The Vanderveer projects had locked basements and a parking garage just like this. Around 2016/17 when they were adding laundry rooms to every basement they whipped them all clean. I'll try to dig up some pictures I took before they were all painted over.

Hey that Brian 1 is Brian 183 a nice friend of mine I met back in 1973 he used to tag the red birds like crazy. Super nice guy. I wonder how he's doing. From PEL do it well. Dime2 and Sly5 176 from the Bronx are now in Florida. FB as Tony Mach.
THis is the painful part about graffiti , it will soon be gone, the history will be gone. Some names will live on the internet forever, but the physical artwork will be gone. Look at Korn1, he did over 10,000 tags all over NYC, little by little it is going away. RIP KORN1 (my childhood legend)
Yooo. What a blast from the past!! 1980 the decade of decadence!!! Yaz 56. 🙌🙌 Clyde🙌🙌. Hope they don't tear it down. That is a time capsule, dam , so nostalgic!! Great video G Dubb. Thanx for risking your safety to bring us this dopeness!!🔥💥🔥💥
KOOL JOE was a old Brooklyn writer. And of course alot of old writers from the 56 crew. DELTA2 BAD COMPANY. POKE IBM. WANE FC. Was that a FRITOS?? BIG JOEY TDS! NICE FIND.....
So dope dude! I haven't commented in a while, but had to on this! Thanks for sharing...I'm always watching and liking, have been a couple years now it seems...continued support to you and I have loved the past several uploads of course as well.
Cool video, when you said about holes in the floor I remember when I was in a old factory and I missed the last step on stair set - scary but good memories , Manchester uk 🇬🇧
Super Kool 223..Phase 2..and Stay High 149..in the early 70s where the biggest Graffiti artists on the New York city transit line walls occasionally .. Clyde and Mykal 182 had the busses on lock..I was there..all facts
Interesting... I saw the movie once but didn’t catch the credits... as with most people that knew him they all have their stories. I got mine as well... I always wonder everything would be like if he was still around.
Did that yaz56 pal56 & rag 1 somewhere around 1973 purposely in that spot so you can see them at street level thru fence i knew even back then that if no one went over them that they would last for many years clyde hoy56 fdt56 Lsd 3 were my writing boys it was our hood back then...
Probably a old train station concourse village was build over that in the mid sixties that scafolding & bus wasnt there back when i did those pieces & most of those tags werent either there were no tags inside that building at all not sure exact date but it was summer of 1972 or 73..
You're making angels smile down from heaven, knowing their work still burns & is appreciated by other writers all these years later
Is this the original Turk 182 ? Did you use to write with kitu?
@@Kitu74 No, I chose it a long time ago based on the movie, didn't wanna use my real tag but wanted a graff related name
@@TURK_182 in the Graffiti world he's legendary for Busses and Trains he represented the Ex Vandells lovely
the kids painting on those walls had no idea the global cultural impact they were creating back in the day super impressive

Those Clyde, FDT56 and YAZ56 are from the very early 70s! P.S. the vintage MCI transit bus should be restored too!
That Sane Smith tag at 5:01 is absolutely history!! Rest in piece to him🙏

So much history, NYC needs to preserve some of these places for historical purposes
For real, like they do with those ancient cave paintings
@@TURK_182 yes!!!

It’s gone... all the abandoned locations I upload have been demolished already.

That place has been abandoned that many decades for that old graffiti to still be there?
Smith 5:00
Creepy Graffito Show!
What actually is the place you were exploring not the actual location but what was it like a fire station or something like that
I’m not sure, kinda why I felt the need to put this video up. Maybe someone could add some feedback about it
I can smell that place...LES
Word to the wise, turn your volume down and enjoy!
I believe Kool joe was early to mid 70s if I’m not mistaken
Have you seen any old Sane pieces anywhere?
Wonder if Tiny was a ironic name and buddy was huge
1970 vandalism 50 year old
