What is Yonkers?

Even better...

 

Yonkers conquers.

 

So true.

 

There's part of east side of Yonkers borders toney Bronxville. There's a part that you can actually get
a desired Bronxville PO but have your house in Yonkers. The cheaper real estate of Yonkers but the cache or
Roger Goodell's Bronxville. I've often caught people in the lie by pining them down on the address.

And Cran I'll take Yonkers over New Haven. You can get to Yankee Stadium in 15 minutes.

 

Fucking LOVE saying Ronkonkoma.

 

More better. Roll "Speonk" around on your tongue

 

People kill for that section of Yonkers because it also puts them in the Bronxville school system, which is excellent.

 

Pelham MANOR is another one. I used to tease one guy I went to high school with by telling him he lived in Mount Vernon.

There's also a little strip of the Bronx that is cut off from the rest of the Bronx by the highway. If you live there, you get a Pelham Manor phone number and zip code. You pay lower property taxes, and your kids can go to Pelham High School.

Since your also still eligible to run for office in NYC, it's also become known as "Politicians Row" or "Judges Row".

Pretty sure it doesn't. That was the issue with the segregation that was the area of Yonkers that protested the most about
changing schools around. Many who live in that area of Yonkers send their kids to private schools like stuffy Iona Prep.

 

Iona Prep is stuffy?

They were a big rival of my high school, so while three of my brothers graduated from there, I have no love for them. But, I'm not sure I'd call it stuffy.

Horace Man, Riverdale, Rye Country Day. Much more expensive. Much more likely that your classmate will be the child of hedge fund manager, or the owner of a pro sports team, or the former governor.

 

Hey we all know that Stepinac is the stuffy Catholic HS in Westchester
