Phillies Fans Partied on Thursday but Yanks Were Victorious

Walking back home from The Gateway Center at The Bronx Terminal Market and the new waterfront park, Mill Pond, I stumbled across a few Yankees fans from New Hampshire and New Jersey having some fun at a tailgate party as well as a bus load of Phillies fan...too bad the latter came all this way to see their team lose.

Season Ticket holders from New Hampshire...that's real Yankees Love!

Jersey and Staten Island showing their love

Guess he flipped the bird because he already knew they were going to lose that night...

Is that a game of beer pong?  Guess they didn't read the news about the drinking game being banned due to H1N1 aka the Swine Flu. (note: in no way does Welcome to Melrose suggest that anyone here has H1N1!!)

Last night a DJ saved my life...but not the Phillies...as a matter of fact...not Saturday or Sunday night either for that matter.

True Blue!

World Series Started Yesterday at the Melrose Station of Metro North

As I waited for the 3:39 train at the Metro North Melrose Station I glimpsed a very bold man walking down towards the platform with a...METS gym bag...but it gets BETTER.  Mr David Patterson (no relation to our governor) said that he is actually a Phillies fan through and through in through - his hometown.  As we boarded the train, a discussion on which team is better ensued.

The VERY bold David Patterson sporting his METS bag - His wife and in-laws are big Mets fans and she got him the bag.

AJ - A diehard Yankees fan has one message and only one message to David, the Phillies and ALL their fans:  "Phillies don't have a chance in hell!"

As you can see the discussion was pretty intense...hand gestures and all

Metro North Conductor listening to the pair discussing their passions...I'm sure it's not the first OR the Last to be heard by him on his train.

Things to Do Outside of Yankee Stadium - Compliments of The New York Times

Yesterday, The New York Times published a great article on what to do in the Concourse Village neighborhood which is directly to the West of Melrose and in the spirit of what Welcome to the Village of Melrose is about - not only our neighborhood but the neighborhoods which surrounds us, check out this article by David Gonzalez.

Also don't forget, tonight at PeaceLove: Open Jam Session Hosted by Alvin Rogers so come on out tonight and play that funky music amongst some cool kats at a great establishment. PeaceLove is located at:

617 Melrose Avenue

Between E151st and E152nd Streets

Bronx, NY 10455

Take the #2 or #5 Express train to 3rd Avenue/149th Street and walk up 2 blocks on Melrose Avenue or you can also reach PeaceLove by the, 2, 4, 15, 19, 21, 41 and 55 buses which all stop at 3rd Avenue/149th Street so there's no excuse! That's why Melrose is known as The Hub because we are at the crossroads of the South Bronx!
