Hall of Fame Ride - Busted in the Bronx
Primary tabs
The Hall of Fame for Great Americans used to be a BIG DEAL. Newspaper publishers used their editorial pages to lobby for or against nominees. Installation ceremonies were elaborate events. The Munchkins even sang about it. For a while the term "Hall of Famer" carried greater cachet than "Nobel laureate", and a hilltop in the Bronx was the highest spot in the country. And then it was forgotten. The Stanford White masterpiece has 98 bronze busts of Great Americans - including those bike makers from Dayton, the Wright Brothers. It is still awe inspiring.
And for lunch we return to the Feeding Tree - a favorite Jamaican joint in the Bronx. GET YOUR JERK ON !
Bring - water, snacks, sunscreen, lock, tube, pump and $$ for lunch. Bring a friend along too.
