      My family is buried there. My living family mom uncles aunts also have a spot there reserved. As do I as of now. Not sure if I’m keeping it yet. I have a family now so things may change

    That abc store used to be a Woolworth. Back in the day. They still had a counter for fountain drinks and food growing up. Once that was gone it was never the same

    Manny, I'm 60 now and grew up in Throggs Neck. As a teenager, I hung out in Parkchester and Westchester square. Took the #6 train to the city more times than I can count. I even went to that High School near the Square called Lehman H.S. (the building built over the highway). The highway your passing over near the school is the Hutchinson River Pky. The bus that runs up E. Tremont Ave. is the #40 bus. That highway you passed (after the cemetery was the Bruckner Expressway. You'll get to I-95 when you get deeper into Throggs Neck. That "Frank Bee's" store at 17:38 has been there since I was a kid. You missed SO much! There are areas like Edgewater and Silver Beach that are part of Throggs Neck. At the end of your video, near the cemetery, that housing project is called "Throggs Neck Houses". I grew up there. Just thought I'd share some info from my old area! Also, that "other bridge" you saw was the Throggs Neck Bridge that also goes into queens.

    Bronx is definitely a quiet neighborhood.. It looks like a great day for a walk. 👍 I've never fully explored Bronx, just drove through it a few times..

    I was raised in The Bronx and I have family in Thoggs neck. I love the neighborhood alot of mixed cultures and great places to eat and beautiful homes. Plenty of transportation the 40 or 42 bus connects you to the 6 train to Westchedter square. And there are express buses to Midtown Manhattan the Number Bx M 8 and BxM9 express bus that takes you downtown in an hour.. So plenty of transportation and walkers paradise. Thanks for sharing your tour. 👍

    went to Lehman from 88-92. The bus was either the 40 or 42 or on a good day you could walk home...by Lafayette and Tremont.

    You should walk the South Bronx maybe not the best neighborhood but it would be great to here your take about its old Puerto Rican heritage. Also since your an old school hip hop fan it’s the birth place of hip hop, they’ve even got a hip hop museum now.

    U passed my block in Throggs neck .. probably the best neighborhood as far as peaceful living in concerned. I originally grew up on fordham which is the complete opposite... just commented to say, those business u mentioned were closed due to pandemic, are actually still open. Everything on that side of the bronx is almost always closed on sunday and everything closes at around 6pm besides restaurants and some delis. good work on the video

    Used to get a hair cute 10:05 at that red sign store used be be called Reno’s. There was a game store near it as well as a fish place. To the left down the road is McDonald’s on willamsbridge road. That was my main McDonald’s. Across to the left at the church my grandmother worked there when I was younger. This was my neighborhood riding bikes down the square. Going to Lehman high school to visit. Back in the 80s early 90s this was my life and great when growing up. Now days it’s nothing like it once was. People moved out and new people moved in. It’s not what it used to be. But still my home at one point

      Trump does not own that!! I use to play in there as a kid before that was there when there were trails for dirtbikes and abandoned stolen cars starting fires hanging out getting high with my boys and bringing girls back there. The city owns that but they use Trumps name

      @Manny Explores I'm glad you make exploring videos in The Bronx so many people never like to see the beautiful neighborhood's in it . I used to chill in parkchester so much and zerega all the way to throggs neck there's a lot of hidden gems in that borough especially in my old area in Pelham parkway mace Ave has parts of the area lined with houses going towards gun hill which is really nice looking it gives a suburban feel
