Abilene Motor Express....A New Place To Call Home

This ought to be entertaining to say the least.

George if you want pin point directions into the world famous Hunts Point Market, here they are. Remember, I grew up in the families produce market, where else? but there. I might have some pointers to help you out.

Cross the GW Bridge. Make sure you are in the middle lane coming onto the Cross Bronx Expressway. When you pass the Third Ave Exit get into the right lane. Take 895 south, The Sheridan Expressway, exit #4B. You can only go one way. Take that about 3/4 of a mile to the first exit. Go off the ramp and go straight under the elevated train. Watch the 2 support poles you have to maneuver around. Follow that road you are on to about the third or fourth light to Leggett Ave. Turn left. That will run into Randall Ave. Follow Randall Ave to Halleck St and turn right. You will see signs for the Hunts Point Produce Center, don't go into the produce center, you need to go to the meat center. Take Hallleck St to Food Center Drive and turn left. Follow that around, cross the R/R tracks and the meat market entrance will be on your right Make sure you have $25 for the entrance fee, it's a city run entity and they charge to enter.

If you need any pointers just give me a call. I'm pretty sure I'll have the answers to help you get in and out. Remember one thing, don't stop anywhere after dark to sightsee, talk to people or take pictures, this is the Hunts Point section of the Bronx, one of the toughest areas in the big bad city. But, with some common sense and always watching your surroundings, you'll do just fine, I did for the 15 years of my youth growing up there, now look at me, I get to go anywhere in the country and not have an issue. Call me, I'll be glad to guide you in. Good Luck.

 

Kellan, tell Casey thanks, the fudge was delicious. I will have the Tupperware with me to give back. Lesli said the right thing to do is give Tupperware back with something in it, I put 2 slices of whole wheat bread in it.....lol Glad to see you are up and running. Be careful coming back, the weather is suppose to be poo poo.

 

I watched her..brownies, and I ate every last one, that's why I stuck 2 pieces of whole wheat bred in there.
