it was burning. It's also nice to look back at this borough before Robert Moses "slammed his fist into the neighborhood in the 1940s and 1950s, 'clearing the slums,' stacking the displaced in spiritless public housing towers, and sealing them behind a rampart of expressways: the Bruckner to the east and the Major Deegan to the south and west."
