Bronx’s History Walk Traces in Fordham

Fordham stepped last night with the Bronx’s History Walk, tracing NYC’s spring at University Avenue. Guide Mia Chen led 100 past 1800s sites, a $10 trek through time’s streets. It’s borough tales—pure BX vibe, steps hot. A kid gaped at bricks; a pro snapped a plaque. ‘Bronx remembers—this is it,’ Chen says, pointing stones. The blocks turned archive.

The walk’s fresh—April 1’s start, it tripled since RSVPs, packing curbs by 6 p.m. Chen’s a Mott Haven scribe; last night’s crowd hit max—maps glowed. A latecomer nabbed a spot; dusk fell—NYC grit shone. Stops hit five—past ruled. #BronxHistoryWalk trended; Queens wants a path.

Some griped—’Too long,’ sniped a newbie, dodging miles. Mud flecked—boots held; lore shone. A rival’s pitching a Soundview stroll, splitting steps. Still, 150 stayed—tales reigned. Fordham’s never traced so bold.

Chen’s teasing a monthly run, maybe a talk if spring bites. ‘NYC’s roots—this walks ‘em,’ she says, folding maps. The walk’s a Bronx win—grit meets past. It’s a history rush; join the next. Bring shoes—time calls.
