OMG. Far Rockaway Queens. 15th Street handball courts that was our beach. That is one of the best hoods ever in the Queens New York. You take the boulevard all the way straight down you come into halfway to Brooklyn. Great video you just made my day of giving me flashbacks of when I was a young lad growing up in Far Rockaway Queens. 15th Street beach handball courts with the place to be back in 1980 to 1999
These ladies you’ve been finding to show us around are some of the most articulate and intellectual guides I’ve been blessed with listening to. Not to mention absolutely beautiful! Thank you, loving all these vlogs and your channel!
@@rehyeambrown8565 I don't think the word "strong" is a good compliment for a woman. Because the "strong" women HAD to become strong as a response to the not so good environment they grew up in (here talking about not having a loving family, not the hood). I think a compliment about her being able to stay feminine, smart, loving, caring (keeping all the feminine qualities) despite having to be "strong" is a much better compliment. The other girl too.
Born and raised in Far Rockaway! I was also a part of Stan's double dutch team at the PAL. Good memories of when I used to be able to jump speed and do freestyle routines, aka flips and tricks while jumping.
I'm from Brooklyn, and being a NYC native I can tell you this. There are some places in NYC that are their own bubbles; their own ecosystems. Regardless of which borough these places are in, they operate as rogue communities and really insular. Far Rockaway is one of those places. It's in Queens, yes, but it's so isolated from the rest of the city that it is almost it's own borough. Really different vibe and atmosphere from the rest of Queens and NYC overall. Other places in NYC like this are: -Coney Island (Brooklyn) -LeFrak City (Queens): This one is tricky because it's not on the outskirts of the borough, but LeFrak was almost a self-contained community. Drs offices, grocery stores, etc... made it so that people didn't even really have to leave the complex. -Harlem (Manhattan): It really has little to no relation to the rest of Manhattan. Saying you're from Manhattan and saying you're from Harlem are almost like saying two completely different things -Red Hook (Brooklyn) -The Hole in East New York (Brooklyn) -Coop City (The Bronx)
Accurate! Also, Rochdale Village in Jamaica, Queens it’s a Mitchell Llama Co op. It’s similar to Co op City and Lefrak city . It had everything, including a Power Plant and Long Island railroad station! When the city is in black out, we had lights! #qgtm
These are the people from these areas that the corporate media won't show because it doesn't create sensationalistic headlines and make them money! There are far more people like this in these areas that are not really looking to make it out but is working to help build them up and the world needs to see this. I thank you guys for giving them their shine! 💯
This used to be my neighbor for a long time. Everywhere she showed and mentioned, I know it and everything she said is absolutely correct. This video definitely hit home for me. Wavecrest was the last place I moved out from to another state. I can never forget far rockaway and the memories is strong
I'm from Los Angeles born and raised. I travel to New York a lot. I love the scenery and culture. So different from the Westcoast. Was just there in February . Will be back soon. Much love from the Westcoast🌞🌴🌊 to the Eastcoast🍏🗽🌊
You just brought them down by giving a negative aspect. You calling them ratchet dosent help. White people can do the same as black people ,but never be called ratchet.
🤔Yes I thought this person was just pointing out that not all of us are “crazy🤪” I didn’t think that they was bringing anybody down just stating a fact🧐. But I don’t know...🤨
@@selfmadetray5836 facts all them words played out I get what he saying though it’s just don’t give them no extra terms to judge our behavior because at the end of the day it shouldn’t matter what other people think of you its what you think of yourself we gotta be more positive thinking about ourselves
This young Queen did a Great job showing Far Rockaway. I was born and raised there. She really pointed out things I really didn't think a young Queen her her age would know. She hit on the PAL, the library, Wavecrest (My brothers lived there) and the truth about the hospital situation. Yesssss, the bungalows.... that is the truth, (I remember the old one's)how does she know. I grew up there and I am almost 60. She really knows Rockaway. My children went to PS 106 too!! I love that beach and feeding the seaguls.... I lived on 19th Street as an adult. I probably know her family. I am sure. Rockaway was an amazing place to grow up. It is so different now. I just retired as a Special Ed teacher in NYC........... Great Job!! I loved it..... and she only touched on one side of the Beach.... Wonderful!! That was a lot of walking......... That was too quick.... I wish the video were longer.
I’m 58 years old now. I lived in Far Rockaway since I was 3 years old. I recognized every part of Far Rockaway that she was showing. I went to mostly all the schools in Far Rockaway. It’s changed so much since the 70’s. I moved out in the 90s. Like I her lived in Wavecrest. Collier Avenue…. Beach 46st…. Beach 9th Street.. Beach 19st. So many memories. ❤
That's my hometown Far Rockaway Queens. I grew up in Far Rockaway Queens along with Rosedale New York Jamaica Avenue Springfield Gardens and so much more. I have was considered a Norwegian Gypsy. Why because I would love to travel all over their Queen's area. For many years I grew up on beach 15th handball courts that was the place to be. Right by the boardwalk and used to sell food and have a good time. Thank you for uploading this video I greatly appreciate it as you brought me back to such great memories of living in Far Rockaway Queens. 1985 to 1993.
Shout out to Queens NY 4rm Oakland. My mom's fam from LefrakCity & Southside Jamaica Queens! I used to go there all the damn time, every single year. Dating back to 94 (as a baby). I fucks wit em real hard!
I'm from N.Y and moved to the Caribbean. Watching this video brings me back child hood memories and reminds me that I never walked so much in my life than the time I lived in N.Y and even taking public transportation I can't remember the last time I did.
I currently live in far rockaway and I know all the places she was talking about even that deli store with the skimpy bacon egg and cheese lmao. I love this
My family and I came from Russia to the US in '92 and I grew up in Far Rockaway from 9yrs old until end of high school (went to Beach Channel HS). Had a great childhood there, always on the courts playing ball with friends from all over. Great summers, beach life, the up and down rollercoaster of growing up. It was a very important part of my life and taught me a lot about how to get along with people of all sorts, and not just being isolated to one group or set of ideas, something that many in the local Russian community wanted to have my mom worry about. People told her to send me to a Jewish school on Long Island because it was "safer", but my mom felt it would be more valuable for me socially to be exposed to a full range of differences instead. She was absolutely correct. I was always surrounded by lots of diversity and different cultures and found great friendships and experiences in all of it. Will always have a place in my heart and great memories of Far Rockaway. Great video! Thank you!
The energy in this video takes you there it's almost like time traveling. Beautiful energy and the queen delivering the message was everything she needs her own show or blog 👏👏👏
Never been to NY, Cali boy to the heart, but she makes me want to visit. Her intellect matches her queen like beauty. Keep showing the positive figures within our community.
One of the most wild parts of all of NYC that very few ppl have been or know about. RIP stack bundles. Far rock is more like some cities in Jersey (atlantic city) and parts of LA. Dope that you covered it 100
WOW... I really appreciate this vid. I grew in Far Rock and left when I was about 20 y/o... It's vastly different from what I remember. Seeing this vid brought back so many memories! Thanks for that!
I loved your video and I share your enthusiasm and love for Far Rockaway, even though I have moved-on. I was born 70 years ago at the Rockaway Beach Hospital and baptized at St. Gertrude's RC Church on Beach 38th Street . We lived on Beach 43rd St in Edgemere then moved to Dickens St in Bayswater. I moved to Wavecrest Gardens in 1972 when I married. Just like you, my first school was PS 106 (I recall it had a lot more trees and plantings surrounding the premises). I'm glad it still survives. Just like you, I too got my first library card from the library located at Mott Ave & Central Ave (Beach 20th St) probably around 1957. At that time the library was a beautiful, ivy-covered brick and stone architectural gem. It was one of many [Andrew] Carnegie philanthropic financed libraries in NYC and around the U.S. Sadly the building and all the books contained within it were destroyed by fire in 1962. Unfortunately it was replaced by an uninspired structure that is thankfully, as you happily explained, being replaced by a real modern library. I share your joy! I look forward to viewing your future projects. Hopefully more about Far Rockaway :)
Far Rockaway was my 2nd home growing up, my Daddy(RIP) lived there for years in Wavecrest. I haven't been there since 2000. Im just tearing up at the memories of the beach, eating at Subway around the corner, going down to Mott Ave and getting Rotis from Ali's and that Beauty Supply Store. Regi did a great job!
Lovely video. It's great that this beautiful woman with a good head on her shoulders from our hometown of Far Rockaway put an emphasis on her educational experiences and brought up the importance of it to our community. Thank God for her!
I love this documentary!!! Very informative and teachable to those who inquisitive about the Far Rockaway, NY. culture. She was a very true queen and represented her neighborhood.
So many memories. Raised in Redfern projects. Left Far Rockaway in 2002 and haven’t been back to NY in years. Wow things have definitely changed, yet still remained the same. Thanks for the memories ❤️
She is Gorgeous and very intelligent i pray God bless her entire community She is well Spoken...and God bless you and your entire community also for having the courage to do this Wonderful interview Peace king.
Bro this is my hometown!!!!!!!!! Let me tell you about by hometown we grind hard work hard we are the kindest people you will ever meet and we are also passionate
Grow up in jamaica,Queens spend a lot of time in far rock , what we called it. When the young lady said "her fathers an uncles were wild azz N's. Yeah we were tat post civil-rights generation , we didn't do good.
@Tré 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 You know and i know the readers and viewers may not know but Hempstead is NO WHERE NEAR FAR ROCK its a 45 to 1 hr drive in traffic. You gotta hop that N31/N32 from the Terminal damn near to the last stop before u hit the Rock 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 If you said 5 towns or Rosedale i probably would of let you slide on that one 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This video and her story brought me to tears fr. I’m from corona queens, had a similar family structure as hers, just more toxic and codependent but my family moved to jersey during the pandemic where I was for a year + and I wasn’t rocking widdit so I saved and moved myself to Bushwick. Its like diff roomates, everything isn’t as close together, just not the same. So gentrified and these people lack the etiquette that I’m used to but this is my journey. As a young queen in this I hope my spirit stays as steady and strong as hers❤️
Thank you for the Video! Nobody gives Far Rockaway enough Love! It brought some Happy and Loving memories for me!! Thank u , I was brought up in Ocean Village! Respect My Brothas and Sistas!✊🏾🤲🏾🤝🏽🙏🏽👽
I'm from NYC love how people keep saying they love our NYC accents. Funny thing is living here you realize there isn't one NYC accent. All the five boroughs have their own lil accent. But thank yall for loving our accents. BING BONG!! LOVE MY CITY DAM IT. By the way the Bacon egg and cheese on a roll is a NYC staple. As well as the Chopped Cheese. They are Bodega specials..
Yaaaaaas Far Rock❤ was my stomping ground!!!!. My moms lived out there for 30 years until her expiration at St John's last summer. I did my best to pursuade my mom to go to Mercy Medical in Long Island, but she wouldn't. And like you, I always treasured my visits to NY to visit my mom. My daughter also spent her summers in NY and I would always be sure she brought NY snacks back to Georgia. LOL! Yaaaas, on the Bodega deli... best food for your money. Girl y'all have me missing my second home. I loooooved viewing the beach from my mom's window. Thank you for sharing this. 👍🏽
Thank you for the great video. I grew up in Far Rockaway (Beach 27th Street) during the 1960s and 1970s. Moved out West in 1979; haven't been back to Far Rockaway since 1980 (yeah, I'm an old guy). This video brought back memories, but also made me realize that if I went back today, I probably wouldn't recognize it. I've felt led of late to pray for Far Rockaway and its people. Again, thank you for the excellent video!
@@chyummy It crazy she said something about Jones Beach. No if not mistaken I remember Nas say something about Jarome neace got shot on her home from Jones beach. It was the song call one love off the the album illmatic. Now I could be wrong on how I said if so correct me it been along time since I heard that song but yeah she did in amazing job on the video.
I grew up in Far Rockaway (Brooklyn, too), went to FRHS, JHS 198, spent my teens in "town" on Central and Mott. I left in 1973 and have been back to drive through a couple of times. Thank you for this. It made my day!
She's a beautiful woman and I love the pride she takes in her community and where she is from. Also, don't get me wrong, segregation definitely still exists. But when it comes to jews and hasidic jews in queens and the city, it's not so much segregation to keep certain races or people OUT, but more like trying to keep their people all together and IN, since they all live together pray together share everything have their own entire culture, economy and existence completely separate from the regular economy. Jewish restaurants, supermarkets, clothing, wigs, shoes, hats, kippas, etc. They all stick together and stay stuck together.
Just amazing how she captured the essence of the city just by being who she is..very charming, charismatic and articulate Beautiful sista❤ #queensbaby🙌
Being from California, I’m always shocked when I see people while it’s snowing and not going crazy. Lol Here, we have to travel to the mountains to see snow and even then it’s amazing.
I feel you,I'm from Memphis and was up in Michigan and the snow was dam near knee deep and I was scared like "chicken little"when the sky was falling while the people that were actually from Michigan were going to and from like it was nothing
@@nolannolan7323 like most places it has it VERY good as well as VERY bad but for the most part it's beautiful city with beautiful people lots of history,lots of things to do and see and it's actually a pretty important city and LAWWWD HAMMUSSY don't get me started bout the bbq and soul food in some duck-offs and hideaways 😂I live in Evansville Indiana now which is the total opposite of Memphis not very pretty, not much GOOD history,not a lot to see or do and the food leaves alot to be desired 😑but I'm going home in a week or so and I can hardly wait
I lived in 40s projects in the 90s. , went to p.s106 but would have to walk to my grandmas in edgemere, why was y’all summers hotter than ours a few miles down the road Lolol ?
In 1981 I had spent one month residing in 19th street very close to the ocean beach commuting every morning to Manhattan by the A train and return in the evening. I was 27yo and it was a nice experience. Thank you for this beautifull trip down memory lane.
Wow this world is so small!! Thank you for this, I was walking down memory lane right with you! I grew up in Far Rock and I also lived in Wavecrest, and I used to go to that same salon, went to St. Mary’s and all that!!!
Thanks for the visuals & history of these areas. Good that you've discovered socioeconomic disparities of education. Well done works. I live in ENY off Conduit Boulevard across city line on the other side of Howard Beach. I frequently see & hear seagulls flying around my building. They be calling me back to the beach so they can jack my fruit offerings!😂😂😂
Love this video. Interesting and informative. Love her accent and locs! She's beautiful and a fantastic tour guide! Thanks for showing me around Far Roc-a-way! 😊

I moved to Wavecrest Gardens in 1972 when I married. Just like you, my first school was PS 106 (I recall it had a lot more trees and plantings surrounding the premises). I'm glad it still survives. Just like you, I too got my first library card from the library located at Mott Ave & Central Ave (Beach 20th St) probably around 1957. At that time the library was a beautiful, ivy-covered brick and stone architectural gem. It was one of many [Andrew] Carnegie philanthropic financed libraries in NYC and around the U.S. Sadly the building and all the books contained within it were destroyed by fire in 1962. Unfortunately it was replaced by an uninspired structure that is thankfully, as you happily explained, being replaced by a real modern library. I share your joy!
I look forward to viewing your future projects. Hopefully more about Far Rockaway :)
She beautiful and her speech is so impeccable you need more hood vlogs like this just to see her is mad love ❤️
Wow Far Rock looks maaaaad different now !!!!!!!! Idc what anyone says , FAR ROCK IS 6TH BORO BABY !

Seeing my town being presented like this really made me proud 🥰
Much love to her! 💕Thank you for portraying this important history of sadly disappearing neighborhoods in NYC and many other places. 🙏🏾
Far Rockaway was my 2nd home growing up, my Daddy(RIP) lived there for years in Wavecrest. I haven't been there since 2000. Im just tearing up at the memories of the beach, eating at Subway around the corner, going down to Mott Ave and getting Rotis from Ali's and that Beauty Supply Store. Regi did a great job!
Regi Angelou Thank You. You are the Ambassador of Far Rockaway Queens .
Lovely video. It's great that this beautiful woman with a good head on her shoulders from our hometown of Far Rockaway put an emphasis on her educational experiences and brought up the importance of it to our community. Thank God for her!
I love this documentary!!! Very informative and teachable to those who inquisitive about the Far Rockaway, NY. culture. She was a very true queen and represented her neighborhood.
She’s so positive and beautiful. Wonderful spirit!
Her natural hair is beautiful...Now this is a Queen..

So many memories. Raised in Redfern projects. Left Far Rockaway in 2002 and haven’t been back to NY in years. Wow things have definitely changed, yet still remained the same. Thanks for the memories ❤️
Moved out of NY 5 years ago. Glad I did but still miss the culture now and again.
She is Gorgeous and very intelligent i pray God bless her entire community She is well Spoken...and God bless you and your entire community also for having the courage to do this Wonderful interview Peace king.
UA-cam suggested it and I’m not even mad. Keep doing your thing brudda 👏🏾 Shout out to the beautiful Queen giving you this tour too 👑❤️
Bro this is my hometown!!!!!!!!! Let me tell you about by hometown we grind hard work hard we are the kindest people you will ever meet and we are also passionate
Every town has ppl that work hard and grind hard. Not just where u are at
Grow up in jamaica,Queens spend a lot of time in far rock , what we called it. When the young lady said "her fathers an uncles were wild azz N's. Yeah we were tat post civil-rights generation , we didn't do good.
Preach Skip.. I grew up in Edgemere between B.51st and B.59th st. Beach Channel Drive.
@@sashaprettyeyes2052 he didn’t say it was the only place dickhead.
@Tré 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 You know and i know the readers and viewers may not know but Hempstead is NO WHERE NEAR FAR ROCK its a 45 to 1 hr drive in traffic. You gotta hop that N31/N32 from the Terminal damn near to the last stop before u hit the Rock 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 If you said 5 towns or Rosedale i probably would of let you slide on that one 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
She is beautiful with a good vibe
Beautiful 💙
I agree! :)
Yes. She’s beautiful and very smart.
She aight
That lady is awesome. She can be an inspiration to so many women / girls coming up today I think.
This video and her story brought me to tears fr. I’m from corona queens, had a similar family structure as hers, just more toxic and codependent but my family moved to jersey during the pandemic where I was for a year + and I wasn’t rocking widdit so I saved and moved myself to Bushwick. Its like diff roomates, everything isn’t as close together, just not the same. So gentrified and these people lack the etiquette that I’m used to but this is my journey. As a young queen in this I hope my spirit stays as steady and strong as hers❤️
You look familiar you live out here in farrock?
@@dgainz3246 no i’m from Corona Queens
@Lynx oh OK how can I inbox you maybe we can link
Not from new York never been, but I love the way my black queens talk, with that accent
Thank you for the Video! Nobody gives Far Rockaway enough Love! It brought some Happy and Loving memories for me!! Thank u , I was brought up in Ocean Village! Respect My Brothas and Sistas!✊🏾🤲🏾🤝🏽🙏🏽👽

You remember Marios with they cheese fries?
bro J&M pizza tho
@@jackliner6136 facts
wonder if Vinnie is still at Ralphs
Word, I need to go back on a warmer day!
I'm from NYC love how people keep saying they love our NYC accents. Funny thing is living here you realize there isn't one NYC accent. All the five boroughs have their own lil accent. But thank yall for loving our accents. BING BONG!! LOVE MY CITY DAM IT. By the way the Bacon egg and cheese on a roll is a NYC staple. As well as the Chopped Cheese. They are Bodega specials..
omg she makes me feel so comfortable!!! im literally replaying this
I used to go a lot to far Rock away in the 90s and 2000....miss them days!!
She's mad gorgeous 😍
Yaaaaaas Far Rock❤ was my stomping ground!!!!. My moms lived out there for 30 years until her expiration at St John's last summer. I did my best to pursuade my mom to go to Mercy Medical in Long Island, but she wouldn't.
And like you, I always treasured my visits to NY to visit my mom. My daughter also spent her summers in NY and I would always be sure she brought NY snacks back to Georgia. LOL!
Yaaaas, on the Bodega deli... best food for your money.
Girl y'all have me missing my second home. I loooooved viewing the beach from my mom's window.
Thank you for sharing this. 👍🏽
That's so exciting. How are you liking it in Georgia?
Nyc got a lot of flavor an culture
Yes I always see that, I'm moving there.
Thank you for the great video. I grew up in Far Rockaway (Beach 27th Street) during the 1960s and 1970s. Moved out West in 1979; haven't been back to Far Rockaway since 1980 (yeah, I'm an old guy). This video brought back memories, but also made me realize that if I went back today, I probably wouldn't recognize it. I've felt led of late to pray for Far Rockaway and its people. Again, thank you for the excellent video!
She did a great job representing my hometown born and raised in Far Rockaway. RIP Stack Bundles & Chinx.🥰
Her dreads are wavy 🔥🖤
Yes yes 👏🏽👏🏽 they looked really good....
Dam brother you can see this kinda videos and I can see how much talent and intellectual people we have out there. This is amazing
👏🏾 👏🏾
Amazing job Regi, you’re an amazing host.
I love NYC videos. New York is on a different level. Yea don't forget brooklyn.
Nyc without stack is trash
@@aarondublin9025 nyc is trash in general
@TRUE Jackson don't pay him any mind nyc will always have haterz like him
If you're from Far Rockaway, you know the unique experience of living there. It'll always be home.
I'm from the north Bronx... and never went to Far Rock... what was unique about living there
@@nicolehorton5672 the fresh ocean air.
Yup far rockaway will always be home for me
@@nicolehorton5672 Its a little different I don't get the same vibe as I did when I was out in the South Bronx.
@@chyummy It crazy she said something about Jones Beach. No if not mistaken I remember Nas say something about Jarome neace got shot on her home from Jones beach. It was the song call one love off the the album illmatic. Now I could be wrong on how I said if so correct me it been along time since I heard that song but yeah she did in amazing job on the video.
I grew up in Far Rockaway (Brooklyn, too), went to FRHS, JHS 198, spent my teens in "town" on Central and Mott. I left in 1973 and have been back to drive through a couple of times. Thank you for this. It made my day!
She is beautiful and her vibe is very positive. Great video.
She's a beautiful woman and I love the pride she takes in her community and where she is from. Also, don't get me wrong, segregation definitely still exists. But when it comes to jews and hasidic jews in queens and the city, it's not so much segregation to keep certain races or people OUT, but more like trying to keep their people all together and IN, since they all live together pray together share everything have their own entire culture, economy and existence completely separate from the regular economy. Jewish restaurants, supermarkets, clothing, wigs, shoes, hats, kippas, etc. They all stick together and stay stuck together.
#STOPRACISM2021
She had me at antiquated ☺️
DEADASSSS
💯
Just amazing how she captured the essence of the city just by being who she is..very charming, charismatic and articulate Beautiful sista❤ #queensbaby🙌
Beautiful hostess. She is very well versed about her neighborhood. Love her complexion and hair. She gives me Nia Long and Angela Bassett vibes.
Yessssssss
New York and LA might as well be in different dimensions
Not really
Explain
No...oppression, lack of resources,opportunities for education,mindset etc just different manifestations of it
from someone who grew up in both places. THEY ARE
They really are. For one thing, you def need a car to get around LA. Meanwhile in NY theres ppl in their 30s without a license lol.
I want Ms. Angelou to be my tour guide when I visit New York
Rip Stack Bundles🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾
Big Props to Regi from Far Rockaway. Great Presentation. Way to stay true to your neighborhood!!
I could listen to her tell stories all day long.
Being from California, I’m always shocked when I see people while it’s snowing and not going crazy. Lol
Here, we have to travel to the mountains to see snow and even then it’s amazing.
it's cuz we're used to it, my cuz from Cali couldn't even handle 40 degrees lol
I feel you,I'm from Memphis and was up in Michigan and the snow was dam near knee deep and I was scared like "chicken little"when the sky was falling while the people that were actually from Michigan were going to and from like it was nothing
@@mackjuan2232 Memphis, would love to visit some day.
@@nolannolan7323 like most places it has it VERY good as well as VERY bad but for the most part it's beautiful city with beautiful people lots of history,lots of things to do and see and it's actually a pretty important city and LAWWWD HAMMUSSY don't get me started bout the bbq and soul food in some duck-offs and hideaways 😂I live in Evansville Indiana now which is the total opposite of Memphis not very pretty, not much GOOD history,not a lot to see or do and the food leaves alot to be desired 😑but I'm going home in a week or so and I can hardly wait
FAR ROOOCK!!!! Edgemere in da BUILDING!!! Salute to bruh for filming, and the lovely sista four touring. Much love
I lived in 40s projects in the 90s. , went to p.s106 but would have to walk to my grandmas in edgemere, why was y’all summers hotter than ours a few miles down the road Lolol ?
NY accents are special
In 1981 I had spent one month residing in 19th street very close to the ocean beach commuting every morning to Manhattan by the A train and return in the evening. I was 27yo and it was a nice experience. Thank you for this beautifull trip down memory lane.
Do Southside Jamaica Queens 🔥🤞🏽
Wow this world is so small!! Thank you for this, I was walking down memory lane right with you! I grew up in Far Rock and I also lived in Wavecrest, and I used to go to that same salon, went to St. Mary’s and all that!!!
Is 40s project building still there ?
Me too Shanequa. It’s like a memory lane for me too. Just moved out from Wavecrest to another state
it's cool to see this side of history. a lot of people don't understand it. but i do.
Thanks for the visuals & history of these areas. Good that you've discovered socioeconomic disparities of education. Well done works. I live in ENY off Conduit Boulevard across city line on the other side of Howard Beach. I frequently see & hear seagulls flying around my building. They be calling me back to the beach so they can jack my fruit offerings!😂😂😂
Love this video. Interesting and informative. Love her accent and locs! She's beautiful and a fantastic tour guide! Thanks for showing me around Far Roc-a-way! 😊
