Thompson visits Bronx Senior Center


   During what was his 5 borough tour mayoral candidate Bill Thompson stopped a the Rain Senior Center located at 3540 Bivona Street in the Baychester section of the Bronx. While Thompson was at the Senior center Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz Jr. arrived to say hello, and speak about his good friend and candidate that he has endorsed for mayor this year. 
  Diaz told the seniors that he always hears of cuts to senior centers, but that his office provides resources to every senior center in the Bronx. Diaz then told the crowd about why he choose to endorse Bill Thompson for mayor and after Thompson thank Diaz the two went around the room talking with the seniors. I asked several of the seniors if they had voted in the last mayors race in 2009, and the answer was yes and for Thompson. Below are a few photos of the visit by Bill Thompson and BP Diaz.
