The road is 5.6 miles (9 km) long and stretches from Highbridge general area to Woodlawn. Both of these termini are with the Major Deegan Expressway which runs parallel to the west. Most of the elevated IRT Jerome Avenue Line runs along Jerome Avenue. The Cross Bronx Expressway interchanges with Jerome and the Deegan. Though it runs through territory now known as the West Bronx Jerome Avenue is the dividing avenue between the nominal 'West' and 'East' streets in the Bronx; 5th Avenue serves Manhattan in the same capacity.

“Treat your friends as you do your pictures, and place them in their best light.”
—Jennie Jerome Churchill (1854–1921)
“Has anyone ever told you that you overplay your various roles rather severely, Mr. Kaplan? First you’re the outraged Madison Avenue man who claims he’s been mistaken for someone else. Then you play the fugitive from justice, supposedly trying to clear his name of a crime he knows he didn’t commit. And now you play the peevish lover stung by jealously and betrayal. It seems to me you fellows could stand a little less training from the FBI and a little more from the Actors Studio.”
—Ernest Lehman (b.1920)
