Need How to video

Way too short of a video

When I grew up in Yonkers, the pier was the tallest structure around. The rest were factories, Otis Elevator, my grandfather's restaurant on what once was an island jetting out into the road, near the Post Office - they have since erased it for the new shops. We went to the pier every day, or nearly, to look at the waves hit the docks. In the summer, there was a ferry that took you to New Jersey's Palisades for the day - lots of fun. I think, if memory serves, the fare was a nickel. I could be wrong, though. Off Getty Square is the street going to Bell Place - there was a wonderful art gallery there where you could sell your paintings. Well, I'm glad to see they've built it up. But I miss the way the old Getty Square looked. There was the fruit and vegetable store that had a man stand outside and yell, "Come get your fresh fruits and vegetables," and then he would rattle off sale prices. There was a man with a monkey and organ - an organ grinder, they called him, and the monkey held a tin cup into which you were expected to drop a few coins for the music. And then there was the old white mare who use to pull the hot dog wagon, and we would gather round for fresh hot dogs and sauerkraut. It was very colorful back then in the 1960s.. I did go back - it is still nice, the square looks like a small town from South America now, but the flavor is modern and no longer holds the old world charm. Too many grand buildings were torn down, including the magnificent Carnegie Library, to make way for strip mall imitations. No class. No charm. Just steel and glass - tasteless. I wish everybody had a taste of the old colorful Getty Square.

Parking is HORRIBLE in white plains

The SW side is a dump.

What happened to the exit tax that you have to pay if you have a home in Yonkers and you sell it? That for every little thing you need a permit. That the roads need so much repairs. The infrastructure is bad.

What happened to the exit tax that you have to pay? If you have a house in Yonkers sell it when you have to pay to leave

Fact check: Yonkers was the 4th largest city in the state, when I lived there in the 60s and 70s. It later fell to #6. Today, it’s back up to the # 4 spot … not #2.

I've lived in Yonkers my whole life except for a 20 year stint where I lived in the Bronx with a boyfriend in the 90's and early 2000's. One commenter on here mentioned bike riding. That's the only part I miss about living the the Bronx. We used to ride to Orchard Beach just about every day. Growing up in Yonkers in the 70's and 80's were the best experience and memories I have. The neighbourhood was full of kids to play with and with little adult supervision we found tons of things to do. We were never bored.

Can you make a video on co-op city Bronx?

Pls, put the wider location right up front. As it is, i dont know where New Rochelle is. Blessings!

$139 any where go in the city. Don’t mention it’s not 24/7 and on top of that some people need to travel outside the city.

What a damn good content creator

Yonkers is kind of funny . You can go from near seven figure homes to poverty and government housing in a matter of a a few street signs . Parts can be very unsafe. A running joke with locals is to stay away from streets named after trees - oak , elm , walnut , birtch , beetch, maple .

I use to live in New Rochelle and I lived it my kind of town

I heard they have gangs now

😊😊I lived in Yonkers for 3years in the early 80s . I loved it and I graduated from YHS .

Marc, great stuff! You’re a natural!

I/m from Elmsford

Born and raised in New Rochelle. Been there since the 80s. Recently moved down south because New Rochelle has become overrun with gangs, crime and drugs addiction. Its really a sad place to be. I couldn't walk to the store without seeing homeless addicts and drunk Mexican dudes stumbling in the streets all day every day. You've been warned.

Good luck- hope it goes great up there !

Hey my friend, I don't know if you remember, but I commented on your video on Yonkers regarding transportation. I don't know if you know, but Amtrak serves New Rochelle as well with THRU train service as far north to Boston or as far south as Virginia. Hope this helps. Also, good video and good luck.

I wouldn’t move there. The town is a walking paradox.

Very informative. Thank you

Great video of the best things in Yonkers but it's not as great as you pretend it to be. I'm sure the gangs are still there and one of the main reasons I moved my family out of there.

Godfather of Harlem brought me here

Is it feasible for those who don't drive?

Love these videos

Can you purchase a commercial property as a 501c3 (specifically a church building)

I came across this video as I was feeling nostalgic for Yonkers as I lived there over 20 years ago. It’s certainly different now. Great video 👍

How do I get a loan off the real estate that’s in my 501(c) 4?

What about the crime?

You don't necessarily have to go to Manhattan to get Amtrak. Amtrak actually stops at that Yonkers railroad station that you showcased. If you want to go points north like Albany, Buffalo, Niagara Falls, Canada or points west such as Ohio, Michigan or Chicago, you can catch Amtrak right there for a one seat ride to these places.

what's the average rent for 1 bed room apartment in yonkers ?

Also lot of Westchester County Residents drive to Stamford Connecticut for work were lot of hedge funds are.

It sounds like a relaxing lifestyle I'm sold

Lived in Yonkers in the 80s and 90s. It was rough and I could not fathom anyone who was on the Honor Roll getting through schools like John Burroughs junior high, Saunders High School, Gorton High, etc. and passing. I could not sit in a class without a kid smacking my head, neck, pushing me, bothering me to listen to them, getting tripped or pushed in the halls, etc. Knives and guns going into school. Kids coming up to you with a gun pressed up to your gut, in school saying calmly, "i want your bubble jacket" or "I want your Nike sneakers." Also walking through the PJs near Getty Square, Warburton, Buena Vista avenue, etc. - I was always running from neighborhoods because kids would chase after me in groups or get dogs to bite me. Just like Jadakiss said, him and I both are from Hawthorne/Pier Street area, and I could not leave anything for a few seconds without it getting stolen. I lived next to that Domino Sugar factory. My pops moved to White Plains because it was too rough to live there, always being on edge. But? I guess things have changed, huh? Well good then!

One plus is definitely being close to the casino!💥👍
