My husband and I lived off the Myrtle-Wyckoff stop almost 10 years ago.. long before it was really being gentrified.. then we moved to Williamsburg and hated it.. and then went on to live in Sugar HIll in Harlem until we left the city. You two are AWESOME to watch.. thanks for keeping us entertained!
My grandmother's family was from Williamsburg and Bushwick (Schaefer
street) :)
That is a very interesting and drastic contrast from where I live, but your descriptions were good and hilarious. There are no passenger trains here, the only one was shut down and removed in the 1940s. It's very rural. I LOVE the idea of passenger trains though and wish we had it back! Not exactly the same kind of train as you have.
Lovin' the new intro guys! Hahaha kinda fitting for the talk about trains ;)
Tralala Loopy Right? The animation was inspired by the banner designed by Jeremy's brother.
I agree, nice new open.
Joe McGowan Thanks, Joe! We're glad you liked it :)
Omg, when you told us the story on the train and how disappointed someone would be if they missed it was SO FUNNY!!!! It would be like going through all that work for nothing. If I was there, I would block the doors so people could rush in, cause I'm a nice person :) Love you guys!!! The Two Beeps are my peeps :D
EDIT: Also, please tell more stories :)
PopcornLover1226 We're glad you liked our train anecdote :P
And yes, we will tell more stories! We Beeps are the peeps to the Beepsters!
Two Beeps YAY!!! Looking forward to story time :D
no way omg i've lived in bushwick my whole life!. its so strange watching all these places transform but in way it adds some light and positivity. even if i can barely afford it anymore haha.
Harley Ray YAY fellow Bushwickian :) Yeah, the rising rent is totally nuts. And we've only been here for 2.5 years! We shudder to think about what it's going to cost in a few years.
Magnifico!
I was born in Bensenhurst, and lived my early life midway between the T and the N (West End/SeaBeach - don't know the letters anymore) on Bay Pkwy.
It used to be a nice Jewish/Italian neighborhood (perfect mix), but now it's very different (non mi piace).
cjay2 Wow! I'm sure Brooklyn has changed massively since you lived here. There isn't even a "T" line anymore! I know a couple people who live in Bensonhurst, and we tease them for living so far away haha. Grazie CJay! Ci parliamo presto.
i feel like jj but agree with them two beeps we could all get along .
I love the intro!
Rebekkah Amerine Thanks! Eight-frame animations aren't too difficult ;-)
Beep you! love you guys xoxo
SprinkleofWilly Beep you too!
(btw the new intro is super cool and I love it so much)
Try going up to Ridgewood. Less diverse maybe, but more livable. Used to take the el from there into Wall St every morning.
***** We have a few friends in Ridgewood and they definitely pay less for rent, but the neighborhood hasn't quite undergone a revolution yet. If we get squeezed out of Bushwick, we very well might end up there!
I read an article that they are trying to give ridgewood a Williamsburg feel
Yeah key word trying, but tilting toward Euro. but the place to be in a few years
I just visited New York! We stayed in Queens, but Brooklyn looked a lot better. (: I want to move to Brooklyn!
Blake Stults Brooklyn would love to have you! Where do you live now? There are some cool spots in Queens too, but it's not quite as hip and trendy ;)
I always wanted to live in New York, it's a cool place to live in :D And the area where you guys live in sounds pretty interesting too! :D
Quick, move here before rent becomes $8,000/month!

:O Whutt? That's cray! My allowance wouldn't be enough to keep me stay there even for a week xD
I don't understand how big cities or subway work at all because we have neither in Slovenia. So this video was a tad confusing :)
I can't wait to send you stuff (it might take a while though) :D
AnaBeingBored It seems daunting, but once you visit a city and take the public transit, it makes a lot more sense. We're excited to see what you have in store for us
I live in Bushwick Ave!
I literally just subscribed because I live in bushwick.
yayy you have a p.o. box
Ooooooh! Nice intro!
ThatGuyNamedElliot Thanks! It's a little spicier than our previous black-background one :)
Two Beeps Was it an After Effects job hahahahaha?
OK, getting late, can't be assed to check ALL the comments, & ive watched 8-9 vids so far tonight...... anyways..."you like the bush?" ... yes I said it, Jerm you cut the vid, just before Jons reaction... and now 2 years later, we all KNOW, John likes the Bush - enuf said ! x
New subscriber here, Love this channel!
Two Beeps I actually plan to move to Brooklyn (possibly Bushwick) in the fall and you guys are totally right. Apartments in Brooklyn have become the equivalent in price to Midtown Manhattan. I am still debating if I want to just live in the city or pay the same to have to take the subway every day from Brooklyn. What do you guys think? A great point though was the price of everything else in the city. Question? What type of rent should I expect? I have found a couple places, in Williamsburg, East Williamsburg, Downtown BK, Brooklyn Heights and Dumbo surprisingly but I don't know if I am being taken advantage of with the prices. I've found a place for each and will visit in a few weeks to decide which neighborhood is the best for me. I like to have the city at my doorstep with a cultured, neighborly environment in my surroundings. I really enjoy cooking and entertaining. And I am all about adventures in and out of the city. I must have diversity. Any suggestions?
Christopher Davis Hey Christopher! Glad to hear you're planning on moving to our amazing city. Choosing a neighborhood to live in can be tricky, so we're happy to help in any way we can.
The Brooklyn neighborhoods you mentioned are definitely the most expensive markets in our borough (but are also rich in culture and stuff to do, though not necessarily the most diverse). If your budget would allow you to live in any of these neighborhoods, you should consider looking in Manhattan as well. Personally, we'd recommend the East Village. The price point is similar to Williamsburg & DUMBO and there's plenty of diversity. Plus, the East Village is home to some amazing dining opportunities - literally at your doorstep - and you don't need to rely on the subway!
If your budget isn't as grand as you initially thought, we'd recommend any of these budding neighborhoods: Harlem, Washington Heights, Astoria, Long Island City, Ridgewood, Bushwick, Bed Stuy, Crown Heights, Prospect Heights, Sunset Heights, Flatbush.
hey no burp from my favorite beep
Subways/trains confuse me:') There's so many letters and I just don't get them. (I think the fact that I live in a super small town is showing a bit..) I'm SO excited to send you guys stuff:) I've been planning stuff to send you ever since you said that you were going to make one soon! So once I can find some freaking time to do something besides homework I'll send it your way:))
Avery McCauley When you actually visit a big city and study the subway map, it becomes a lot less confusing, we promise! Take your time, but we're excited to see what's coming our way
Now I just need an excuse to go to Montreal again so I can figure out this subway thing this time. I was to young last time😂
The London Tube is a piece of piss, can't go wrong - take a vacation here ... (buts its old and noisy)
Hyde park, MA of Boston here.
I'll be moving there next month! transit stories don't seem to be all that positive & since i'll be going to school in NJ i'm a bit worried... Is it really that bad?
Jeremy, what happened to the tie, I thought you were setting a trend?? :D
you didn't specify though, is it a safe neighborhood where you life?
lots of love from your austrian beep
tbh, when I read bush, i thought of bushy pubes.
so awkotaco. but you guys allow me to be part of your conversation.
ps. totes need to go to that vegan cafe ;))
C'mon, who doesn't love some bushy pubes? ;)
OMGGGGGGGGGG STOP YOU TWO.
If the line of Williamsburg keeps moving towards the east it will not be that bad...
ItsJust Eli True. Except in rent costs!
True loads of people will have to move out
This video just makes me sad
Me too. The face of white washing a once culturally diverse neighborhood and transforming it into an artificial haven for the arrogant, cocky and privileged out of state individuals. Nyc is becoming like fla. Artificial, overly expensive and full of the must shittiest people from cali to georgia.
Aw dang it I was gonna send cheese
As someone who lives in Michigan I'm thoroughly confused by most of the New York terminology used in the video :')
Ben Yats We know... this video is probably more relevant and will make more sense to people who live or have visited Brooklyn. But thanks for watching anyway :)
Where in Michigan? Beep 2 has been to Port Huron!
I'm in Midland so I guess what's considered mid-Michigan...I think I've been to Port Huron once when I was quite a bit younger. It's about 2 hours from my house :D
omg i was in bushwick today. do you guys know that really good taco place off jefferson L and really unreasonably expensive japanese grocery store?! let's be friends.
AE LOY Are you talking about Guacoco and Hi, Mango? Gotta love the 'Wick! We just went to Union Pizza Works for dinner - it's just a couple blocks north - soooooo good :D
i think it's called Los Hermanos or something. YESSSS. PIZZAAAA. also that truck(?) that sells vintage clothes!!! that area is getting lots of goodies for sure.
You guys are definitely not from Brooklyn.
I didn't understand much of what you said... but the video was cute.....nevertheless :))
***** It makes a whole lot more sense to people who live in Brooklyn or New York, but we're glad you watched anyway :)
Hehe... that's what I meant to say :))
Smh
you should state what the subscribers could send you. I send gift certificates to youTubers for "Subway, Target and Starbucks". could you use any or all of these? paying your rent is not an option. lol. but there are subscribers that sent amazon gift cards so the person can get what they want. Let us know, I am all for helping staving and creative youTubers such as yourselves. Thanks for sharing.
Hey William,
You are welcome to send us whatever you want! We aren't really expecting anything monetary, but I guess Amazon or Target gift cards are the most applicable for us. It is certainly expensive here, but we're by no means starving :)
Good old fashioned hand-written letters are just fine - and we may even write back!
William m Hey, were you the one responsible for sending us that Amazon gift card??
sorry, that was not me that sent you the Amazon gift card, I was saying yes to watching Man from UNCLE movie. I am sending you other gift cards, Target, Subway, and Starbucks. sorry for the confusion.
Oh, haha! Well thank you for your honesty. Either way, we appreciate you as a Beepster and for commenting on all of our videos!
