709 FDR. Facing the east river park. I lived on the courts next to my building when it was always popping. Ppl called me baby jordan. Used to have at least 100 ppl there at all times back then. 80s and 90s Missed those days man, but glad to make it out. Shout out to my fellow ave deep ppl.
I am from Avenue D on the lower Eastside I went to 188🌈🌈❤️ this is the right song to celebrate the lower Eastside because we were very happy down here every nationality that was there we were like one 🌈❤️🌈❤️🦾👩🏿🦱🧑🦱👨🏼🦱👱♀️👨🦳👵🏽🧑🏽🦳🧔👩🦳👨🦲👱🏿
First we lived at 1142 FDR drive APT 9G then in 1972 we moved to 152 Avenue D, APT 6a, right across the street from the 10th Street pool. This video brought back so many memories. When I saw the old piragua man, tears came as I remembered him and his car on 9th street Ave D! The amphitheater, the giant igloo on 8th street, the BBR! We moved upstate in 1980. Thank you so much for uploading!!!
Wow this is amazing brings back a lot of great & happy memories when we felt quite free, they showed Pitt pool, 10th st pool, the igloos, the amphitheater, the slums Jacob Breeze Projects etc.....
Me too, It was the Cuchifrito restaurant that did it for me... When I was a little kid and my Mom took my little sister and me for the first time to that park behind 132 Avenue D with the sand and the Pyramids I felt like I was in an Amusement Park!!! So Many Good Memories And I Miss Those Days!!!
Enjoying these photos, seems this is mostly upper LES, Union Square and pre-NYU 14th Street. Sorry but the music seems inappropriate to me. Maybe Ten Wheel Drive "14th Street," some Ramones or some pre-crazy Willie Colon. But thanks for posting, nice trip down memory lane.
The image at 2:40 is the old exit and entrance to the, Williamsburg Bridge, on the Manhattan side at Delancey street. I grew up on the LES during the 70's. I'd cross that bridge with friends often. I'm 57 now and I still walk over it. The huge building on the right, the bottom store-front was a movie theater. That's where I'd go see the karate movies of the 70's. I lived at 123 Ludlow Street. Those were the days playing: stick ball, kick-the-box, Skelly, off-the-wall, etc. I also had aunts that lived on the block where the, New-yorican-poets-cafe still stands. I used to jog as a kid on the East River Track when back then it was a dirt track.
Damn I miss my old neighborhood. I was from E6 street Ave D Riis Houses from the 70's. the moment I especially saw that old yellow bike sign, or the Smoke stacks, I would always know, I was close to being home again lol
remember my brother that yellow bike sign used to be on 13th &14>Street AVE B.I know I lived around the corner on 13th Street where the red bar used to be. my uncle owned bar!!and when I looked down the block the smokestacks were down the block I knew I was home!!!the old tenement buildings are not there no more but now they call it Campos plaza. my family still lives there thank God!!🙏🙏🗽🗽
Sadly things change as the years go by. I lived on the LES in the 70s-90s. Sadly drugs mainly crack devastated the neighborhood. But I'm happy to say the LES is very multicultural now.
OMG! Thanks so much for uploading this! What year was this? I lived in 20 Avenue D when I was a kid but moved out in 1982. I miss it so much. This video really hits home for me. I even wrote a book growing up during the gritty 1980s on the lower east side and my family's transition to Oregon. I remember always fighting in and out of school and when I came to Oregon, it was like a culture shock for me. All the kids I became friends with wore different clothes, spoke differently and they were actually happy in the school they went to. I remember getting into my last big fight with Papo and Polo when my twin brother stepped in a way of a knife to save my life. That's when we uprooted to Oregon. The rec center here is where my pops use to sit on the bench and watch us play baseball. He couldn't play 'cause he was obese but it was cool just being able to hit a few out the fence to impress him. Please upload more!
I went to PS20 because PS137 didn't have ESL which stands for English Language Learners but I use to lived in 286 South St APT 19D The most beautiful memories I have of my childhood and early teenage years came in NYC WE THEN moved to 571 Baruch Projects I went to Marta Valle 25 Also I remember learning English I remember playing with snow for the first time Man NYC is the greatest city in the world
“Daddy don't live in that New York City No more He don't celebrate Sunday on a Saturday night No more Daddy don't need no lock and key For the piece he stowed Out on Avenue D”
I know all these places very, very well, it's the best and the worst of everything. By 1970 it became a very, very hostile place to people like me and that's sad.
Shit used to be super ghetto but it was lively and fun at the same time. Now it’s a copy of the rest of Manhattan, million dollar condos and hipsters everywhere

@@user-rg4yk4jr1y: I was born in '77 and the very first time I passed Delancey and Clinton was when I was a very young teenager. I just don't remember any entrance there, although, I should because I grew up on the LES, just, you know, the Chinatown side of Smith Projects. *lol* Thank you so much for telling me. I do remember most of the very old Delancey Street and its area.
Great pics Bishop. Lot of good memories, my era was the early and mid 70's . Many nights hangin out live shows in the amp. Everybody came to Riis houses to check out the shows, boxing, and just chill. Thanks for posting!
Correct - that was Clinton st right off of delancey. We used to go there back in the late 80s throughout the 90s. The alcapurria and relleno de papa were my go to.

I was in the LES 1985-1997.

No more culture
No more grit.
It’s now filled with Soulless hipsters

You got any photos of Earls on Ludlow?
My hometown, memorys
They have True tenements in NYC. Some are slums, of course, but others have been gut-rehabbed, and charge a LOT of rent.
The lowest DeLancey street movie wow👀👀

Does anyone know if Pete's- A- Place..ever opened up again? They were nice people.
I dunno but I loved their pizza when I was a kid.
