Your request: "tell us the story behind this... if you would..."
I did. Now, tell us the story behind growing up in the Bronx...if you would. My home town has 1,500 so NY is interesting. The Brooklyn is also.

I was born in the South Bronx when it was in one of its incarnations - as a home for waves of immigrants.
We (the Jewish population in my neighborhood) had followed the Irish, then the Italians. I'll tell a quick story, and then get back to work...
The neighborhood was gently religious - that is, on Jewish holidays, the schools were closed, mostly because nobody would have come, and all the kids dressed up and went to the synagogue.
All the kids, except me, that is. My parents were proudly, fiercely atheist - and so on Jewish holidays, they encouraged me to dress up in my ratty play clothes, and go out to the street to bounce a ball off the wall.
By myself, of course - since none of the other kids could come out and play.
more later... if you like...
