    I grew up in Hamilton Beach. In the early 80's I remember some kids from the neighborhood found a head in a gym bag just off Conduit Ave. They found it in a small wooded area that was called the spooks. We would ride our bikes there often. Thank God we never saw anything like that.

    When I moved to the U.S., my first home for 3 years was by Blake and Drew Streets in the Hole. At 16, I had no idea who John Gotti was, until I saw bulldozers digging up bodies from my bedroom window. As a teenager, I thought it was crazy to hear that dozens of bodies were buried 100 feet away from our house, especially moving from an openly crime-ridden country to an unexpected, clandestine crime-ridden area. You just never who's who or what's what, when you go anywhere. 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

      Lindenwood is actually part of Howard Beach. I grew up there, but I no longer live there. I remember walking over from where I live to the TSS Department store on LInden Blvd just over the Brooklyn Border in what people would call East New York. TSS was like a cheap version of KMart, but defintely not as nice. A friend of mine drove me to that section of across the Border now just past LInderwood and it is built up a lot there. I do remember the Horses there, but I don't remember the Black Cowboys. I think I moved out there long before the Black Cowboys came.

A vacant place to turn into a cemetery at night. If a Cop was looking for action, I guess this would be the place to find a dead body, a stolen car and of course a mobster.

    I grew up in Brooklyn. This was common knowledge to us back then. They used to also dump bodies at the docks by the gowanus. The area is a bit cleaned up with Costco and other merchants but an ex gf of mine, her told me stories about they find bodies back there all the time. Over there in East NY where you're filming I have family over there. My uncles told me people used to live back there and still do. They'd see the mafia pulling up late at night pulling bodies out the trunk. This is one of the big reasons why they took so long to build that shopping center. I heard everything they start digging they'd find another body. The same as you mentioned at the dump behind gateway. I'm not sure if you're aware but the Lindenwood diner is the diner from goodfellas. Everybody in those projects knew about this. You could see them from the terrace at night. The old Brooklyn

I was about 12 y.o. and Mike had one of those 1920's "Tommy guns" you see in the gangster movies. Mike said "Let the kid hold it" and passed it to me. Mike was in a wheelchair from some kind of disability or injury but was an expert on guns.

    Great tour of Howard Beach! I’ve never actually been there when I lived in Queens, as I never had a reason to hang there. Interesting, but unless I had a truck like yours I’d probably avoid the flooded streets. Is there an actual beach there?
    Okay, so I had another idea for a “tour” if you think it’d make a good video. It’s Fort Totten in Bayside Queens. When I lived there it was strictly military and no civilians were allowed. Now I believe the state of NY owns it and it’s kind of a park with a visitor center. It dates way back to Civil War days, with tons of historical significance. Do some research and see you think.

    Not too long ago, the city put signs up preventing people from turning off on the Block after Linwood diner to avoid the traffic on Linden Boulevard going into the conduit because the folks at Howard Beach didn’t want the traffic going through their neighborhood. There are definitely more bodies out there, but for the police to get court ordered warrants to dig up over there at somebody’s business takes a lot of red tape as well as plenty of logistics, it’s just too much tax dollars just to find a few bodies or two

      If there was evidence of someone who was not a mobster and was an innocent victim the police do the work. You are right it’s not worth it for people who take an oath to kill each other, even when they find a body, the mob offers no help. They know it’s a rathole not worth going down.

    In 1996 they found my pops car burning there. It was weird, NYPD sent us a letter a month later saying they have our half burned car and it was evidence for another crime. Never saw the car after it was stolen from Sunnyside. And they would never answer us or our insurance about the car.

    I lived on 82 and 151 ave in the late 70’s as a kid. I was familiar with that area. It was less active back then, and was creepy and we avoided it. There used to be a lot of wooden structure homes that dated way back in time. the neighborhood is Lindenwood and was pretty much built in the early60’s.
    Further down there was a big field and across it was a garbage incinerator that stunk up the neighborhood. I think we went n there with bikes and got chased out by dogs....so never again. We used to cross into Brooklyn to go to McDonalds and TSS (Time Sq Stores) never ventured further than that .
    We used to call the Horse Ranch, The Dude Ranch. We used to sled down a hill on the outskirts of it.
    Interesting that bodies were dumped there since a lot of those guys made their home in HB. My family ended up moving to New England and it was years later that I understood why HB was a safe place to live .

      Grew up there in the 70's as well. lived on 153rd Ave. The wooden structure homes at the edge of the neighborhood you mention , from what I recall they were on a dirt road and in a sunken area. It was an odd little area, entering it was like leaving NYC and winding up in a small southern town. Used to use that road as a shortcut to TSS. Pretty sure it has all been torn down, I'm just curious as to where it was and can't find it on a map. Living in LA now and feeling nostalgic.

    Nice tour. Ten years ago this month, I met up with a bunch of folks for a photo walk through The Hole. We were on foot, and luckily the area was a little less flooded than what you found. Still plenty of large puddles, but we were able to walk most of the streets. That new shopping center at Linden Blvd and South Conduit Ave was essentially just a huge mound of dirt at the time. We also checked out Cedar Lane Stables, where the Federation of Black Cowboys still had a presence. And then we crossed the pedestrian bridge that you shot and headed over to Bayside/Acacia Cemetery for a look around. That was an interesting walk. The Hole apparently looks pretty much the same 10 years later.

    That was a TERRIFIC ride, thanks so much for it!! The Hole is a truly fascinating place - heavenly in its horror, if you know what I mean. That flood water is truly creepy, though. Looks like a cesspool of bile teeming with enough germs and bacteria to make your hair stand on end, YUGGGGHHHHH!! How it must STINK!!! 😝😝😝 During another RUclips trip to The Hole, the filmmaker walked through these nasty waters on foot, and I damn-near gagged!! Fortunately he didn't venture forth too far! Anyway, there's the flooding amid those lots of overgrown weeds surrounded by slum dwellings and housing projects with a secret mobster boneyard right in the center of it all!! Amusement parks ought to create replicas of The Hole to really creep people out!! The antithesis of the Fun House and the Tunnel of Love!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 But if anyone tries to gentrify The Hole like they have done to so much of NYC, I say we form a lynch mob and bury the bodies in that boneyard!! 😄😄😄😉

I had a nice big home in the county plenty of land nice neighborhood. Baltimore city is a cesspool. Stay away from Baltimore City !As my mother got older I wanted to move not far from where she was living . I now live in Howard Beach. My honest opinion of Queens I think it's sucks! It's over crowded it's overpriced there were too many low-lying areas when it rains many homes they are basements get flooded .Everything in Howard Beach is expensive whether it be going out to dinner going to your local Italian restaurant everything is overpriced. The roads are absolutely horrible destroy your car. Many areas impossible to park. Been living here for about 18 months now looking to move out not sure exactly where I want to go. Definitely something with more property less people low crime rate smooth roads. Fair pricing this has been an honest review from somebody that's been around I have lived in other areas that I did not mention because we're talking about the hole in Howard Beach. I didn't think it was necessary to bring up every little spot that I lived.
