To correct my cousin David's grammar,

The Bronx... it is the bomb:)

The Brian Lehrer show is great. It has been a staple of my listening for many years.

Keep up the good work.

I was born and raised in the Bronx (Parkchester). I heard and read many fine slogans. Mine is "Welcome to the Mainland!" I also liked The Borough of Parks.

liked "the bronx: cheer!" but it might be even more fun to just make the slogan "cheer!" and let the reader fill in the rest. :-)

The Bronx might as well capitalize on its rough past and identity in much of the world's psyche. It's what makes it special and interesting.

"The Bronx is Burning... With Excitement!"
"The Bronx: Have you asked for your way lately?"

Well maybe if Bronxites (I was born and raised there) had any idea of their history they'd not only be more proud of the borough but they'd be able to come up with a really cool slogan. Kingsbridge Road and Boston / Boston Post Road are among many places that took part in the Revolutionary War and played an important part. Morris High School is named after the Gouvernour Morris who penned the US Constitution and is buried in a church in the south Bronx on 138th Street (St. Anne's Church) and Morris was the first co-ed high school in the city. The Broncks family is the name of the original land owners there. It was once the place one went to hospitals for Tuberculosis cures. And on and on and on. So "The Bronx Come See and Join Us." Pelham Park is the largest park in the entire city.

Hi Errol,

As a lifelong Manhattanite (when not overseas) I can only think of Ogden Nash's famous slogan ...

"The Bronx?
No thonx ..."
