My neighborhood is an awesome place. I reside in the Bronx around Fordham Rd and Webster Ave. Fordham has everything, well "everything" when we speak about the stores and fast food restaurants. It is considered as one of the longest retail strip in the borough of the Bronx. As far as transportation, you have the BX. 41, BX. 9, BX. 12, BX 17, BX. 22, BX. 15, BX. 55, BX. 34, BX. 1, BX. 2, and the BX. 32. As for the trains you have the #4, B, and D. Fordham Road is not that dangerous, but hey I can understand how people can get scared. Not so long ago an NYPD traffic agent who happened to be pregnant at the time was crossing Webster Ave. and 188 St. that's a block away from Fordham Rd. She got hit by a mini van then runed over by a school bus. Many came to the rescue to lift a 5-ton bus of her. Unfortunately she died during surgery. Her child lived for about 2 weeks then gave in. In reality many bad things happen to good people anywhere, all the time. It doesn't matter how nice your neighborhood is, places aren't perfect. The worst parts in the neighborhood of Fordham are mostly on the side streets. Fordham Road is always packed (especially on saturdays.) People go about their business on most nights up to around midnight. After that it gets way more sketchy.
