The photo of the junked cars is not indicative of the neighborhood. I suggest changing it to a photo of the new housing construction going on there, for example the one that is on the overall Bronx article now. The Interloafer 00:40, 21 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree. The Melrose section of the Bronx is very poor, vacant lots and stripped cars are unfortunately a common site. I feel the photograph has a justifiable presence. Adding a bunch of photographs of renderings does not accurately reflect a community largely of vacant lots, low income public housing projects, tenements, and older run down homes. New low income housing has been built and more is in the planning stages however still much of the community is very desolate. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.247.107.86 (talk) 23:10, 5 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
