Yonkers

A city with a strange inferiority complex. People try to say they live somewhere else even tho there in Yonkers.

Sarah Lawrence College is in "Bronxville".
Crestwood is "Tuckahoe"
The northeastern part is "Scarsdale"
and the southwestern part is "really close to Riverdale"

yonkers

The ghetto north of the Bronx.

Just a few decades ago, the Bronx landscape used to be pretty different; now the same can be said for Yonkers.

Yonkers

a city so big the north and south are connected by a major highway. once a beautiful place now turned ghetto, both north and south. coyle pl, intervale pl, mclean ave, and caryle ave are all now hard. some of the north is still at its height, but it wont last very long, schools ARE laying off teachers and the board of ed is missing 600k. As someone once sed, take out staten island and make yonkers the 5th bourough of nyc, seeing as how it's about 10 minutes to manhattan (no traffic). Its still hot to hang out there because it is so commercialized.

My home... look at it now.

yonkers high school

supposedly the best high school in yonkers. people think its the best school, but there are fights almost everyday. it has an IB program that most people take in 11th and 12th grade but it takes most of their life and time away. its also shared with a middle school which isnt the best thing. most people are rude and think they got clout because they're on the soccer team or they juul all the time.
