  • I walk through the neighborhood of University Heights, Bronx. I also pass by the Bronx Community College, which was the former NYU Campus from 1894 - 1973. The University Heights name comes from the presence of New York University in the area.

    Thank you ActionKid for sharing the tour of ex NYU campus. In 1973 we had to move to the Washington Square because NYU-Heights campus was sold to CUNY. I spent hours cramming in the beautiful library next to the "Hall of Fame for Great Americans". It was a beautiful campus.

    8:15 Aquaduct Walk. A park formed from the land formerly used for the Croton Aquaduct; the first major water delivery project in NYC. Now it is walking trails which are part of a larger trail that goes all the way to Croton Reservoir in upstate NYS.

    Thank you for the share. That was my old neighborhood up to Feb, 1968 when I went in the Army. That park on Sedgewick across from NYU we used to call the Lane and was a point of dispute between the boys from Fordham Road side and the Burnside Boys. All that broken glass is probably several feet deep from the drinking done there on the weekends and goes back generations .NYU and the Hall of Fame were quite impressive back then.

    Thank you for coming to the neighborhood. In 26:55 you are entering University Woods which leads you down to Cedar Avenue. Neighbors have been getting together to clean up the streets and University Woods. There is big issues with illegal dumping, and Quality of Life items. Our next clean up event is on June 12, 2021 from 10AM - 2PM in collaboration with @CPFNYC @NYCPARKS

    Thank you for touring Cedar Avenue. We work so hard to keep it clean, unfortunately our quiet street gets so dirty because of the car washers and people coming to ilegally dump on our neighborhood. Also our quiet street is now the focus of illegal street parties, the noise during the night is too much. in addition to the highway the nights are the worst
