I love Brooklyn. I've lived here 24 years and don't want to leave but can't afford it anymore. Even going far out in the borough, Flatlands, Midwood, Starrett City, etc has seen prices skyrocket. It makes me sad.
What you pay in rent in the city,??? I could by two houses up here cost of living is cheap,don't get me wrong It's nice to wake up an walk to work 5am an not worry about being mugged,or stabbed !!!!!!! Lol Grew up in n.y,n.j at 10 we moved to p.a ,never seen so much woods in my life ,we live in a valley surrounded By mountains ⛰ far as the eye can see,ya don't wanna be in the woods if your from city,step on wrong property,that's where you will stay!!!!! Speaking from experience, I made that mistake I was eleven years old,I thought this guy was gonna kill me ask me who I was an where I was from when I told him,he said where an why are you fucking city ppl moving this way,then he said leave an next time he won't be so nice!!??? I never ran so fast in my life,had someone shoot at me shotgun blew the trees apart!!!!!!! Never went back there!!!!! So just be careful!!!!!!!
I live in Brooklyn and actually prefer it to Manhattan and/or living in the other boroughs, but love shopping in all of them!!! Each borough has its own charm!!
The title says 11 things, not all things.. I'm sure there's 100s more things and that would include the hood. Somebody failed the reading comprehension part of their regents 🤔
Lived in Brooklyn NY 1967 to 1970 Got accepted to Caledonian School of Nursing. Lived in the nurses dorm. Best time of myife. After graduation shared an apartment with my friend who was a nurse on Flatbush Ave Sure was cheat rent back then. Our apartment was only 60 dollars a month. Those were the best years ever. Take back in a time machine.
In order for that museum to stay open, we must donate, which I do. In my opinion, they don't do enough to reach out to the rest of the surrounding communities to even know that it exists.
Grew up in Brooklyn, 1939 t0 1949. My parents owned and lived in a six family row home across the street from the Ridgewood Grove and alongside the elevated train tracks. There were many children of all ages on our block with all different nationalities and religions living in harmony - a true melting pot. We played stick ball in the street or in the alley lined with car parking garages on each side. It didn't matter how many kids were available to play, sides were chosen with the stick bat, and all played without fancy leather gloves, uniforms or coaches. Brooklyn was special then and for sure influenced who I grew up to be.
Born in Flatbush 1947 Kings County Hospital, rasied in Bensonhurst, now living in Florida, Lenny's Pizza on 86st, .15 cents a slice, went back to Brooklyn a few years ago, didn't like it at all, they forgot Edbitt's Field, the Brooklyn Dodgers.
I found this video very interesting and informative. After watching this, I have a desire to visit. One thing you missed, Brooklyn is, or was, the home of the famous baseball team, Brooklyn Dodgers. I grew up watching watching them. They opened the door, so to speak, for black players to enter MLB, by signing one of the best players ever, Jackie Robinson. As a young boy of 12, I had the privilege of making a little league baseball team called, you guessed it, the Brooklyn Dodgers. Thank you for this video. I would like to visit one day soon before I turn to dust.
Grew up in GRAVESEND! 60'S & 70'S. IT WAS Great! Was just like Good Fellas! Clean Safe@ Great food Gorgious chicks! Rock n Roll! Mini bikes! Ave U. Fond memories. Its ALL GONE! Beam me up Scotty! THERES NOTHING LEFT!
Great documentary!👍 You didn't mention the longest suspension bridge that made the Guinus book of world records as the longest suspension bridge in the world at the time. The Varazanno Narrows bridge that connects Brooklyn with Staten Island! This bridge has a double deck.😀👍
Ocean Parkway On June 15, 1894, Ocean Parkway became the first street in the U.S. to have a designated bike lane. The nearly five-mile stretch of road was designed by Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux, the urban planning masterminds behind Central Park and Prospect Park. Make Ocean Pkwy stretches from Brighton Beach to Prospect Park and is America’s oldest Bike Path.
When I come to visit NYC I am staying in Brooklyn. Manhattan may be the heart of NYC but Brooklyn is the soul. I love everything you showed here. I don't think cemeteries are macabre. That cemetery is beautiful. I think it may have been featured in movies? Love your videos. Thanks for producing them.
Brooklyn= soul, agreed! If one has time, I would suggest going to out of the way destinations such as Bay Ridge or Dyker Heights. If you want to go to an area of Brooklyn that does not at all seem that you are indeed in NYC, I would recommend visiting areas such as Bergen Beach.
Whoa! Who Knew? As somebody who grew up in Brooklyn I kinda pride myself for knowing it like the back of my hand. You referenced some interesting facts re: it's History and definitely did your Homework. The BG tree scene is stunningly beautiful (as is most) of Botanical Gardens. One thing you didn't mention is Junior's Restaurant, where they make the World's Best & Famous for their Cheese Cake. I live in Harlem now, and Junior's is to Brooklyn what Sylvia's is to Harlem. It's almost like you haven't been to either place (B or H) if you haven't Come thru (J's or S's:) Obama knew that when he visited toting back massive Cheese Cake to the White House.😉 Anyway nice video and voice I found it interesting to watch.👍:)
Born and raised in Brooklyn. Attended P.S. 83 on Bergen and Dean Streets. J.H.S 210 and Boys H.S Marcy and Putnam. Worked At Franklin Men's Shop on Nostrand And Fulton . Graduated from Brooklyn College in 1970. Left in 1995.
I got something that you don’t know about Brooklyn there black and Hispanics that living there 🤔🤔 and getting push out by the white people put that on this ......
@Jane O'Leary Actual, Central park used to be a village that was inhabited by black people; it was torn down to build central park. They were forcibly removed. Look up the history.
@Jane O'Leary Of course you don't care as it typical when talking about the wrong doings done to black people in this country. I'm not surprised. And let me guess, racism just magically disappeared, right?
@Jane O'Leary The destroying of The Village in central part happened way before the 50's do if you're trying to use white flight as justification , that doesn't make any sense. Typically whites left before the deterioration of the neighborhoods leaving those neighborhoods to the poor. If whites had stayed, it would have been mostly middle class blacks moving in. It's not a color thing. Poor white neighborhoods don't look that great either. Ever been to a trailer park?
One massive change I noticed in my Bay Ridge neighborhood was that the Sweeds were replaced by Chinese. Quite a change, but I have never felt apprehensive in a Chinese neighborhood. They appear to be hard working and law abiding. I always thought - to busy making a living and getting ahead to risk going to jail for acting stupid.
Lived there for 40 years and can’t afford it. Now there are mostly Arab families and businesses in Bay Ridge. All the Nordic stores are gone, but they still have the parade every year.
I do enjoy your history presentation about New York City, including my hometown, Brooklyn. Your information is as valuable as precious data in the computer's hard disk or file server. I watched your presentation about The Bronx. From that, you inclined me to call that borough "The Bronx," even though I have been living in Brooklyn for 69 years. As old as I am, I am poised to learn much more.
I thought that neighborhood by Greenwood was Bush Terminal, squished between the Industry City loft buildings/Gowanus Expressway along 3rd Avenue and the Cemetery along 5th Avenue. That's what we called it. Now it's called Greenwood Heights, gimmie a break.
I’m pure Boricua born and raised in Brooklyn . The disrespect ruined the life here . We are aiming on fixing that today don’t delay get your way today in Brooklyn New York.
Did know that there is a cemetery inside of prospect park?? Most people don't, even living there whole life near the park, it was called the Quaker cemetery.....now it is called the friend cemetery.....which Quakers name change to now be known as friends, it isn't just a religion but a life style.....you can find the cemetery in the woods behind the baseball field....only quakers are buried there........the famous actor Montgomery Cliff is buried there
also lived in San Francisco in the 80's when it was affordable. The extreme division between the have and the have not's has really destroyed the soul of the society.
Patty duke theme song “patty’s only seen the sights a girl can see from Brooklyn heights”. The show aired in 1966. Before 1966 patty saw lower Manhattan skyline. 1973-2001 the World Trade Center. 2001-2016. Modern lower Manhattan skyline. 2016+ freedom tower
I WATCHED THEM BUILD THE TOWERS FROM MY APARTMENT ON 6th AVENUE IN PARK SLOPE...I WOULD WONDER HOW THEY WERE GOING TO GET THOSE CRANES DOWN...lol A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T REALIZE HOW BIG THE WERE...THEY HAD THERE OWN ZIP CODE...
Born in Brooklyn, NY (Brownsville), raised in Jacksonville, Fl. I always visit my ppls in Brooklyn to remember my roots and where I’m from tho. I fuck with Brooklyn the long way 🥰
I've been living here all my 67 years. You could have shown the iconic Jewish neighborhoods of Boro Park, South Williamsburg and Midwood, where I live. Also the "hoods" of Coney Island, Brownsville and East New York, where I ran often when I was younger (nobody touched a hair of my head even when I had some). Why not show Lubavitch headquarters on Eastern Parkway? You never run out of interesting places to see and things to do in Brooklyn.
I liked the video a lot, but the first air conditioner was designed and built in Buffalo, New York by Willis Carrier in 1902. The first place they were mass produced was Syracuse.
Love that what regeneration trends that happen first in New York the rest of the World follows. Big example, regeneration of old industrial and dock yard areas into high end housing, business and entertainment districts. New York water front early 80's ended up inspiring canary wharf grenwhich London and then Major cities all over the western World got a working model that has kicjstaryed dead inner city areas kl over the World. Leaves us with a mix if old industrial buildings incorporating new houses and offices. Looks good.
Cokies was the best place in Williamsburg back then anyone remember Cokies??? I was one of the original hipsters living in Williamsburg in 2000 and Im english, we did not ruin anything it was the developers and families that moved in that destroyed the vibe.
I'm gonna start making these videos, but for my home town Detroit... "and on the upper west side, on Southfield fwy and 6 mile, there is a car on fire in the middle lane, Every. Single. Day!"
Enjoyed this video. Thank you. If I might suggest, at the video‘s beginning you used the word “notorious” when you wanted to say “noted” or “known as” etc. People or places the are notorious are known for something bad. Look it up. Cheers!
Born and raised in Brooklyn and lived there 44 years before making the move to Staten Island and then New Jersey. Living there from the 50's through the 80's it was a great place to live but now it just totally sucks!
Having grew up in Brooklyn all my life until leaving to go away to (from Westinghouse HS) college then the Army, THIS VIDEO MAKES ME EXTREMELY ANGRY! Feel like the Indians having gone through a high tech version of the Indian Removal Act...! The gentrification of Brooklyn is downright criminal!!
😢 I long for the salt of the earth types & mon & pop stores & lunchenetts that were there before the coffee houses & gourmet restaurants & chain stores! I lived in Williamsburgwhen it was a community.
Kenny Advocat definitely queens is next. However, long island city is the new Manhattan extension. Astoria starts changing. Some parts of Jackson heights changed. The rest is slowly changing
What's 'their assential'? You mean the welfare recipients who love to not work and get their rent and groceries payed for by the taxpayers of the state? Those 'assentials'?
Born and raised in Brownsville, Seth Low projects. All though i moved on to another part of Brooklyn for the better after visiting other parts of the country, there's nothing like Brooklyn. We just have step up our goals a little bit, education, careers and in our finances. I'm here to stay.
yup, almost everyone has already moved out. Brooklyn is now more expensive than upper manhattan. Washington Heights much cheaper than south Brooklyn. =(
I love Brooklyn. I've lived here 24 years and don't want to leave but can't afford it anymore. Even going far out in the borough, Flatlands, Midwood, Starrett City, etc has seen prices skyrocket. It makes me sad.
Please don't come to Florida.
@@frankied8138 you definitely don't have to worry about that, not on the Florida bandwagon at all😂
Frankie D move to queens 😂
Yeah it’s crazy expensive
What you pay in rent in the city,???
I could by two houses up here cost of living is cheap,don't get me wrong
It's nice to wake up an walk to work 5am an not worry about being mugged,or stabbed !!!!!!! Lol
Grew up in n.y,n.j at 10 we moved to p.a ,never seen so much woods in my life ,we live in a valley surrounded
By mountains ⛰ far as the eye can see,ya don't wanna be in the woods if your from city,step on wrong property,that's where you will stay!!!!!
Speaking from experience, I made that mistake I was eleven years old,I thought this guy was gonna kill me ask me who I was an where I was from when I told him,he said where an why are you fucking city ppl moving this way,then he said leave an next time he won't be so nice!!???
I never ran so fast in my life,had someone shoot at me shotgun blew the trees apart!!!!!!! Never went back there!!!!! So just be careful!!!!!!!
I live in Brooklyn and actually prefer it to Manhattan and/or living in the other boroughs, but love shopping in all of them!!! Each borough has its own charm!!
Yu have an extra room I can bunk in? 😝 damn I miss living in Brooklyn 🥲
I'm from East Flatbush! Where my Caribbean people at!
🇬🇾
🇹🇹🇹🇹
You know they are trying to rename East Flatbush to Lefferts Gardens now. 🙄 🇯🇲
Betty Boop wait? U deadass? 😭😭😭

What about weeksville a historic black community right in Brooklyn which has a museum they were trying to get rid of 🧐
Exactly , definitely my favorite museum .
soon as they get the permits its gone
young future nope
In order for that museum to stay open, we must donate, which I do. In my opinion, they don't do enough to reach out to the rest of the surrounding communities to even know that it exists.

Enjoyed this video. Thank you. If I might suggest, at the video‘s beginning you used the word “notorious” when you wanted to say “noted” or “known as” etc. People or places the are notorious are known for something bad. Look it up. Cheers!
I was born and raised in Brooklyn 55 to 77 there was no better place on earth
I Love Coney Island. BTW I Was Born In Brooklyn, NY In The Flatbush Area.

Brooklyn is losing their essential.. the other boroughs are about to do the same
queens will be there by next year!
Kenny Advocat definitely queens is next. However, long island city is the new Manhattan extension. Astoria starts changing. Some parts of Jackson heights changed. The rest is slowly changing
What's 'their assential'? You mean the welfare recipients who love to not work and get their rent and groceries payed for by the taxpayers of the state? Those 'assentials'?

You have quite the tongue! Lips you go loose and smooth. Poetry in motion. The writer is eternally grateful.
Love Brooklyn. Born and raised here but unfortunately getting too expensive to keep living here.
Facts
Born and raised in Brownsville, Seth Low projects. All though i moved on to another part of Brooklyn for the better after visiting other parts of the country, there's nothing like Brooklyn. We just have step up our goals a little bit, education, careers and in our finances. I'm here to stay.
Not barring that Brooklyn is your birthplace, would Queens be an option?
yup, almost everyone has already moved out. Brooklyn is now more expensive than upper manhattan. Washington Heights much cheaper than south Brooklyn. =(
That’s just developer and landlord greed
