The Bronx
August 11, 2009
The Bronx, my childhood home, and one of the five boroughs of New York City which more often than not gets a bad rap, an unfair reputation of being a not-so-nice place. Certainly not a place to raise your kids. Fortunately for the United States, a one Mrs. Sotomayor found the Bronx to be a fine place to raise her children. From the Bronx to the United States Supreme Court, Justice Sonia Sotomayor sits on the highest court in the land.

Stone chambers, like the one pictured below, are scattered throughout New York’s Hudson Valley. They’ve been around a long time, 1,000 years+, and nobody knows who built them or why. From Druid temples, caves of the devil, and paranormal/UFO portals to Native American sweat lodges and Colonial root cellars, stories and theories abound. One thing is certain: the eternal quality of stone as an artistic and architectural medium.
