    New York has so much to offer outside of Manhattan. That's why I love being a subscriber to this channel cause you show parts of the city that don't often get a lot of attention. I've been living in NYC for 4 years now and I always go out of my way to explore the boroughs.

    We can always count on Action Kid to go through all NYC not just Manhattan. I haven’t been to Fordham Road since I was in my late 20s. My sister lives in the Bronx and goes often. Anyway thank you for the walk 👍🏾👏🏾👏🏾

    It's amazing to see that the recruiting station is still on Fordham Road and the Concourse! It was there when I was growing up in the Bronx in the 60s. Of course, back then, behind the recruiting station was one of the best places to shop in the Bronx, Alexander's department store. It's always so much fun to walk with you, Kenneth, when you're in New York and, specifically, when you return to the Bronx.

    Fordham road nowadays. Think the city gave up on the area.the better class moved away many many years ago. Now, Fordham road when my mom was Shopping there 80 yrs ago with her Mother you shopped and got out .
    And good Old Grand concourse was Grand supreme. this generation have no idea how it was like back then even myself i could look back 50yrs ago when that was the place to go to for Shopping.

    Many yrs ago Alexander's used to be the place to shop on Fordham Rd. The corner of Grand Concourse & Fordham. It's so funny to see a Target 🤔. That is a suburban store. Sears used to be on the corner of Fordham & Webster Ave now its a Best Buy. And Krispy Kreme donuts, that's southern. When I moved to NC yrs ago that's all people down here ate, now Krispy Kreme is nationwide. I still prefer Dunkin' Donuts. Wow have things changed. Thanks for sharing.

    I used to live very close to the Grand Concourse and my family used to do almost all of their shopping on Fordham Road. Used to go to Alexander's, Sears and Woolworths. Also used to go to Shipman's and the toy store that was across the street from the Loew's Paradise. Also used to go to the movies a lot there as well. All the places I used to love there went away a long time ago. It still looks mostly the same, but it changed a lot. I haven't been there in a couple of years and I don't know if I'll come there again.

    it can be debated that it's an even toss up between fordham rd and 149'st on 3'rd ave where most bronx residents would do their shopping , fordham had a lot of small independent little shops and the big pull was sears and 149'th st offered almost all the same except for many 149'st was found more affordable

    The Grand Concourse was the "Park Ave" of the Bronx with many Theaters along the Concourse and on Fordham Road. After the theater my friends and l would drive to "Jahn"s Ice Cream Parlor" for a "kitchen sink Sundae" which we would share, since they were so big. After that we would walk around and look at the shops with no fear of any harm coming to us. l am so thankful to have experience that life before this country became the hell hole it is today. l am so sorry for those who are not able to get out, but then again they are the ones who make it what it is today!!!!!

    I know exactly what’s going on. The local governments have been listening to small and large businesses, alike, complaints of employee vacancies since the pandemic. The solution is to allow the “immigrants” fill those positions. Thus you have bustling street vendor scene and construction has picked up too.
