Thank you, i really enjoyed this video, i lived in gates ave & Knickerbocker ave in 1968 to 1977 moved out as a teenager after the NY blackout, it was awesome to see my neighborhood after 50 years, i saw some street signs but couldn't see all the street signs because i was trying to see where you was walking , back in 1974 i used to walk around just like you. I used to go to that church when i was 10 yrs old in 1973, now I'm retired in Tampa Florida
@@GoodfellasNYC just saw it on the internet , its a sad thing but shit like thats happens everywhere sad enough, its good that they caught this piece of s!!t !! He will spent the rest of his life in jail
Such a beautiful area. Liked the different colors of the buildings. I’m so glad you have a way to track your steps. I have never heard of Bushwick before. Smell of fresh fruit is great. Thanks for taking us around.
Bushwick is a cool neighborhood. I lived near Flushing and Knickerbocker Avenues. I used to hang out at the 3 Diamond Bar on Knickerbocker. Can't say nothing bad about the place. Proximity to the L subway and M train is a big plus.
Not more quiet. More dangerous. The shootouts pop off still on a daily and nightly on Broadway and Myrtle and Broadway and Flushing. In fact, any non-tourist tour of Bushwick should start on Flushing and Broadway at the J train station by the hospital. From there you can go through Bushwick Houses and work your way up Flushing to Knickerbocker.
And don't forget guys Peeing in the corners.thats what my brother saw t Took his family to the old neighborhood.He got out of there like a bat outhe hell.in him car and never to look back.
Hey, it is not Marie Hernandez it's Knickerbocke Park. For me and many that grow up in the area that was all italian it was the best place to go and walk around with friends but the Puerto 🇵🇷 came and F**k it up ghetto ways.
i was born and raised there. my mom is puerto rican and got there back in the 60's. my dad is white and grew up there. first, its bushiwck, not booshwick, it was german, irish, and itialian. the latinos came, destroyed the neighborhood, and thus began white flight, same in the bronx. when i grew up there, there were few whites and they went to work. most latinos were busy selling drugs and killing each other. don't make this some sob story. gates ave was unwalkable back in the day. maria hernandez park got that name for a reason. gentrification didn't destroy bushwick, the people living there did. i was there, i grew up in that shit hole. and thankfully i am far from it and my wife and kids never have to see it.
I agree with you on something but Puerto Rican that in that area were working class people with Moral, the whites were trouble makers. They did not want the puerto ricans in the Italian neighborhoods they would call them cucarachs and other bad names. I know this I grew up in that area, I no longer live there for over 50 years.. Most of the puerto ricans from the area moved away.Went back to Puerto Rico.Because that was the intentions never to stay here and go back there.The ones that are there low life ones?They are not even real puerto ricans at my opinion. And yes, it is a s*** hole place.

Indeed put it on your list when you visit NY, you will like it.
You might regret it, especially after what happened today.

Hello and good day to you ladies and gentlemen watching this video...Speaking from Melrose Park ILLINOIS 🇺🇸 USA
I appreciate you for showing my stomping grounds, I made it there, 44 years later I’m still making it 1,500 miles south, Bushwick BKNY forever 💯
Edited: 1,500 miles south
Such a beautiful area. Liked the different colors of the buildings. I’m so glad you have a way to track your steps. I have never heard of Bushwick before. Smell of fresh fruit is great. Thanks for taking us around.
Your welcome, it's a pretty cool neighborhood with a lot happening.
It's a crappy place and used to be nice in the seventies and before.
Great video man, you definitely captured Bushwick
Thank you I appreciate it.

Best thing about Bushwick was the pretzel factory on Starr street off of Knickerbocker Ave.
Bushwick the Mecca of Rocking back in the 70’s and 80’s like Born to rock
Dynasty
Touch of rock

God bless you all .
We love you Manny!❤

Stop it
I was born and raised in Bushwick for 21 years. I left for the Army and never looked back.
Why?
I need one of those watches.. awesome to see the different architecture there, like that Egyptian temple.. and some pretty murals!
This watch is amazing, good for your health too. Some nice murals indeed
I hate it because it looks ugly. I'm so glad I moved away, never wanting to go back to many low life.
