    I grew up in Inwood (74-92). I'll bore you with what everything used to be. Inwood used to be VERY Irish and just about every corner store used to be a bar. Anyone else remember these places?
    Starbucks was a liquor store. Down Dyckman was a Chinese restaurant, Greek diner and deli.
    Broadyke Building above was where many of my friends lived. HM was my bestie. Great building to hang out in front of. RS lived right above the dental place.
    Bank of America was a Greek diner.
    McDonald's was the Alpine Movie Theater. Not long after the McDonald's opened a kid was shot and killed inside.
    The 24 hour Mofongo place on the other side of Dyckman used to be a Carvel.
    My mom grew up on Academy St. between Sherman and Post.
    Fun fact - other side of Academy used to be a pharmacy called Great Lakes - owned by Riki Lake's father and uncle. W/in the pharmacy was also a bowling alley (pharmacy was on one side, alley on the other).
    Some years ago Academy St. from Broadway to Seaman was shut down to cars and had 24/7 police protection because of the little drug and violence problem. Guess the city missed the other side of Academy St. which was worse.
    Laundromat on Academy St. used to be a bar - the Hedgehog Inn.
    That empty lot on Boadway used to be a baby furniture store. Next door was a Korean vegetable/fruit store and next to that was a photography store - had my Communion and Confirmation pictures taken there.
    Southeast corner of 204th was Keenan's Bar. Next door was the Colonial Funeral Home - my grandmother was waked there.
    Love the Dyckman House.
    PJs Liquor store used to be a carpet store.
    Rite Aid was a small Pathmark.
    CTown was an A&P.
    Inwood Pharmacy used to be Penguin's stationary. That man sold everything....including fireworks.
    Cannot believe the Capitol Diner is still there. Wonder if the same Russian waitress is still there....nah, she has to be dead by now. She had a beehive (that's a hairstyle for all the youngins....lol).
    TMobile was the Alpine Bakery.
    Jackson Hewitt was a Fanny Farmer candy store (the best!).
    TD Bank was M-T Burger.
    Doo Wop Deli used to be around the corner on 207th.
    Down 207th was the Tara Irish Gift Shop.
    Pizza Haven is still there. Always hot as hell in the summer.
    Tubby Hook used to be The Piper's Kilt. Before that it was McSherry's.
    Used to wait for the 12 bus to go to high school. Hundreds of Catholic high school kids waiting for different buses there every morning. It was crazy.
    Ciibank used to be closer to 207th St.
    I think the pharmacy was either Connor Funeral Home or the Golden Rule Diner.
    I think Yummy Thai was the Lorraine Bakery. The best jelly donuts and black and white cookies.
    Good Shepherd Church. Where my mother, aunt, me and my sister were christened and made our First Communion and Confirmation. Where my parents (and all of their friends) were married in 1972.
    That pointy building on Isham on the other side of Broadway is the hell hole I grew up in.
    The store for rent on Isham used to be the Isham Pharmacy.
    The newspaper store next to Grandpa's Pizza was owned by an Israeli guy named Izzy.
    Those other stores were Danielle's, a Greek bakery (best bread!), Inwood's first video rental store (pre Blockbuster) and Rosario's Hair Salon.
    Bars on the other side of Broadway were Green Acres, Doneymay/Irish Eyes. I'm shocked that the Liffy II is still there.
    The storage facility used to be the telephone company (think NY Telephone but the name changed so many times). Back in the 60s there was an explosion - think a gas explosion - that killed a few people. NOTHING is ever mentioned about that.
    The 215th St. City Steps. RIP JK.
    There was a VFW hall next to or close to the City Steps.
    There was Carrot Top Bakery (still one down near 165th St.).
    Cecilia's clothing - she sold what I believable to be stolen clothing - mostly Gap, Banana Republic, etc. It was 1/2 off the tag price.

    On 207th and Broadway there was a famous store called Tara's Gift Shop. The store sold merch direct from Ireland. Inwood was predominantly Irish and the Church of Good Shepherd had a large congregation. Back in the day most of the bars and restaurants were Irish also. There are a few families still residing in Inwood.

      @@redcomic619 Let me tell you.... co-ops on Park Terrace. When they started going co-op in the 80s people were like who the fuck wants to live here. I mean PT was fine but the neighborhood had just gone to total shit. Those apartments were being sold for barely $20k.
      My parents didn't keep that apartment because something happened to me and my sister inside the apartment. They just wanted to get the hell out, which they should have done years before.
      Now when my parents married in 1972 they looked at the few houses on PT. One was being sold for something like $50k which my mother said was expensive.
      My husband is from the Heights. His father bought a house in the 180s, east of Broadway. My BIL bought one next to the parents for about $170k (this was maybe 15 or so years ago). He sold it a few years ago for over $1mm.

    Hi. I moved here 15 years ago, about two months before the bar on the SE corner of 204th shut down. I wanted to give a few updates.
    Capital Diner did a complete renovation. All spanish workers but the food is great. Was looking super old pics of Inwood yesterday and saw the Capital has been there forever! Since Piper's went away, Capital has best diner food in Inwood.
    Rite Aid is gone. Mike, the owner of C-Town rents that space now. It's their produce section.
    Doo Wop Deli is gone, but Rapheal, owner of Cooper street deli (and a few other businesses)rents that space now.
    Academy still has drug problems, weed is huge now with it being legal, and there was a homicide recently.
    John, the Do Wop owner, went to high school with my wife's aunt. Weird coincidence.
    The Moonies are still hanging around, and Doc Caulfield is still kicking, if you knew them.
    The O'Donnells are still here, again, if you knew them.
    Inwood has been a great place to raise a family.

      Gentrification is a societal issue. It comes from a failure in public policy, and one set up to allow market prices to increase without regard for the people who may be excluded. It is not the individual, middle-class people doing something wrong.

      Oh here we go with the gentrifying nonsense. My grandparents, Irish immigrants, lived in Inwood after they married in 1940. This noise and crime and filth problem was never an issue in Inwood until Dominicans started to moved in - late 60s/early 70s. And because of that the Irish moved the hell out.
      I'm sick of those who live there now complaining about the White gentrifiers moving in. You don't OWN the neighborhood. How about turning down the fucking music. Not using the sidewalk as a garbage can. Not selling drugs. Not killing each other. The Irish never had that problem in Inwood.
      Dommies have lived in the areas for a good 50 years and it's still the same nonsense. Not quite as bad as when I lived there from 74-92 but for God's sake get your shit together and learn how to live like God damn humans and not a bunch of low life savages.
