NY Times Corrections: There’s No Place Like Home

Look, I grew up in the Bronx, and no clown disses my borough! You got that?
So what’s up with Benjamin Genocchio‘s rundown of fall art shows in the suburbs and other outlying regions (those foreign countries called New Jersey and Connecticut), in yesterday’s NY Times? His first listing under “Westchester” is an upcoming Brazilian art show at the newly expanded Bronx Museum of the Arts.
Ben, listen up: I’m glad someone noticed that the Bronx has culture, but Westchester is a county and the Bronx is a different county—one that also just happens to be one of the five boroughs of the City of New York, which is home to the NY Times.
Now I can understand why an art critic who hangs out in Manhattan and never goes to a Yankees game might not have heard of the Bronx. But where are the copy editors when we really need them?
Probably lounging poolside at home in Bronxville…a suburban enclave that IS in Westchester! And they’re still there on this Labor Day: No correction ran in today’s paper. Maybe they’re just too embarrassed and hope no one noticed.
