Blight Spreads in South Bronx Slum Next to Historic Site
AP report paints a stark portrait of the South Bronx once adjacent to Gouverneur Morris's burial site near St. Ann's Episcopal. Officials and residents describe widespread urban decay, vacant blocks, arson, and scarce police presence as the 6.3 square mile area devolves into a near-prison like slum with few residents and many abandoned buildings.
