Pronounciation

Morrisania is pronounced {morris-say-niah}

Boundaries

I'm not confused by the boundaries of Morrisania, given in this article. If you set Crotona-Prospect Avenues as the eastern boundaries, then Charlotte Str. would be included, like it is mentioned further down in the article. If the Grand Concourse really is the western boundary, then Morrisania wouldnt stretch beyond the borders of the Bronx Community Board 3, which only goes to the Park-Webster Avenues. On morrisania.com I found the alternate boundaries Cross Bronx Expressway, Crotona Park North, Southern Boulevard, Westchester Avenue, 161st Street, Brook Avenue, and Webster Avenue. Does anyone know an answer for this differing information? Thank You. Thomas 217.232.143.229 17:22, 11 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Charlotte Street is east of Crotona-Prospect Avenues in Crotona Park East or East Morrisania. The western boundary is Webster Avenue, there is a huge shift in elevation at that point. Wikiwiki718 (talk) 02:20, 6 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Junked car??

I'm not saying it's the upper east side but the junked car image is over the top. It's not the kind of thing you see every day and I think that image should be removed. It's like an image from the 1970s! Objections? futurebird 13:42, 19 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree you will find numerous stripped and damaged cars on the more desolate streets like Park Avenue and in vacant lots. The photograph is representative of the lack of maintenance and trash pick up in the area. Trash in general is widespread across the community. It's not the 1970's it's present day and unfortunate. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wikiwiki718 (talk • contribs) 03:02, 6 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

On which street has the picture with the junked car been taken? Thank you —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.174.62.94 (talk) 15:41, 23 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
