This kid KNOWS what he's talkin about. Brownsville (Ocean Hill, Stuyvesant Heights) M.O.P., Boot Camp Click, John Gotti, Murder Inc. & Mike Tyson were all Brownsville residents. Really the only other places in NYC similar to the crime waves and destruction back then were the Lower East Side (Alphabet City/L.E.S.) Manhattan, Harlem Manhattan, South Bronx, Red Hook Brooklyn, East New York Brooklyn, Crown Heights Brooklyn, Bed-Sty Brooklyn, Coney Island Brooklyn, Bushwick Brooklyn, Soundview Bronx, Hunts Point Bronx, Hell's Kitchen Manhattan, South Jamaica Queens & Rockaway Queens. All were DANGEROUS and LAWLESS areas back in late 1960s to mid 1990s.
@@bigsurge5906 No doubt, Not to far from me. I used to live on New York Ave between Beverly and Cortelyou. Use to pass by your way all the time walking to school. Or taking a dollar cab on ave D. I use to go to Nazareth regional H.S. not to far from Tilden. H.S. close to you. You already Know!.
Seth Low I'm from New Haven Connecticut I know how to get there with my eyes closed my father still lives there although he doesn't have to he can certainly afford to live in a better neighborhood but that's his home that's what he knows and everyone shows have nothing but love and respect
Buttercup58 whatchu expect, it’s the hood of all hoods in NY and ain’t nothing pretty about it. The Ville not a game or a joke. Them streets is some of the hardest in the whole NYC..official facts💯‼️
I lived there over on Blake Ave when I was a kid in the late 70s to the start of the 80s. Went to school at what is named Betty Shabazz today. Rickety elevators that smelled of urine. Blood in the stairwell. Broken glass everywhere. Rough times. That said, it’s an oddly nostalgic feeling seeing these streets again after over 40 years.
I live in northern Canada and always found big cities like this to be fascinating. I could never live around so many other people and the traffic, but it's interesting to see.
Love Canada except for their Covid craziness lately. When I was a kid in the early 60’s my family went to Omemee, Ontario to go fishing. I couldn’t live in NYC either. Even though I live in basically good area I wish I could be out in the country. This channel allows me to see these New York areas safely.

10 secs in, my childhood church on 900 Rockaway between Lott ave and Hegeman ave...walking up you'll see the 3 train on Livonia ave and Rockaway ave...Brownsville!😊
I suggest you give some locations and directions, such as, “Heading East on Linden Blvd, turning right onto the service road of the Van Wyck Expressway and now heading south.” Some of us know these neighborhoods but cannot see the street signs. Otherwise, I love these videos. Keep up the great work!
I love the old architecture too, Mooney, and thanks for the tour! I believe I've seen you drive past that same post office in another video. Maybe on the way to the Hole? Anyway, thanks again! Always excellent videos!
Good shit. What I’ve learned in my hood is that if you just simply be the nice guy then everyone just nice to you. But if you acting tough then you in trouble with everyone else.
That's good life advice no matter what, Lucky. Be nice, give and expect to get respect, keep the tough part hidden so if it has to come to the fore, look out! My experience is that someone who needs to front that attitude 24/7 ain't got shit to back it up.
Love these vids brody, very informative! Can't wait for you to do East New York, been hearing lately that itll be gentrified but havent seen shit in terms of gentrification lately
Drive down Atlantic Ave between Logan street and Pennsylvania Ave. Brand new paved roads sidewalks flower medians and old fashioned street posts lights installed. It's coming.
@@kevinjairam2873 well that cant be enough to warrant gentrification. I mean then that'd be saying that incoming yuppies can only get nice roads and such. Still havent seen any white people
OMFG I lost it when you said Stuntman & Cameraman were your uncle & father! What a coincidence! I love them! Was just randomly watching RUclips videos.
Fortunoff's was on Livonia Avenue as you said but it was in East New York, not Brownsville. Sadly the areas have been re-districted by the pols. Now, ENY is what used to be called New Lots. New Lots was a city at one time which was dissolved at the time of the consolidation of 1898 which created the City of Greater New York. Thanks for the tour.
I liked the video. To me it seems like a tough neighborhood to live in. Don't think anyone would like to own a business there either. It's probably all because it's too expensive to live in the better parts of town. Great tour bro
I doubt if I'll ever visit New York because I'm spoiled rotten hunting and fishing in Canada, so it's really nice to have a chance to get a tour of Brownsville on channels like this. Thanks for posting this.
My father was born and raised here. He was a hardass cuz of it. Have you done East Flatbush? I lived on E 40th and Lenox Rd, around the corner from Kings County Hospital
MOONEY, I know Paulie Vario and his brother Tuddy had the Pitkin Avenue Cab Company as there front back in the day. Some of the older Murder Inc. guys used to hang around there, Henry Hill, Burke, etc. Could you swing back again and show what it looks like today? Thanks, love the videos.
I live here and I’ve never felt unsafe even though a kid got shot over a basketball me and my little siblings were walking from school and saw them cleaning the blood. And the next day it’s like it never happened. Me and my older sister sometimes walk around at night but we’ve never been robbed or anything like that.
Brownsville also isn’t the ideal to live due to it’s location in Brooklyn. Certain parts of park slope which are apparently called south slope which is weird but we still call it park slope lol That “south slope” region from 3-7 av where packed with coke dealers and gang violence that it’s amazing how far it came to changing. Only because of the great location that basically allows anyone to reach manhattan on subway in less than 15 minutes. My father ego emigrated from Mexico to America in the 70’s said park slope was dangerous in the 80 and 90’s as he was robbed. Times have changed and park slope is definitely Brooklyn’s finest places to live
@@MOONEYDashCam Wouldn’t bother me so much as I would expect this to happen in a dense area. My city is the size of 5 states combined, so being so wide open, people would lose their shit.
Brownsville is very much gentrified now. Yuppies are buying all the Brownstones and Businesses beyond Atlantic Ave. You can’t find a house in the section of “ocean Hill” for less than $1.5M
I used to work for a deli close there. On rockaway parkway and ave D . By the pepsi company. Crazy people be over there . And a lot of girls been kidnapped and raped
The police @ 73rd pct are a big part of the reason crime flourished in Brownsville since the turn of the 20th century. A lot of corrupt police were removed, but until this day that Pct still has too many corrupt police in it. However, it did make a big difference in crime in the area & personal safety; when the corruption was reduced, new single family houses replaced overgrown lots & new residents with less tolerance for mediocrity ,began fighting & speaking out against the ills of the neighborhood, along side long time residents. There is still crime , drugs & inconsistent services rendered in Brownsville, but the area itself is far better than it was. Btw, Brownsville is much larger than you stated & there is also OceanHill Brownsville.
I grew up in Brownsville. There were some great times too! Don't forget the Brownsville Recreation Center. I always said they will never gentrify, Brownsville.
j e :your absolutely right! Fort Greene & the Navy Yard are being renovated big time. Fort Greene has already changed significantly. Investors are fighting over property they would have written off 20 years ago.
Me and my boss often laugh at that street van snirden. It’s the perfect block for an ambush. We call it ambush ave. See what you can find out about that block.
Ive been workin there for 20 years. I'm a white guy and I'm pretty comftorble there. My father survived the 70s and hes one of a handful of businesses that didnt jump ship. It was so bad that people just left their businesses and buildings. Hes got some stories
I walked all over Brownsville as a visiting nurse & I have been in most of the housing developments, private homes & alternative housing in the neighborhood. I have never been mugged, intimidated, had my car stolen, or been threatened in any way. In fact, once ppl began to realize I was a nurse serving the community they started befriending me,watching my car, escorting me in some places, telling me the best places to park, what streets to avoid, etc. I was welcomed & treated with respect by thugs, & ordinary ppl alike & I had absolutely no fear of being there. I actually was more afraid of Brighton, CI, bay ridge & parts of Bensonhurst where ppl’s cars would be broken into on the regular, junkies would stand in your way nearly demanding a contribution & I was unsuccessfully robbed twice, hmmm. I exercise caution anywhere I go because it’s not really about the neighborhood your in; it’s about the individual ppl that make up that neighborhood. Ppl are unpredictable, so you should be as well.
My grandparents lived on Saratoga in the 20s. My mom worked in a factory on lavonia. Eventually she met my dad who was tied in with the mob. Italian/Jew mix couples were common back then. So yes I'm a mutt lol. Thanks for going over the history of this area.
@mopoligist420 I don't believe that. White people are untouchable in minority neighborhoods. Whereas, others are not, because they don't "snitch" - for fear of retribution.
I’m searching for my father in the Brownsville area he don’t know I even exist his name is Kevin he use to go by Water and hung with a guy name Gerard back in the day they close to 50 now. They use to be on Rockaway Parkway around the corner from Pitkin Avenue. If you can help in anyway let me know!
My mom lived there till the late-60s. Saratoga and Blake I think? Pretty much became uninhabitable. They moved to a housing project in Sheepshead Bay :lol:
Murder Inc in the 30s 40s 50s. Gay Lords in the early 70s(Grafton/Livonia). Drug crews in the 80s. Decepticons n Lo Life in the late 80s. Crips and Blood in the 90s. Sutter Blocc, DumonT, RIVERdale, LoTT aka ⚾️MLB Ville⚾️

@@MOONEYDashCam sounds like an asshole to me. Ive been working on Junius st since 95. How bad the area is depends on where your standing and what time your standing there. Commercial or industrial areas during the day are fine.

I worked in Brownsville on Saratoga and Riverdale aves, never been afraid and I was working at night. I think the 73rd precinct is around there, not sure. Just watch your back and be vigilant no matter where you go. Yes it has the highest concentration of housing projects but I have never had a reason to fear anything. It was worse back in the day, but it's surely gotten much better plus the urban renewal aka gentrification has played a part in the shift of demographics as well. Plenty of Asian, white and immigrants are moving in.
I agree I work in that area also and have never had a problem I was just reporting the stats I was reading I was as shocked as anyone learning how dangerous it could be

mixtape_events_dj Award Winner I work there everyday and I’m out with the people if you don’t act like a punk then you don’t get bothered... and who are you?
@@MOONEYDashCam sounds like an asshole to me. Ive been working on Junius st since 95. How bad the area is depends on where your standing and what time your standing there. Commercial or industrial areas during the day are fine.
pclutch yeah that’s what I’m saying
Stay in Yo Line and don’t go outside at night and you aight
wow the closed caption works great
for the most part
And for the record yes I’d still move to Brownsville I’m just too uptown at this point so I’m cool on the ville but the k is lit fr
The place seems so flat. Amazing 👍
And if you do get shot, don't go to Brookdale!
I did enjoy thanks👍
SPARK IT UP AND SMOKE THAT MARY JANE. FROM SA * TEXAS TO YOU
The iron triangle should be bombville lol love it tho.
Very true
I lived right next door in east ny and that whole area is rough as fuck.
Yeah it’s real out there
Middle school to the left at 11:39 Actor Omar Epps mom was principle of this school🥰
The valves are really clattering on the truck.
It was an exhaust leak
@@MOONEYDashCam - That’ll cause clatter, glad ya caught it… Cool channel BTW! Ever think of showing us some of the locations associated with the Howard Stern Show? Even a Dominic Barbara (Howie’s hotshot lawyer friend) story and a drive past one of his former Long Island mansions would deliver you a truckload of traffic to your channel…. Dominic’s fall from grace is an interesting story…
You didn't tell us the name of any of the projects you drove by :(
I worked in Brownsville on Saratoga and Riverdale aves, never been afraid and I was working at night. I think the 73rd precinct is around there, not sure. Just watch your back and be vigilant no matter where you go. Yes it has the highest concentration of housing projects but I have never had a reason to fear anything. It was worse back in the day, but it's surely gotten much better plus the urban renewal aka gentrification has played a part in the shift of demographics as well. Plenty of Asian, white and immigrants are moving in.
I agree I work in that area also and have never had a problem I was just reporting the stats I was reading I was as shocked as anyone learning how dangerous it could be
@@MOONEYDashCam Oh yeah it was bad back in the days, just think to Lean On Me and Coming To America...that's how rough it was especially during the crack epidemic.
Wasn't East New York ?
I hated goin to that little ugly green clinic on rockaway when I was a kid.
