Halfway Across The World In The Southern Hemisphere The Bronx Is Used To Describe Crime

It seems that no matter where in the media one looks, there will always be something negative to say about the Bronx. You are well acquainted with the Connecticut attorney who last week trashed the Bronx in his review of “Monet’s Gardens” exhibit at the New York Botanical Garden in the Bronx and today I stumbled across this gem: A Federal MP in Gold Coast, Australia was shocked to see “Bronx-like” security at a local gas station.
This is funny coming from a country founded as a penal colony where England exiled criminals to live the rest of their dying days.
