I noticed how those people were looking. Seems like they saw something strange when you was passing....they were gazing as you passed by......what were you driving?
And at 1:11 mark it turns to the 90s. Looks at the guy in the blue baggy jacket with the hoodie on and jeans talking to the other guy on the corner. They didn't wear baggy clothes in the 70s or 80s
I was born in Harlem in the early 60s but raised in the Bronx. But I always went back across that 3rd ave bridge back to Harlem because I still had family there. Harlem has a lot of history Appollo cotton club ,renaissance ,Lenox lounge, celebrity club, Harlem state building, perks and so many different soul food restaurants. I love Harlem until they started gentrification. Ive had good times in Harlem. I also had good times in the Bronx . Both my parents were from the south they both moved to Newyork at a young age met each other in Harlem and got married in 1941 they were married for 53 years until they both passed away. My father was a motorman for transit and my my was a nurse in Harlem hospital.
I lived in NJ, went on a field trip to NYC, 4th grade bus drove through Harlem in 1970. People were fighting on the stoop, and we all looked & giggled. I will never forget it!
My father was a MTA bus driver in Harlem back in the day .Retired in 89.He had some rough days , but won the fight.. He took no shit no matter what race you were .

My uncle is from Durham and met my aunt in nyc as he moved up at the tender age of 17 lol. My pops and his sibs are from harlem but moved to the bronx and I was born in bklyn but when we moved to the bronx i used to play in those abandoned buildings and over the rubble of the demolished buildings... Thinking that shit was how everyone lived smh.. lol memories...
Somebody on every stoop. Just turned 30 this year and for those out of town I'd say NY died in 2014. It will be missed dearly. Oh and it wasn't killed by Gentrification, it's just who wants to pay 1100 a month for the projects and be in danger?. Hippies don't mind the tenements, Native New Yorkers want more for themselves, respectfully 🗽
This the New York I remember growing up ..the New NY is SOFT!!..Nobody scared of New York no more. But back in the day if you weren’t from NY you were kind of scared to go out there. Shits different now.
Why should the citizens of NY be ivin in terror in the wealthiest city in the world? I'm from Chicago we have had consistently sky high murder rates since the 1960's and even before that during Prohibition...I'm tired of the crime and murder.
@@EsmeraldaWolfsbane7777 yeah its been bad especially in the Bronx but people arent scared of New York like in the 70's and 80's .. with all the run down buildings and dirty subway.
@Extinguish Idiot's I don't see what growing up has to do with rough times in the old nyc compared the new "soft" nyc. His choice of words may be a tad off but he's not wrong on how bad it was. You tell him to grow up followed by "real talk". Sounds like someone needs to literally grow up. He sounds like he's 20 and you sound like you're 7 to be fair, since you are a poor judge at determining age groups to begin with. Facts.
I’m 52 years old born and raised in Washington Heights. I surly remember seeing all of this whaling was definitely sight for sore eyes for sure. Im glad things have somewhat evolved for the better since then. NYC was beyond bad.
Nice video took me back I was born in Harlem in 1963 a lot of Harlem did look like this but then a lot didn't you had very nice areas in Harlem back then that wasn't dilapidated looking .
Great video. Back then everyone looking at the car because them cameras 🎥 back then were huge 😂😂 Now you don’t even know a dude in a car is filming you
just saying, the rides back then were way better than they are now. all I see in this video are some sexy cars that you won't find in that condition ever again
It's hard to believe in the early 90's they were offering people to buy those brownstones in Harlem for $1. But back then no one wanted to live out there. Now those brownstones are worth 1 million. and up.
That's why i laugh everytime i heard someone complaining about the NYC been bad .. like man you should see the 70,80 and 90 with over 2000 murders per year and now less than 600.
Many of those former slums in the Bronx, Harlem, lower east side, and Brooklyn have been gentrified and some of them look like very pampered places to live today.. Still some areas are a bit rough though..
@@duckmercy11 I'm just saying overall.. I'm not saying every place is gentrified and beautiful.. And Harlem is still nowhere near as bad as it was in the 70's and 80's.. That's not my opinion that's a fact check the crime stats.. There were parts of Queens in the 80's that had higher violent crime stats then Harlem has today..
How times have changed. Back then it was easy living Back then Miss Rent was easy to pay for Back then Blacks Love Blacks And back then all the property that poor people couldn't afford to buy so white came in the neighborhood and brought all our buildings raised the rent and put us out. Now look at those same neighborhood s . Much cleaner, still got Snakes but the property is nicer looking but Miss Rent price went up over the years. Damn Miss Rent you are expensive to live in. You better keep me warm
Did you read the video description and the pinned comment ? It says part pf the footage is from the 70's and part from the early 80's. If that's a 91 model how could it be out in the 80's ? That model was out since the early 80's
Chill.. some of this was recorded in the early 1980s because I just saw a mark 2 Honda Civic Hatchback with the black bar on the hatch which was released in 1980-1982
I came from South Carolina when I was 2 years old with my oldest sister and my parents Harlem was was terrible at night if you lived near nightclub our parents move to the Bronx in 1959 I think all five boroughs was in this bad condition after a while we had a slumlord we realized after 1970 he wasn't fixing our repairs and our homes eventually the junkie starts stealing pipes and that forced the neighborhood people of four buildings to start moving out on Brook Avenue and today they trying to rob Us blind for rent and these European landlords who allow supers who either drink or do drugs to take care of these buildings they're not nycha is ridiculous I never thought I would end up in the projects but you know I try to make my home a happy home where I'm at is a good spot I want to downsize but I'm afraid they might put me in another bad NYCHA BUILDING. I'm over 60 and I saw how some of the senior citizen NYCHA buildings are being kept also🤐
If you want to see how quickly cities evolve watch this video, a video of Harlem in the 80's and then one of Harlem in the 40's. There's a massive difference in just 4 decades how quickly Harlem changed. Then look at Harlem now.
Believe it or not, growing up in the HOUSING PROJECTS South Bronx In the 70's, as I did, was much Nicer than most of those tenement Buildings in my Neighborhood..
Unpopular opinion:Yes I know harlem was f--ked up back in the day but atleast it wasn't as bad the bronx was especially with alot of the neighborhoods in the south bronx being nearly wiped out due to the fires in the apartment buildings being burnt out along with causing a lot of them them to be abandoned.
I want take a time travel and go back...according to the Schlabubvvo doctrine in Europe the greens tell that most people are not necessary and dangerous for the climate so many people will have to be removed....however.. I dont want to go through a chimney for climate sake.
