I wanna make video news reports about important and/or interesting topics like 60 minutes has been doing for decades. So inspiring. They really are a video/TV magazine.
Ohh boy do I agree with that lol either way I'm sick of NY getting so much damn attention. L.A. is to goto CA spot to get represented, time for the Bay
Remember that time and as a native, appreciated the squeegee people gone, they were an annoyance, except now we have people selling bottled water(yikes) and begging. Remember Times Square as a kid, people forget or don't know, it was family oriented, with theater showings for families, then it got real seedy,families stopped going, then it cleaned up or got more commercialized, an improvement, Big Apple in 2020 still has it's problems but it's come a long way.
Couldn't be more clear. As kid in the 80s, Times Square was freakin dangerous and scary! Port Authority and 9th Ave was seedy. I definitely noticed the significant difference around 1993-1995. I will always be grateful for Giuliani. Regardless how people feel about him, he was a very big contributing factor to clean up of the town.
Incredible how a few policy changes and better enforcement of the law made New York City what it is now today. But sadly the 80’s is coming back again.
Conscious awareness of the need to do Good happening onto people do help in shaping or reshaping their lives thereby making law enforcement less cumbersome and also when handlers of law show human concerns more people become obedient or even show soberness.
The interviewer was clearly biased. How could she tell that guy he was exaggerating when she didn’t live in any of the communities he was talking about.
This was so long ago Casey Neistat was just toying around with camcorders and his son Owen wasn't born yet lol. There was no imac to make/edit movies yet, just a crappy slow G3 imac with dial-up lol
Great piece. Captures 1990's NYC.
I was almost 11yrs old when this aired. I can't believe this was 23 years ago. Makes me feel kinda old even though 34 is still relatively young.
@Salt Salt a hundred years ago you'd probably be right lol
@TheRealUmarJohnson🚬👨🏻🦲U FU#KING OLD TO
Jimmy Bres & Pete Ham are sorely missed
Peter Hamill, loved him, so articulate and bright. I was so sad to hear that he died. Truly a classic man.
"Disney - I'll take the hookers". Well said Jimmy Breslin, RIP you loud old man.
Jimmy Breslin lol, so funny. He was about to be in Spike Lee's "Summer of Sam" just 2 years later. Great movie.

Time to upload one that was filmed in the bay area

Look what's happening in New York City now. Would you rather have a cleaner safer more vibrant city or a return to the 1980''s?
Return to the 80s
80's, without question
Boy have things changed here in 2020.
I miss 1997
A picture of articulate poise.

@Salt Salt guess you don't live in NYC, and/or not a native? Am talking about NYC in the 80's &90's.

Only in NYC tour guide asks the lady if she's French and then says "good morning" in Italian but he says it with style. I miss NYC.
Fran Lebowitz was spot on
What’d she say?
“... turning the Big Apple into the Big Apple Pie”. NYC lacks character.
With “mass incarceration” in the 1990s, there were fewer criminals on the streets. These genius journalists can’t see the connection
Incredible how a few policy changes and better enforcement of the law made New York City what it is now today. But sadly the 80’s is coming back again.
It’s worse.
80's NYC was better than in the late 90s and certainly than what it is now
8:00 Bitter much? Small things matter.
Which month in 1997 is it, please? 🙏
June
.....and now, NYC is a toilet again.............

how times have changed in the last few year. It has gone crime and murders are up 200% year by year.
Breslin was dropped on his head
The violence part: Maybe because there’s less lead in the environment, too.
Not just in New York but the entire country.
This was the stop and frisk era ...
i find that very hard to believe considering our times! very doubtful!
I thought it was 2020 but it was 1997.
This was so long ago Casey Neistat was just toying around with camcorders and his son Owen wasn't born yet lol. There was no imac to make/edit movies yet, just a crappy slow G3 imac with dial-up lol
I lived in Manhattan on the late 1970s and 1980s and I was mugged 3 times. This isn't the NYC I remember!
Breslin is priceless.
back to the future
Well now it’s an “rotten apple” again. Thank De Bozo and Cuomo for that.
Donald, is that you?
@@ChrisOhMy Yeah, that was Donnie. When Donnie left NYC, the worm left the Big Apple...a real tiny worm!
Your not looking in the right places pfft
accountability? Imagine that!
The lost boys from Africa
Where are they at today
The lost boys where are they at today.
Who,
And the ghost of Mamadou Diallo begs to differ
I was hoping this was 2020. This was a time when Rudy G. was a decent man. In 2020, he's Trump's underarm hair.
