I checked out locations for Last Crescent Moon. I thought the overpasses over the Cross Bronx Expressway and Bruckner Expressway at Castle Hill Avenue might be good. The Cross Bronx is not. There are apartment buildings blocking the view. The Bruckner is better but still questionable. The view both east and west is pretty good but there is elevated roadway where the Cross Bronx and Bruckner intersect that may block the necessary horizon for Last Crescent.
