There are two freestanding Carvel shops within a couple miles of me and both seem to do very good business.

Heh, I'd never heard the theory that he might have been knocked off!

27:44 beautiful dude recitation!!

25:09 I got clothes!!!! Thanks, NOT I've got.

21:59 you got the. Thanks for not saying "you've got" You know why you got that. I really appreciate this Doctor's, grammar. Better than most. 23:08 I actually think the New York accent is born from British. Especially the the intrusive r, and elusive r.

Intrusive R, exists in Britain as well. Do not break the LAW. Law Enforcement becomes Lore Enforcement. (Apparently, when a word ends in a vowel, or open vowel sound like Law; then is followed by another word starting with a vowel, the R is inserted... So for New Yorkers, to say idea(r) , or as Tony Danza, would say, Angela (Angeler)... Is a mystery. For some Brits, you have some example: Gorilla Warfare Or Goriller Ambush

1:49 she didn't understand what you were saying. "That's why it lasted there months!"

I am from California, I am totally enamored by the NY way of talking. Especially LawnGuyLand

Thank you I appreciate you for this I had no idea

The real New York accent sleeps with the tough guys.

Giants fane here - Mitchell was great. I was in the bleachers at Candlestick Park and he hit a walk off HR against the Mets - sunny day game - the place went nuts.

Many argue today thats not an angel at Houdini's grave, it is Wife Bess, weeping over him.

rachel van buren dies jan 2 1904 age 100 born 1803

benj prine died in oct 1900 at 99 so born 1801 or was nearing his 100th in later 1900 ?only GOD knows Amen

piet mondrian grave is the shapes and colors of a hippy bus or the logo on the partrige family bus

Yeah! Bravo, Heather! Thank you. Saxon

Now in 2023, that “weird hipster” that everyone had their panties in a knot about seems very normal 😂😂 he just sounds like a tired white guy. And what he said wasn’t that far off. I liked his replica.

I don't find the younger people have these accents at all. The NY accent is dying out.

Just an interesting tidbit. Every single character in the star wars universe who speaks with a ny accent is automatically a good guy. No double crosses, no secret sith lords, no scammers, no empire operatives, only straight up and honest characters.

Ty Heather for your work!!! ❤️ Today the unveiling of Benjamin Prine Way happened. OH HAPPY DAY!!!!!

Very interesting! A nice documentary.

That Pic of the Ferris wheel in the beginning wasn’t a pic of Staten Island !

IF YOU DON'T LIKE THE WAY I TALK.............. F*** YOU #damn

The Conference house park was built on Native burial ground. Unfortunately there is no "ACKNOWLEDGMENT" of their existence....shame. They are part of our history. We should have at least a "STATUE" in their honor.

I would love to cemetery wander around Staten Island. One day.

What’s the song that’s playing at 6:50 ?

Thanks for sharing 🌈, UM FRUM BROOKLYN 👊

This truly is a wonderful first step! I am in deep awe of the progress that's been made in this important effort by so many people--an effort spearheaded by author, documentarian, and gifted storyteller Ms. Heather Quinlan, whose love of people and their stories, tireless commitment, and sheer tenacity is enabling us all to acknowledge and honor so many forgotten souls.

I wish we could change the title, too

Love your work, Heather. I've seen "If These Knishes Could Talk" 3 times.

This is amazing!

They built right over it??? Don't buildings need to be built on pilings? How could they not have removed the buried people first? Surely they must have seen the caskets. That is one chilling and sad story. Well done! Subscribed.

Seems to be a good honor.

Thanks professor Cox.

it is blatantly obvious , some of the early grave stones in Piscataway NJ were carved by the same hand as some of those there of the same era

Thank you for your commitment and dedication. I can't wait to see the end result. :-)

I love regional accents and appreciate them all. To me a regional accent is to speech what spices are to food. An accent makes speech more interesting and gives information about the speaker. I'm from Queens, NY. I used to be able to identify the borough. When I left NYC in the 1990s I hated NYC by then, especially after Dinkins did his best to ruin it. For years I hated everything to do with NYC; seeing NY license plates, hearing a NYC accent, etc. After some years away in MA, CA and rural FL, I moved to southeast FL and hearing NYC accents again was like music. Today the NYC accent is almost extinict. Like Billy Joel's swan song about NYC, "Miami 2017", NYC is populated by people from everywhere else; rich hipsters, financial industry people, and who knows who else.

Love this! Thank you.

I was enjoying the “earlier TH-cam” vibe of the doc, thinking it was a modern picture, and was shocked to see it was made in 2013! It was an interesting documentary. Would be cool to see how things have changed, or haven’t today!

Boss. 💖💖💖💖💖.

This trailer is almost 15 years old. But even in 2008, the old NY accent was dying. It was on life support with the the idiots on the Jersey Shore show and Everybody Loves Raymond. If you notice, everyone in this clip is of an older generation. Today, the typical NY accent is Spanish. Yeah, there are a lot of Indians, West Indians, Asians, Russians, etc. But the immigrant parents keep their native accents, but their American born children grow up sounding neutral. It seems only the Latinos perpetuate an accent. And of course African Americans, who's accent is their own and has changed little in 100 years. Someone will probably have a problem with what I just said.

I love this!

solid work..bravi tutti

your work is super underrated

your documentaries are great. thanks for putting them up.

Bike lanes are not a crime.

When & where can I watch this documentary?

The parking lot cemetery is one of the most disturbing things I've seen in a while. And I live in Tennessee!
