    My mother recently passed away, and we would always watch your videos and joolz guide when it came to New York City history and London history thanks for posting this new video it brings good memories. And as someone who was born and raised in New York still there is interesting history I learned every day.

    The first time I went to NYC on my own was in 1977. I had an idea that I might stay in the Village. My aunt wanted me to meet a friend and colleague of hers in Chinatown. The day I got there was a Sunday, so it was fairly easy to get around. I stopped at a place near the Bowery. There was a Police station and a couple of cops out front. So I asked them if they could recommend a place nearby. They said "Don't stay around here." I ended up staying at the YMCA on 34th Street for $4 a night.

    My father owned two buildings on Bond Street, right next to the Bowery Lane Theater from the early 40s to the mid seventies. After he passed my mother sold them for around $350k, and by today’s value, they would be worth millions.

    • @sgtleobella
      @sgtleobella 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      The good thing is, if she invested that $350K in the 70s, it would also likely be worth millions today.

    Taggers never cease to amaze me. How the hell did they get up top the Bowery Savings Bank to hit the facade SO MUCH?! 😮 Sad but amazing at the same time. Oh i see now. Hopping roofs...

    I love the really old buildings that are still in that area they are easy to miss as you walk north from Canal Street, they some I would imagine go back the late 1800s

    Another great one, Tom! I have to rewind your videos so many times because I'm gawking at the architecture and passersby so I miss important dates. I love history so much!
    Even though it isn't directly on the Bowery, I was hoping you'd end at McSorely's having a carbol--I mean an ale.

    Back in the late 70's and early 80's I used to take the #6 IRT from GCT to Astor Place to visit friends that lived in the E. Village.
    We used to patronize "McSorley's" and also "The No-Name Bar" (it was on a corner with a large glass facade).
    Black leather attire was preferred but not required.
    There you might see members of The Clash, Blondie, The Ramones and The Rolling Stones (!)
    It may have been 316 Bowery where the mural is today. I know there used to be a bar there.

    At Chatham Square, the 3rd Avenue EL operated in Manhattan until 1955, the last surviving EL in the city. The 2nd, 6th, and 9th lines were all gone by 1938-1942.

    I'm pretty sure an emotional goodbye was going on between 2 people in the background when you were talking about the fire fighters between the 18 and into the 19 minute mark. At the end of it the girl had walked away and the guy is standing there watching her go, looking like he knows he'll never see her again. She's moved on. She met someone else online, now she's moving to Utah to be with him. Even though they've never met face to face, she knows he's the one, like many people seem to believe before they uproot their lives and move far away just to find out they couldn't be more wrong about that. She'll then contact the guy she left, admit she made a big mistake, and ask to come back to him. But he is unsure. He loved her, and she left him. He knows she must have had sexual relations with the guy at least a few times in the 3 months it's been since she left. Does he really want her back after that? Will she end up just leaving again out of the blue? She must not really love him if she was talking to other guys online while they were together. But he has had quite the dry spell since she left. He'll take her back, making her promise she won't do that again. She says she won't. But we all know better.
