Apr 3, 2015 — http://www.welcome2thebronx.com/wordpress/2015/04/03/despicable-nyc-landmark-ps-31-aka-the-castle-on-the-concourse-to-be-torn-down-within-weeks/ After a long battle with thousands of people voicing their pleas to save PS 31 aka The Castle On The Concourse, the city will be demolishing this beautiful landmark and treasured building filled with so much history. It is a battle that we at Welcome2TheBronx, along with other concerned residents, took to New York City’s Landmarks Commission in December 2013, where the agency blasted the city at allowing the building to decay to such a state. This is a story we all know too well in The Bronx: The city doesn’t care about us unless it’s about making money. Had this property been located in Manhattan or Brooklyn, this would never have been allowed to happen but because it is located in the poorest congressional district in the country and the poorest borough in the city, it’s ok to treat our history like garbage — at least that’s the message being sent here. Thank you so much for all of your support and concern on this effort. Every elected official that allowed this to happen should be kicked out of office!
