The Red Lighthouse. I played there as a kid 60 years ago. High Bridge Park where I learned to ride a bike in 1960.
I grew up in the Heights. It was even more diverse than it is now..... Great video.....
Excellent video!! Congrats!!
thank you for the support
Nice video. I’m 54 years old. Born and raised in the heights. Lived in 175th st between Audubon and Amsterdam Aves. Thanks for the memories. Keep up the amazing work bro…
Wow, you really know how to make a quality video! Great work - was a pleasure to watch (and listen)! Cheers 😁
Thank you 🙏
First Class,.............from a Heights Alumni ! 178th St.
Thank You Bob
Very well done video brother! Wish you the best🤜
thank you for the feedback
Bro, I usually don't comment on videos, but your content is legit! From growing up in NYQ and, like you and spending a lot of time in the Heights, I never knew how historical it is. All the places you mentioned, me and my cousins ran up and down and hung out. We never took the time to realize the historical significance.
Thank you for the great feedback. I also did a Harlem video right after the Heights and my family lived on 155 st. Right across their Apartment is Alexander Hamiltons mansion which has always been a museum. I’ve seen this mansion since I was 8 years old and here in 2023 is when I finally stepped inside. Sometimes living in the area we never really explore it until we leave.
Well done! My daughter is new to the Heights, and I wanted to learn more about her area. Loved the history!
thank you, there's so much more to the area to discover.
Really great video! I had no idea how interesting this part of NYC was . Thank you for posting.
Great video! I liked the red lighthouse, Sylvan Terrace and more. Thanks for the captions.
Love your content! Keep going with great documentaries!
Thank you for the great feedback 🙏
Beautiful bridge.
The George Washington Bridge is truly stunning but often gets overlooked because of the other iconic bridges in the city (Brooklyn Bridge probably being the most popular).
Great production value 💯
Thank you, appreciate the feedbacl
Thanks, I really enjoyed it. I've been in that area but you showed me things. I never knew about. I recently subscribed and like what you do!
Thank you Kathleen I really appreciate the positive feedback

High quality content!
Thank you Alex
Brother great report. But just to clarify. Columbia university is not in the heights.
Thank you for the support. I can add it as an addendum to my notes on the videos description. I was in the Columbia University Medical campus (CUIMC) which the main building is the one seen in my drone shot. The main Columbia Campus is the one in Morningside Height from my Harlem video.
So what year did the Dominicans start coming to Washington heights? 1940s ?
Gracias Manito por el Video. Appreciate your videos 🔥 Brother keep up the good work 🙏🏼💙👍🏼
You know Dominicans are the first Hispanics in America , 1613 on the East Coast in Manhattan his name was Juan Rodriguez and on the West Coast was the Mexicans in 1848. After they lost their land to the US and forcely becoming US citizens of course
Jose, i have great admiration for your skills and work. I have dreams of being able to show the history, beauty and offering of the united states. Any advice on getting started.
Hi Kyle, thank you for the kind words. I always tell people to look at their own backyard. The city and town you live in is full of history. My first couple of videos were of my hometown area which after researching had a big impact on industrial America. And you would be surprised how powerful a tool your phone can be. I filmed several video segments (Smithsonian Museums, Upper Manhattan) with just my phone. Hope this helps
This is the video and Washington Heights was one of the most beautiful neighborhood. I was in 1970 and the people of Origen germany and others before them and I am sure the originals were British, Dutch. The buildings who still I hope so beautifully looks like European . The first Spanish speaking were Cuban and create a vibrant community business and low criminaty. Then the Cuban left the Dominicans came and I never be there. It is sad how the train station is full of graffiti used to be so classy.
Native Americans were definitely in Washington Heights before The Dutch and The British.
Columbia University is not located in Washington Heights.
imo Columbia University is not in Washington Heights its in Morning side. Columbia Pres hospital is in Washington Heights
Thanks for the feedback Terrell. The branch of the University behind me is the Pres. Hospital and a minor error in my part.
