One of the older regulars along East 138th by Brook Avenue, brings his scooter out for Labor Day Weekend in the Bronx. By the flags, it’s confirmed, it’s a Boriqua thing.
He didn’t want to pose with his bike, but i knew i would catch him next time. He and his crew were out every day, but when i kept looking out to give him the picture, i gave up and just gave it to a lady that knew him. That was years ago, and i never see him or his old crew since then. Puerto Ricans coming to Mott Haven in the 1960s ruled Mott Haven in those days, as the Irish left. Today Dominicans and Mexicans dominate 138th in Mott Haven.
