Born and Raised in The Bronx! www.counterpartsshow.com 

Yo!!!  You from Da Bronx!!??  Nice!  Welcome!  Our first episode on The Bronx from our show Counterparts was a ton of fun but we felt we barely scratched the surface.  What did you expect, we had a lifetime of memories and experiences to cover.  We will be doing a part 2 for sure.  

In the episode, we covered the building I grew up in called Chester Hall.  The address was 1058 Southern Blvd.  A beautiful pre-war building that was considered luxury living back in the 30s.  During my time living there, it was a well-kept and clean build.  Unfortunately, the years and the landlords were not kind to it and it fell under deep dispare. I am happy to report, that Chester Hall is getting a facelift and hopefully full renovation.  One of my bucket list items is to visit the building and enter the apartments I lived in.  410, 304, and 503.  Maybe take some pictures and pay honor to the space where my creative energy was developed.  In part 2 of our Bronx series, we will cover more of the history of the boro and talk about how my grandparents kept me out of trouble.  Maybe I'll tell the story a few breakdancing stories.  Stay tuned!  

The company that built 1058 Southern Blvd or Chester Hall as I remember calling it, was called A-Re-Co (American Real Estate Company) and the neighborhood had quite a few of these buildings that were all built between 1908 - 1912. Apparently, A-Re-Co bought the last farmland. The neighborhood was known as Areco for decades. These were all built about the exact time the subway lines reached Hunts Point.

I like sharing this picture cause it was taken during the time when I was living in that building behind the train. 1058 Southern Blvd in The South Bronx!! If you lived around here during the 80s let me know! (right)

I had such a great time talking to the executive director at BronxNet Michael Max Knobbe! The exciting work happening there is just inspiring and a few times I felt myself wanting to scream but I chilled out. Thank you Michael for your dedication to the Bronx. Lastly, I need to work on my Vulcan salute. :) JHS . . . . . #talkshowhost #talkshow #talkshowhostess #talkshowhostvlogger #actress #host #badassformygod #talkshowhosts #talk #hostess #actor #queenofreal #girlsgonegeektheshow #the #show #g3assemble #assemble #culture #geekculture #dorks #gone #geeks #actresses #actors #bronxnettv #michaelmaxknobbe #jhsinterviews #johnhenrysoto #southbronx (at Bronx, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDAjeCjgijJ/?igshid=i2flzlynhxkw
