Walking into the sprawling front entrance of the Bronx Museum of the Arts, it’s hard to tell what warms the soul first: the inimitable sound of famous salsero Hector Lavoe crooning softly, or the bright, welcoming white lobby into which sunlight from the Grand Concourse pools.
These days, it might also be the expansive exhibit, “Juan Downey: The Invisible Architect,” which opened this past Sun., Feb. 12th.
Ah, love. The punctuation may vary (Love! Love? Love!?!!), but not our fascination with the topic, and its impact on our lives.
For many local couples, the glorious, and complicated nature, of love can be heightened by choosing relationships with a partner of a different race or culture.
Two years ago the idea was sparked of bringing together several Dominican artists in a collective exhibit in order to express a series of different cultural themes while exploring the nature of Dominican identity.
Today, it has become a reality.
Now on display at Boricua College, the exhibit "NEXOS: relationship, association, union, link" is a selection of works by Dominican artists.

Gregory Bell lives in the Morrisania section of the Bronx. The closest intersection, at Third Ave. and 163rd Street, has two-way traffic.
Pedestrians always have cars turning into their path as they cross. It’s an intersection that even the bravest New Yorker crosses with caution.
Few people in this world can boast of a talent so immense that it is often referred to as “divine.”
When you factor in Guinness World Book records and 170 million albums and singles sold worldwide, the number is even fewer.
Some would argue it was only one: Whitney Elizabeth Houston.

{OPINIONS}

For four years, I was appointed to serve as a member of the State University of New York (SUNY) Board of Trustees by Governor David Patterson. Not long after being appointed I was asked by the Chairman, Carl Hayden, to serve as the chair of the committee that oversaw the authorization of charter schools.
I knew that this would be a controversial position but I agreed to serve because I supported the original idea behind the creation of charter schools: that they could serve as educational sites where innovative practices could be developed that could be used to benefit children in public schools. I also hoped that with SUNY behind them, the charter schools we authorized could serve as models of “best practice” for expanding access to college and improved forms of teacher education.
Sadly, it hasn't turned out this way.
