Cheers for the Bronx’s Grand Concourse
In its heyday, it was home to Stanley Kubrick and Milton Berle. Then the Bronx’s Grand Concourse began to slide downhill in the 1960s, but according to the New York Times, new life has been breathed into the street.

In 2009 the Grand Concourse, which is modeled on the Champs-Élysées in Paris, will turn 100, and multi-million dollar developments are beginning to spring up along its length as the Bronx undergoes an economic resurgence. http://www.nytimes.com/2006/05/09/nyregion/09concourse.html
