149 St and Third Avenue is the first stop on the number 5 train that is really underground as the rest are on the outside. I was impressed to see that the Third Ave of the South Bronx, doesn’t look at all like the Third Avenue of Manhattan. The Bronx version of the 3rd Ave. has some 99cents stores, Electronics stores offering ‘layaway’ programs, the NYSOL with a lot of people going in and out, and fast food restaurants. It is obvious that marketing on this section of the Big Apple is targeted to lower income families.
