Born, raised and still here in the Bronx. Lots of memories!!! Thanks!
Thanks for watching
0:56 that white castle is still there on Fordham rd
You are correct. I thought they put a TD Bank there but that is down the block. The one one the Bruckner was rebuilt also.
Yes and So is the Tremont Diner 😊
The first night of my life in 1951 I slept in my grandparent's apartment on Fox Street. Can't believe you show a picture of that street sign.
No matter where u go on the face of this earth, when you hear
the BRONX u know there’s a feeling of tough love in the air!! I love the BX!!!
@2 WheelsForever Not a shit hole anymore. The most progressive borough in the city right now!
There's a feeling of a shithole too.
hugolafhugolaf
That shithole is the birth of a whole GENERATION, so stop tryna put that place down, especially if u won’t go there & say it to someone’s face. 😆
And everywhere u go on earth have good & bad areas.
I've been to every borough except for Staten Island.
Gee money A lot of salty people in these comments because their parents moved them away from the Bronx before they could be a part of the greatness. Crazy how these people are 40-60 years old with spiteful, jealousy-filled hearts. The Bronx wasn’t made for everybody but everybody had a choice to make the best of it.
I remember playing in those lots full of rubble when I was a kid. The garbage everywhere. Back then you needed to be smart or you ended up on a milk carton.
I remember packs of stray dogs always around
You know what I always wondered is what in the heck are those old 8 or 10 story buildings like what were they?? old factories???
Yeah, I definitely remember the Bronx back in the days,60s,70s,80s to present. I could imagine
the people that never lived in that era would call it a dump and yes, it was a dump but I lived it and as a kid I enjoyed it and truly so, I mean I grew up in the Bronx and I'm still here and love it and always will! thanks for sharing.
@Omar J store owners and landlords burned down their own buildings to collect the insurance money but mainstream media will have you believe the people tore it up
You're right. ..its a dump
@Omar J Crime was out of control and people just packed up and left. Blocks were left with abanded businesses and apartments.
Would of been nice if each photo was tagged with the actual location.
With the year

White Castle was located on the corner of Fordham Rd. And lorillard place that is p.s. 45 behind it and the lower windows were the machine shop class Mr Charlie Dill was the teacher I attended from 1950 to 1953 .
and that white castle is still there
Yep
@Vincent Mileto Every once in a while in the Sunday daily news White Castle would offer a coupon and with it you could get 10 yes 10 White Castle hamburgers for a quarter .They were much smaller in size than now.
right next to ps 254 and Roosevelt
John Garfield learned his acting skills at ps45 and in the 30's he went back to visit the school and his drama teacher. My dad was about 12 and was chosen to escort him around the school. He later received a letter from Garfield. I often went to that White Castles and the burgers were 12 cents. Across the street was a Ford dealership, the next block going toward Webster had an Army and Navy store, a veterinarian, across from there you could see some of the Fordham U campus, then you hit the el. Across from there was the Sears and Roebuck AND the most interesting places in the 50's and 60's were 2 motorcycle stores. One was the now sought after BSA and next to it a Triumph dealership. There was also a pet shop, a hot dog stand and then the bus terminal which were just outside aisles where buses lined up and drivers switched.
I had an interesting life growing up there ( Arthur ave)
The Boogie Down Bronx...My hometown .....Grew up here in the 70s 80s and 90s...Always special times for me....No place like it!
There's so much history in our beautiful borough. People just have to choose to educate themselves the information is all there. One just has to seek it the Bronx is a beautiful place that I and we call home.
They should have kept as many of the old tenements up as possible.They are beautifully built.Like the old redbrick Victorian terraced houses in parts of Manchester UK are.
Thanks for bringing me back home... The White Castle in front of my school ‘Thomas C. Giordanno’ definitely brought back a lot of memories... so did the ‘Dollar Savings Bank’ at Grand Concourse.
It's cool looking back on history.

@@estherwhite3119 😁👍
Born & raised there too. Moved quite a bit throughout Throggs Neck, Silver Beach, Castle Hill projects...lol. Moved away after 30 years of great memories😊
Hey baby! 😍😘
Jose Hernandez Jose! You tawkin ta me?
A nice trip down memory lane, I lived in the Bronx from 1956-1994 and worked there up until 2011 near the Old Lincoln Hospital on Southern Blvd. I seen it all, from the days of Doo-Wops to the emerging of Hip-Hop. They left out 'Freedomland' that was where Co-op city stands today. If the rents had not gotten so crazy, I might have still lived there. Tracy Towers, near my alma mater DeWitt Clinton HS, called me but by that time I was already settled in on the Palisades in Northern NJ.
I lived from 8 to 30 on university Avenue and had Tracy towers as a view in the distance. Even went to
That high school for one summer.
"Freedomland" lived short, some like four years. Living in the Bronx we had many other alternatives while they were still around. We used to visit "Adventurer's Inn" in Flushing, "Palisades Park" in NJ and "Rye Playland" in Rye, NY. "Coney Island" was another spot we visited although not so often.
I also went to Clinton h.s 92 to 94 cause I got thrown out of James Monroe h.s , long trip cause I’m from 174th vyse avenue by southern boulevard
How beautiful true Bronx is in its bones at the turn of the 20th Century. As solid a foundation in its architecture, much of which still exists, as are the people who have lived a lifetime there and continue to live there. All the people.
I LOVE MY BOOGIE DOWN HOME💕....I wouldn't change a thing. Made me the amazing woman I AM today🏆💕
We've come a LONG way!
Indeed! Home of the bravest!
That house at 0:30 reminds me of the house in the movie titled _Batteries Not Included._
it might be in that movie..i was also thinking of the movie beat street...lol
me too thats what i thought when i 1st saw it
I was 8 years old when my mother
Moved to the bronx in1966 i when to ps66 school in Longfellow ave i think it was Longfellow ave..we
Use to live in 1071 home st a block away from Westchester Ave. A few years later we moved to 1084 the building in front..1084 still standing but 1071 is been gone for years. I got married in the bronx. My 3 kids were born in the bronx...im in Mississippi right now is a long story..but I have family still living in the bronx.
Sisters brothers nephew niece's
Ext.ext. is been 32 long years that I don't visit the bronx..I want to go

You will be running back to old miss in 2 days lol. All the parks you named are ok for a visit but stay out of st Mary unless you are looking to buy drugs. In general crime has blown up all around the city and the bronx even more.
@@ProjectsandReviewsZone crime in the Bronx was worst 36 years ago
Amazing! Some few landmarks are still present and recognizable and sometimes addresses are visible. Besides the obvious Kings Bridge (3:24), Yankee Stadium(0:11 & 3:16) and the Bronx civil court (6:18), Dollar savings bank still today at 2526 Grand concourse (3:43); East 149th & 3rd Avenue ( 5:44) the subway apparently went underground; Westchester & Trinity Avenue (1:04); 582 morris Avenue (3:01);Somewhere on Tinton Avenue maybe 386 (6:21 ). Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much for this detailed comment. I will pin this to the top so others can see!
That's the Armory on kingsbridge ave. and Jerome at 3:24.
Yankee Stadium still exists, but in a different form
Love all these photos. Thank you
Appears to be E Kingsbridge rd. and Jerome ave. at (4:12) modern day Morton williams.
At 0:05 is 315 E kingsbridge rd near Fordham rd between the years 1920 and 1950.
At 0:41 Fox st. and Intervale ave.
At 2:09 Gerrard Ave. and 161 st.
At 4:00 Westchester Ave. and Prospect Ave.
At 4:20 Bruckner Blvd. near Lafayette Ave.
I recognize the The Armory on Kingsbridge, Grand Concourse &
Fordham , South Bx by the Mitchell Houses , and the construction of the Cross Bronx Expressway .
I went to the school next to the armory as a kid.
HecksVision I’m a Harlemnite , but I attended Lehman College and lived in the BX for a few years.
The tenement buildings look similar to what many British cities looked like.
i’m from kingsbridge in the bronx born and raised and very proud of where i came from!!! it fuels me more knowing we was born to lose!! 💯🔝🙏🏻💪🏻🥶🙌🇵🇷
That is where I grew up also at the end of University ave Lehman college area.
Remarkable. Great film.
Da Bronx Home st. Fox st. Hoe ave, Simpson st. Southern Blvd. Elder av, Grand concourse, Pelham Parkway, Knox Place, Ryer ave, Gunhill rd, River ave, Findlay ave, all the places I lived in the Da Bronx👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 fun fun fun
That is a ton of moves lol
HecksVision Grew up the BX with my Dad who moved a lot, haha, and my grandma. Had a few ex wives , girlfriends, fiancé. 😂😂😂😂
I went to that school behind White Castle!
That’s PS 45 right off Fordham Rd. Both are still there today.
I went to night summer school at Theodore Roosevelt High School for one summer. It was sad with the wooden desk still in use.
That's where I was born..The Bronx
Morris Park to be exact..
It's amazing to think that we're walking around in so much history. Thanks for sharing!
Yes indeed and what memories were those
Great job on this video.
Thanks!
I am a proud Bronxite!
Thanks for watching
Hey does it occur to who is responsible for these wonderful thoughtful pictures to put the date and location please
My old neighborhood Kingsbridge at 3:25
I used to live on the end of University Ave
~ 3:38 is grand concourse & fordhan rd .... ~ 2:52 is at the bottom of 3rd Ave ...
Nice to see and hear normal people 👍
Thanks for watching
You can see Old World Tartaria all over The Bronx, parts of The Bronx looks like scenes out of WWII Europe. So, Historians; tell us the truth about The Bronx and America!
Love the music!
Very nice and interesting. And some very beautiful Old London style Row Houses at 6:20. Now is anyone familiar with FDNY Engine 82 and Truck 31? I believe the Engine House is on Intervale Avenue. Thank you for this great video. Good luck and God Bless.
The firehouse is still there by Home street.
Patterson houses was stomping ground Born in Lincoln hospital miss the good ol days.
Wow Amazing ...and to see the xbronx. And bruckner in its construction phases wow
Yes it's pretty cool
@@ProjectsandReviewsZone ..when I was younger our apt over looked the xbronx. The elder family members use to tell me they remembered when there was no xbx. ..as a kidz I found this phenomenon ..I used to think how could there not be a road there 😁
I definitely remember the bronx between 80s and even early 90s a lot of burn old building and many desolated areas. The Bronx its not the same anymore, more vibrant now.
Great
Oh ( YES ) I remember these days really good my god ! !
That Earl movie theatre I believe is a sports bar now
Wow ...185 and Park Ave..4294 wow bro
thanks for watching
Amo história parabéns
Please tell me the name of the 2nd piece of piano music used in this film. Thanks!

IF YOU NOTICED...THERE WAS AS MANY CARS ON THE ROAD AS TODAY.....NOW EVERYONE HAS A CAR.......
They still building new buildings and taking away more parking. Its a mess
At 1:55 construction for the Cross Bronx Expressway. At 2:17 old diner by the Unionport Rd. train tracks overpass bridge. I f not mistaken the diner was still there in the 60's.
Hunts point bronx!! There will never be another place like it!! 80s 90s
I remember the drag car days at the point.
Would have loved some info on each picture, name of buildings/dates etc
BX Baby.Had the amazing opportunity to live on 169 Gerard ave and E 214 street white plains road area.I must add that technology has changed a lot of things.Some kids will never know what real adventure is like.
These kids don't even want to go outside lol. It's sad.

Savage Skulls
Mostly Mediocre shots but better than nothing! Thx!!
This was great! I Love seeing all the pictures and only wish that the locations were tagged. The buses gave me major flashbacks! I took the 12 every day of high school. I grew up in Inwood but had relatives in the Bronx and went to HS in the early 70’s in Pelham Parkway. My mother grew up in the south Bronx and sometimes we drive by but she was always afraid to stop there in the 70’s as the neighborhood has gotten so burned out and she didn’t want to get depressed. My grandfather had an appetizing store on 174th and Southern Boulevard I think but that was well before I was born, in the 30’s and 40s.
The 70's was a wild time but it is also wild today for different reasons.
Da Bronx Rocks 🎶
Thanks for checking out the channel
3:28 I think this building is still up
3:38 This one too
Why did they play Scott Joplin's The Entertainer.
It was probably inspired by this.

A real slow drag - scott joplin
Wow I almost could not believe I was born in the Bronx my parents lived on Fox.street ,,to see these pictures of a place that doesn’t even exist. Very touching. Lots of really chid hood memories. Buying fruit at the fruit market Right under the train west Chester and southern bulivad
Yea my mom lived on vyse she was like you cannot imagine what it looked like
Sheridan expressway at 2:34??
Looks more like the cross Bronx
HecksVision I think so too
It is the cross bronx
Cross Bronx Rosedale exit on left
Name of second song please... thank you.
From a native Bronxite. The White Castle photo is from NYC property tax record documentation in the 1940s. Remarkably, it is still there but remodeled. I guess the students from Theodore Roosevelt H.S. ( 1 block east) kept it going. Went by it on the #20 bus on my way to school from 1960-1963. The photo is on nycma.lunaimaging.com/luna/servlet.
The Bx20 bus was originally a long trolley car route from West Farms Square to the northern reaches of Broadway near the city line in Riverdale. It was converted to bus operation in the late 1940s. It is now the Bx9. I remember that it ran on East 180th St. and turned north on Southern Blvd. to get to Fordham Rd. and continue west to Kingsbridge Rd. on its way to Riverdale. I remember taking it with my mother in the late 1950s to visit a Yeshiva in Riverdale as we did not have a car. The rabbi was hitting an unruly child while we were there so we just turned around and went back home. Amazingly corporal punishment is still permitted in private schools in New York by state law. However any educator who practices it would likely face criminal child abuse charges filed by the child's parents and a substantial civil lawsuit. We also used that bus to reach our doctor's office on Sedgwick Ave.
@@1575murray I lived on E. 180th St. and Honeywell Ave. when the street still had cobblestone paving and trolley tracks in in the 1950s. Left that neighborhood in 1967.
Remodeled? That's a nice way of saying torn down and rebuilt in the middle of the parking lot. Three times. It's been moved about 75' east.

So glad I moved out. It's soul crushing to live there. Just hell on earth. I moved north to the Catskills. A small farming village. No freebies up here and lots of snow keeps away the ghetto types. Best move I ever made.
Do you consider yourself a ghetto type since you came from the ghetto.
@@chesterjade7630 probably not, nor should he. You might assume that your question exposes his character but it actually exposes your own. There's nothing wrong with good people choosing to move away from areas largely inhabited by bad people. People tend to rise or sink to their own respective levels. Hence your ability to relate to such types that others would move away from.
I'm glad you got out of there. Live long and prosper Sir.
Did you come across the fishbowl buses and flixible new look buses too??
Anyone know where Sloan Kettering hospital was?
Back in the 1800s Morris Park was a horse racing track.
@1889-1904. John A. Morris died in 1895 with a lot of debt because of a crooked lottery scheme in Louisiana. See the wiki.
Of the five boroughs, the Bronx is the best geographically as you are part of the mainland US.
Yeah I always wondered what was in those buildings before they look like they were totally gutted???
The Bronx was really nice back in the day. The Grand Concourse was the park avenue of the Bronx.
@@ProjectsandReviewsZone but how did it end up looking the way? why did the fires happen... am I missing something how did those buildings end up in the bombed out looking--😲 shape that they are in back then

Love home, love the BX but not whats happening to it 💔😔🗽🇵🇷
you don't need locations if you grew up in the 70's and 80's much of the city had not changed much with the exception of watching it burn and then playing in the empty buildings and streets
It's great but i wish you put year and location as caption to all photo
Somehow, watching this has killed any nostalgia I once had of living there. Yep, prefer my own cool childhood memories of the Arthur Ave area to some of these sometimes-horrific images. Now a cool 69 livin' in SWFL, building ECOhomes & sailing catamarans! A tip to those there...the USA is a BIG place with far-better surroundings to thrive in. Find the courage & resources to find those better places &...never look back! SEMPRE AVANTI

Sure

My mom lived on Fox street
I truly believe the only place I miss about The Bronx is City Island love going there especially in the summer months traffic was not that bad around early 70s And also miss singing acapella with some outstanding vocalists in my neighborhood.
City Island is still nice to go when it's not prime time.
Literally from 8 to 80 on those pics haha
I thought white castle was only in cali. I guess I thought wrong lol. 0:55
I was born and raised in SoCal and now retired - yes, retired - at 64 and in The Bronx. We never had White Castles in California - I go back once a year and I still have never seen one....just those damn McDonald's - haha!
I wish each pic had a year and street name..
I have other videos with streets and names

I remember the Bronx from the 80’s through today. In the 90’s I used to get off the 5 train at Freeman street and walk up toward Jennings and Boston Road. Burned out buildings and decayed lots littered with crack vials and the occasional dead pit bull. If you got their early enough you could here fucking Roosters crowing. Times have changed and they started building up that area again. Was in the Bronx today to stop by and help my ex put something together and she lives on Findlay Ave and 169th. Place is an absolute shit show. On the way back drove down the concourse and once you past the Courts tons of people BBQing on the street, zero social distancing and no masks. I live back in Manhattan now and despite all this I do miss the Bronx.
I have not been down the concourse in a few years. It was always a shit show with the people walking across the street like they want to get hit.
HecksVision Yup they just walk across. They rebuilt the islands. They are trying to gentrify and renovate those huge pre war apartments.
i see nothing has changed
Then you are blind
who is that on the piano...Fabulous
Got it from youtube audio library and sometimes they don't give the name.
First song, "The Entertainer." The second one, I don't know
US has so much history, Europe jealous
Europe got plenty of history!!
HecksVision but US get all the attention now, or have been for 100 years
The landlords burned down the buildings for the insurance money. They wanted to get out of there cause only poor people who often didn't pay the rent were moving there. Nobody was going to buy the property from them so burning it for insurance was the only way out.
badda bing badda boom
No one is wearing skinny Jean's
None at all!!
If you visit NYC & didn’t come to the Bronx, then u haven’t been to NY.

I found it funny that the picture of the White Castle also had a sign for Ex Lax in the window next door. Anyone who has eaten White Castle knows the irony!
So true. Never eat it before a road trip that is for sure lol
I ate White Castle recently and I think they changed something, it doesn't have that effect on me like it did when I was younger.
Love white castle, those delicious hamburgers
