The B represents the botanical areas of the Bronx and its inner beauty. The R represents their school; a place were majority of the participants attended. The O represents the Bronx zoo which is in the background of RTG North. The N represents “The Gates”, an apartment building in which the participants and staff grew up and currently live. The X represents the festive seafood nature of the Bronx.
