Talk:Bedford Park, Bronx

message: hey, I noticed that the line, 'Posters for concerts and events'  by itself and out of context in the second paragraph of the culture section. here is the paragraph as it was:
::"Bedford Park's ethnic diversity manifests itself in an assortment of ways besides the formation of enclaves. Among the national symbols one may see strolling the neighborhood include the double-headed eagle (the emblem of Albania), the icon of Our Lady of Guadalupe (sacred to Catholic Mexicans), the shamrock of Ireland, the Arabic calligraphy of the shahadah (the Muslim profession of faith), or the coquí of Puerto Rico. A vast assortment of newspapers are sold in local convenience stores, including The Echo of Ireland, Albanian-language Bota Sot of Kosovo, and the Spanish-language local newspapers El Diario/La Prensa, and El Hoy. Posters for concerts and events
I'm taking off the last sentence looks like someone started it but never finished. I'm taking it off for now, If some wants to add it back on later as it was meant they can.

message: I feel the Social Problems section has as much justification to be there as any other section in this article. Bedford Park is a neighborhood on the fringe of the socioeconomic South Bronx. It has become almost a transition area along with Norwood as Fordham-Bedford once was. Although the neighborhood has a lower poverty rate in comparison, it is still significant in the area. Between 20-30% of the population lives in poverty according to the US census in the tracts that make up Bedford Park (Bedford Park Blvd to Mosholu Pkwy). Crime IS a problem in Bedford Park. Although Fordham-Bedford to it's south has a more serious problem with violent crime, Bedford Park does deal with it's own street gangs, robberies, domestic violence, and violent dispute related assaults. Higher then the national and city average and that is backed by statistics provided by the 52nd Precinct. Fordham-Bedford just south of Bedford Park Blvd is notorious for it's drug trade and the social problems in that community do effect Bedford Park. Other social problems can also be added such as high incarceration rates due to aggressive policing, teen pregnancy, high dropout rates, language isolated families, and homelessness. In recent years the fastest growing group in Bedford Park have been those of Dominican descent. Most of which are of a lower income strata then the White non-Hispanic residents they have replaced. White flight has been ongoing in this community. Unfortunately many Dominican youth in this community, most of which born in the USA, have been joining rapidly growing street gangs in the area such as D.D.P. and Trinitario. This is due to the fact many of these households are headed by single mothers and they often cannot provide for their children. As a result many children are raised on the street like many other areas in the Bronx and across the city and join these gangs. Anyone who knows the area will agree with this statement.
Here are some links to back my statements:
