Everything Colin does should have 100 times the views they currently do. It's almost (ALMOST) reassuring because it validates my feeling that everything about our culture and mainstream entertainment sucks. The great Colin Quinn still deserves more, though. Thanks for all the laughs over the years. You and the whole Cellar Crowd have been my antidote to all this banality.
I LOVE these walks. I grew up in East NY Brooklyn in the 50s and early 60s and all the lines of demarcation were based on churches and schools: Our Lady of Loreto, Our Lady of Lourdes, Presentation, etc. Mafia clubhouses protected the neighborhood and conveniently, there were two funeral parlors on the block just in case...
Something most transplants don’t realize, is that growing up in New York, there were some blocks you just never went to. Literally the city falls off the face of the earth on those blocks.
fantasitic. Love the visual aides and editing! I just told someone who came the first time to NY. Spend 10 min in Times Square, go to a show,....... but visit the OLD SCHOOL NYC and buildings. "we" cannot lose these to the new world thinking. love Colin's shirt....perfect!
@@colinquinnI'm struggling in the bizness decades in front , behind the camera 📸, why cant a door open for me by u or this guy on a reboot of cop show or anything ? Saw u once walking through times Square, no one seem to recognize u 😊 . I hope u haven't done all the things your buddy jimmy Norton has done throughout manhattan . 😅😅😅😊😊
COLIN! When I landed in NYC on 4-1-1987 (April f**king fools day to me), I lived in a 5th floor walkup on 10th b 47th and 48th, right across from Hell's Kitchen Park, where the drug dealer sat on my front stoop and who, after telling him I'd just moved there, actually told me where to walk to be safe. Loved New York.
Colin I love this series you’re doing. Real good stuff. My grandparents and father moved from the Westside out to Queens and I’d always love to hear stories about manhattan.
You know who you need? The Mullen Brothers; former NHLers. Great Hockey players from Hell's Kitchen. You need to do a walk around with Brian, and Joe Mullen. edit oh you mention the Mullens
Yeah I just googled Bobby and I definitley knew his family. He might know the Crimmins or Mortons or Moodys from that area. Great to see how well he has done. When he mentioned the Irish Virus, yeah, that's us. If you remember the movie "The Westies" with Sean Penn, that's us. I remember the tragedy of his brother Tommy, named afte his dad the longshoreman. The union hall was on 12th ave. The hard working guys showed up early 6:30 to get work for the day.
Bobby was the perfect choice. He was in the cross hairs of everything and everyone. He is also articulate enough to explain the very complicated environment we all grew up in. He is smart enough to censor some things as well. He was smart enough to get the F out and was very good to my brother Rick when he went out to Hollywood in the 70s. Tell Bobby my sister Karen says hi. Keep it up Colin, it will all be only folklore soon and fade away.
Funny...I grew up in a neighborhood in north St. Louis in the 60's, though on a reduced scale, not unlike this. Unions, merchants, and wiseguys in what certainly seemed a "paradise" for us. Well, at least it made something like a sense. Then the Godzilla of suburbia, and you know the rest. (fugghedaboudit)...
