Killing Rockaway - A Documentary

- Опубликовано: 6 сен 2024
- Created mid-quarantine, this short doc follows a personal story about a town that has gone through several massive changes; including the destruction of an important landmark, Rockaway's Playland. We follow my father as he talks about his thoughts and experiences back when it was still standing tall.
Shot, directed, and edited by myself during lockdown 2020

Wow great memories, grew up there.. We would go to Rockaway Playland every weekend in the summers! Good old days
There was a great Irish Pub, The Irish Circle. Great memories there hanging out with my sister and her future husband. I wish I could remember the name of the band playing, but we got them to play at my sister's wedding. Fun times
I remember the Irish circle! It’s possible that, if the band was local, they were Wine With Sue??? They’re probably the most famous local band
@@StopSmokeDie I’m getting too old lol. Damned if I can remember lol
Irish Circle is gone and now getting ready for first tenants to move in.
My hometown😊😊😊😊
Lindsay killed it in the 1970s. It was NYC's dumping ground. Welfare hotels and mental patient nursing homes. I'm glad tgat its coming back alive now.
It’s coming back alive for certain people over others. Far Rockaway is still left in the dust, with little funding going to a community that arguably needs it more than Rockaway Beach; where rich people and high prices have taken over.
Great town
Great New York accents. lol I grew up in Howard Beach. Went to Playland and Beach Channel High School
Wasn’t that long ride it took about an hour to get to the city from far Rockaway my home town and I still love it
Wavecrest was the best place to grow up in 2008 3A and 2020 DD Ricky Laplaca building my best friend
Can’t afford to live there anymore now you got to be rich to live in the rockaways and far Rockaway but it will always be my home town thank God I grow up in the right time 60s 70s and 80s we left in the beginning of the 90s I will always love ❤️ far Rockaway because it’s my home town Hod bless her and all the great memories it brings back to me I love far Rockaway now a big chance is coming on money is here a you need to be rich to live here now
My parents moved here in the 80’s. We slowly got priced out and now I basically live in an attic. I love Rockaway, but gentrification is and arguably has killed it.
Iish town was great. so many immigrants "legal ones" had a great place to go right in NYC.
Immigrants of all types are welcomed in America. No one is an illegal immigrant on stolen land.
Illegal aliens are not supposed to be welcome in america.@@StopSmokeDie
Great town
