    The Bronx is Better

    Why?

    It refererences our recent past and lets people know we are better than the rest!
  • [5] a from NYC August 21, 2007 - 11:44AM

    The Bronx- It's no longer burning!

    "Yes, the Bronx"? Pathetic....
  • [6] Smooth Johhny S from Yo, Jersey! August 21, 2007 - 11:46AM

    There can be only one slogan:

    Boogeydown Bronx
  • [7] CH from NYC August 21, 2007 - 11:46AM

    The Bronx: On Top of the City.
  • [8] Craig Charney from Manhattan August 21, 2007 - 11:46AM

    Hi Errol,

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

    "The Bronx?

    No thonx ..."
  • [9] charlene from manhattan August 21, 2007 - 11:46AM

    It should say. Boogiedown you're in the Bronx.
  • [10] a from NYC August 21, 2007 - 11:46AM

    "Yes-the Bronx" says to me....such an uninteresting borough that we can't think of anything to say!

    and yes, I live in the Bronx

    The Bronx-not a Starbuck's in sight


  • [11] antonio from park slope August 21, 2007 - 11:46AM

    how about "tops in the bronx!" to hark back to this crazy eddy kinda of radio commercial that used to play in the 70's...
  • [12] George from Downtown Manhattan August 21, 2007 - 11:47AM

    Bronx - the non-island borough

    Bronx - attached to the mainland
  • [13] Trevor from LIC August 21, 2007 - 11:48AM

    "THE BRONXOXO"

  • [14] przemek August 21, 2007 - 11:48AM

  • [15] John August 21, 2007 - 11:49AM

    "The Bronx: Why Not?"

    "The Bronx: That Other Borough"
  • [16] eric fluger from jersey city August 21, 2007 - 11:50AM

    i'm sure i like the whole idea, but if there must be hype i'll second the motion for "the bronx is up!"
  • [17] Trevor from LIC August 21, 2007 - 11:50AM

    or...

    The Bronx-- The Only City with 26 Championships
  • [18] Robert from NYC August 21, 2007 - 11:51AM

    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.

    The Bronx: Are You Here on Purpose?
  • [20] Miss from Midtown August 21, 2007 - 11:53AM

    the bronx: where the zoo at
  • [21] Smooth Johhny S from Yo, Jersey! August 21, 2007 - 11:55AM

    The Bronx: Hey, It's Not Newark!
  • [22] Chad Harris from Bronx August 21, 2007 - 11:57AM

    Bronx - Welcome to the Top of the World.


  • [23] David from Brooklyn August 21, 2007 - 11:57AM

    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?"
  • [24] morarji mejia August 21, 2007 - 11:59AM

    The Bronx you will love it all
  • [25] eric fluger from jersey city August 21, 2007 - 11:59AM

    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. :-)


  • [26] marc greenberg from yonkers August 21, 2007 - 12:01PM

    The Bronx - we've got it all!
  • [27] Israel Martinez from Woodside, Queens August 21, 2007 - 12:02PM

    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.


  • [28] sean bauer from brooklyn August 21, 2007 - 12:02PM

    The Bronx: Stay Where You Are!
  • [29] Israel Martinez from Woodside, Queens August 21, 2007 - 12:05PM

    Welcome to the Mainland!
  • [30] marc greenberg from yonkers August 21, 2007 - 12:06PM

    or (my second suggestion)

    The Bronx - we are family.
  • [31] Joe Hickey from WOODSIDE August 21, 2007 - 12:07PM

    THE BRONX: IT AIN'T BURNING, BUT IT'S STILL HOT!!
  • [32] David Kanegis from coachingmentors@yahoo.com September 03, 2007 - 05:57PM

    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.
  • [33] Howard Charles Yourow, SJD from The Bronx { Where else ? } September 23, 2007 - 09:18PM

    << The Bronx ?
