If you have ever heard or seen the movie Summer of Sam, an American crime film directed by Spike Lee in 1999, then you would know that the filming took place in a The neighborhood of the Bronx called Throgs Neck. In fact, I recently discovered that filming took place right on my block. Located in the northwest part of the Bronx, from what I've observed Throgs Neck is primarily a one- or two-family suburb, with the exception of a few apartment buildings. Throgs Neck has many events throughout the year, known for its parades such as the annual St. Patrick's Parade and the Veterans Day Parade, which take place on East Tremont Avenue. Throgs Neck is a friendly neighborhood, like, if someone asked me, "Where do you live?" my response would be “Oh, I live near the water, you know right across the bridge near IS 192.” Most people seem to know what I'm talking about, but most have never been, even if it's just over the Bridge. People seem to know the neighborhood well. Throgs Neck is located in the Bronx between the East River and Long Island Sound. Walking out of the house, I could see City Island just across the East River. Down the block from me is the neighborhood corner store, which has been there for many years. The country club is just a few blocks from me as well as Pelham Bay Park. There is also a small park to my right near Edgewater called Bicentennial Veterans Memorial Park. To my right, at the end of the block, there is a middle school, not too far away there is also an elementary school. There's also a local New York City public library where you'll notice kids hanging out after school. The main street in Throgs Neck should be East Tremont Avenue. Where you might find your local supermarkets, pharmacies and family... middle of paper... people are friendly, there are times when people might be mean, but that's just how life is. Throgs Neck is where I would like to be. Works Cited Bronxhistoricalsociety.org. 2013. The Bronx County Historical Society.
