The Great and Glorious Grand Army of The Bronx

The Great and Glorious Grand Army of The Bronx Fighting for the AWESOME of The Bronx! People of Marble Hill! For 119 years you have been cursed with your connection to the vile island of Manhattan.

On this great day of May 9, 2015, The Great and Glorious Grand Army of The Bronx has crossed the border of our homeland, and in to Manhattan in order to lay claim upon the neighborhood of Marble Hill, and demand your declaration of loyalty to the mightiest, most glorious, and obviously most handsome, borough, and county of The Bronx. It is clear to us that the borough of Manhattan has been rejecti

ng Marble Hill since the building of the Harlem River Ship Channel in 1895. With our actions here today we release you from the grotesque shame which for over a century has plagued your people. We bring you affordable-ish rents, humanely priced coffee at old time coffee shops, good music, great food, real bars, the most park land of any borough in New York City and direct access to the mainland of the United States of America. We do not bring you billionaires, television studios, fifteen dollar cocktails, and street corners clogged with slack jawed tourists. No longer must you suffer the spoiled ramblings of the effete bourgeoisie and the ever encroaching menace of hipsterism. Lewis Morris, signer of the Declaration of Independence and Bronxite once said “Stand upright, speak thy thoughts, declare the truth thou hast, that all may share; Be bold, proclaim it everywhere: They only live who dare.”

In that spirit, we The Great and Glorious Grand Army of The Bronx now proclaim the citizens of Marble Hill to no longer be held down by the tyrannical yoke of Manhattan and newly dubbed free citizens of the Borough of The Bronx. NE CEDE MALIS
