[Riverdale (whose residents deny they even live in the Bronx by using the community name in their addresses a la Queens) has some extremely wealthy neighborhoods with huge mansions on winding, hilly streets. There are also mid-rises, high-rises and one-families in abundance. The riverfront is lined with some heavily wooded and tranquil parkland, which makes it easy to hear Amtrak and MN trains approaching from far away.]

You should have been in Riverdale back in March 1989.... A major bus service restructuring took effect: the Bx7 went down to 168th Street; a new Bx20 shuttle started running to 207th Street; and they no longer had the M100!! By-and-large, Riverdale-ites resented that very rude reminder that they weren't part of Manhattan.
