    This is my first time watching Colin. I was sent to the site as I also grew up in Yorkville & although I don't know the guest personally, I know some of his family. Anyhow this was awesome. He brought back memories. He spoke more of the 60's & 70's. I am more of late 70's, 80's and 90's and like this guest I saw a side of Yorkville that the residents of today wouldn't believe. They think it came from a movie. But I'll tell ya it was the safest place growing up cause we were like one big family and everyone looked out for each other. My mom was there till her passing in 2009. Although I lived in Brooklyn, Long Island, State of Florida, Middletown, NY & for the past 17 years in Vestal, NY, never have I found the love and loyalty we had for each other in Yorkville. To this day I keep in touch with my Yorkville Street Family (which is how I look at them) & although many of our good ones have past...I know they still look over us. There never was and never will be a neighborhood like YORKVILLE again! We had block parties, helped each others parents, could walk through the projects at 2am without a care. #Yorkvilleforeverinmyheart. Thanks Colin for giving our representative time to talk about it! Very impressed with his interview. Kinda reminded me of one of my real brothers, who passed on! Peace, love & happiness to all!

My only gripe is that it's 6am now and I gotta go to work! Haha. But I can't wait to see this tonight. I've never been to America but always wish I had, I watch videos of people driving the streets of NY just to get a sense of the vibes. So, 😂these vids to me are worthy of your Smithsonian. 🙏.

    Met you once on your 1st day at SNL--I was on 17 to meet Tom Schiller (I'd been an intern in '89 and he & I'd become friends). You were very friendly (I'd recognized you from clubs and Remote Control). We both knew Juskow in common (maybe Royce and Danny Vermont too). Those guys and I were on a sketch comedy show together in college.
