From \u003cbr\u003ethe late 1800s to the present day, the area has undergone \u003cbr\u003emany dramatic changes. The most important factor in \u003cbr\u003ethe history of the east Bronx is the development of mass \u003cbr\u003etransit. Its introduction to the Bronx brought a new age of \u003cbr\u003ecommuters, people seeking professions largely in Manhattan \u003cbr\u003eas well as the comforts of suburbia and a more rural \u003cbr\u003eatmosphere for raising families. \u003cbr\u003eThe elevated trains and the highway construction between \u003cbr\u003e1910 and 1940 helped to triple the population. Property \u003cbr\u003evalues rose and new construction became commonplace \u003cbr\u003ealong the waterfront from Pelham Bay to Clason Point as \u003cbr\u003esummer houses were built. Today, the area east of the river \u003cbr\u003eis a community rich in history and diversity. Here we can \u003cbr\u003ewatch the changing landscape, as old modes of transportation \u003cbr\u003ereplace new ones, neighborhoods evolve, and the people of \u003cbr\u003ethe Bronx build communities full of pride.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bill Twomey\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1531601987\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781531601980\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Arcadia Publishing Library Editions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/27\/1999\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 130\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.91lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.61h x 6.69w x 0.38d","brand":"Bill Twomey","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43979929321727,"sku":"9781531601980","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c62cdbb3-7347-4d94-a7c5-6fe0cbf2f5d4.jpg?v=1683247461","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/east-bronx-bill-twomey-9781531601980","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
