Awesome work. Born and raised there and my kids are now 5th generation Astorian’s! You got an instant subscription from me. I’m a big Astoria historian and know so many things ppl don’t have a clue about and pass by each day.
Thanks so much for this. I am an Astoria native and I love all history, but especially the history of Astoria. Such a shame that the Barclay mansion was not restored. Think of how wonderful it would be to visit it today. I have had the good fortune to meet two of Astoria's most famous residents, Whitey Ford and Tony Bennet. Trivia - Tony Bennet was involved as a youth for the opening day of the Triboro Bridge. The father of actress Swoosie Kurtz, Colonel Frank Kurtz Jr. was a WWII airforce hero and also an Olympic diver. He qualified I believe at the Astoria Pool.
My parents lived in Astoria when they first got married. I was born in Astoria (well Jackson Heights but lived in Astoria after I was born back in '77- then I grew up on the North Shore of Long Island once we moved from Queens in '81) and I spent a lot of time there when I was young since some of my dad's side of the family was still there. In the late '90's - early 2000's My dad worked at a friend's coffee shop under the L on 30th Ave. and he lived on 41st St & Ditmars Blvd. I loved it there, this brings me back to some really good times.
Great
I absolutely love the turn back to time accompanied by the outfits! LOVE LOVE LOVE!! Thank you for this, this was well done!

You clearly have very low standards if you think this was awesome work.
Spectacular job! I live in Astoria and love to learn about the history of my neighborhood. I’m looking forward to your next video on Astoria!

Love this! I was born in Astoria and lived there from 1949 to 1971 when I married and moved to the Bronx. Thanks for making this video.
Great video. Such a shame that so much history has been lost and is still being lost in Astoria.
