Nahshon Dion, a Black trans writer and filmmaker living in the Bronx, knows where to find her happy place — one that unexpectedly reminds her of seeing mountains, waterfalls and horses while growing up in the foothills of the San Gabriel Valley, Calif. For Dion, walks around Crotona Park and Indian Lake bring her back to her youth in Pasadena and Altadena in Los Angeles County. While Dion, 46, said her early childhood was “tranquil and quiet,” her life since then has seen turmoil. For one, it took a few tries over several years for Dion to get and keep a home in New York City — but her home he ..read more

After a red-hot start to the season, the Bronx Bombers woke up on Wednesday, April 17, the last day of their series against Toronto 12-5 with their third consecutive loss.  Why is that? Foul (ball) Trouble  Carlos Rodon didn’t suddenly pick up a basketball and leave Yankee Stadium for Madison Square Garden, so no, he’s not picking up fouls like a center. Foul balls ate at him in his last outing: after the first inning, Rodon used 32 pitches en route to three outs (including a 12-pitch walk to Bo Bichett ..read more
