that made my day low key brought a tear to my eye i was born in kings county i went to ps 135, 397, 92, is 61 and e-hall all i know is Brooklyn just that glimpse of Kenmore theater with the 3 dollar movies every sunday on easter the whoel flatbush would be at kenmore or kingz plaza and hearing the music i know its coming from right in front of the church its either the church people selling their tapes or that skinny guy with the van that use to sell mixtapes on tdk tapes. if you have any footage of flatbush ave from the 90s please post i appreciate this though it made my day
I went to I .S 61 too I could of went to EHall but ended up going to Westinghouse H.S I was around back in 95-96 being from Flatbush Ocean and Parkside aka the Dark side it definitely was live back then💯💯💯
Came across this vid on tiktok and ironically I shot a music video here recently. It kind of goes to show, EastFlatbush hasn’t changed much in 30 years. This is some good footage.
Yo son, take me back to the 90's. You can have this wicked stupid era. I would give anything to go back in time, I hate this modern time. Just look at our young men, speaking well, introducing you to Brooklyn & NYC. God this new modern world is straight pathetic.
@@EddyVal-l1nthe kids nowadays wouldn’t have survived this era if we placed them in this time frame gen z would be doing laundry in prison for people 😂
flatbush did a decent job of holding off gentrification based on this video a lot of stuff is still similar. I would love to see a video of bedstuy, crown heights, brownsville around this time
Church in Utica avenues are my own stomping grounds. I grew up in East New York and East Flatbush on 91st Street and Kings highway. Some of the best years of my life were spent in East Flatbush
3:42 Linden and Utica. I used to live a block away from there in the 50s right on Linden back in the early 1990s. KFC right on the corner and McDonald's down by Clarkson. I used to frequent them all the time. Now I think Popeyes replaced KFC and McDonald's is still in the same place. I also went to Winthrop junior high school in that neighborhood. I used to walk all the time from Linden and Utica all the way to Eastern Parkway to Utica train station instead of taking the bus to there. Till this day, my legs are strong and equipped for long strides. I am a stamina daddy!
@@MonetaryGain SAY WORD!!! Me Too!!! Grew up on 53rd and Clarkson. Used to have to with catch the B46 to Eastern Pkwy to catch the 4 train. To this day My legs are tree trunks because most times I use just walk up the mile uphill instead waiting for bus. AND then on the way home when me and boy used to get off the train we used to race the either B46 of B17 bus home. He would take one side of Utica and I would take the other side and we used to race to the corner of 53rd and Remsen. Most of the time we used to beat the bus too. Good times -this is when I was in elementary and middle schools in the late 70s and early 80s.
Great vid. All the fruit markets and liquor stores are still around. Most of the buildings are too, just different businesses in them. That Utica and Church corner is still a hotspot. The kids at the end definitely takes me back, that was my childhood, I hung out all around and that was so Brooklyn!
A lot more physical activities in the streets, a lot less staying in the house because the internet wasn’t out yet and we didn’t have realistic video games or cellphones. So everybody came outside & the neighborhoods were always full of people….in this generation we got rappers on social media telling ops to pull up but when they do & go live it’s a ghost town & nobody’s outside…..not the case back in the day….rappers didn’t go on social media & telling everybody to come outside to be on a video shoot because the streets were already flooded with people ESPECIALLY in the housing projects & low income neighborhoods.
Cell phones was around. Mom Dukes has one since 93 because she worked in hospital and was on call. And in the streets you could get one in some sort of shady way. But it had to be discarded after a few weeks/months. I got my first cell phone in 97 from OmniPoint, which became VoiceStream, which became TMobile by 2007
One chinese spot says Open 7 days a week. Come to think of it, pretty much no chinese spots in the hood closed on any days. Money was rollin' in for them wings and fries, extra hot sauce and ketchup. Ketchup and bbq if you were up on that at all. 😋
i thought the same thing...more than likely i was at kenmore watching a 3 dollar movie 😂😂 3 dollar ill be in there all day watching all the movies they have the best nachos til this day.
The streets and buildings look the same, but different hoods. This is Busta Rhymes' old hood, he just came back and visited his old school PS 135 about a month ago. Special Ed and a few others would recognize these spots too. But if this was really 1995 then they were all already stars by time this video was shot.
Church Ave ! NOT Church st. Those were the times for real, Heavy Caribbean pressence you deadass don't need to go the Caribbean they brought it here for you in BK ! LOL.... (Big up the East Flatbush, Flatbush, Crown Heights mon dem ) 🌴
@@VideoStockArchives Flatlands and Canarsie heavy Caribbean too! ENY, Brownsville and Bed-Stuy you can find some pockets where there is Caribbeans too !
Around the time New Jersey drive came out that was a wild era biggie ready to die Tupac me against the world Nas mop smiff b wessun Keith Murray redman rekwon purple tape that was the year everybody was riding to all that shit lol 1995
Things was so beautiful in the 90s💯
What a shame we could never get these times back. So Legendary! Ain’t nothing like Brooklyn man I tell you 😓 Thankful for this video 🙌🏽
Coming across that random fight in front of the store was iconic lol
Well said
that made my day low key brought a tear to my eye
i was born in kings county i went to ps 135, 397, 92, is 61 and e-hall
all i know is Brooklyn just that glimpse of Kenmore theater with the 3 dollar movies every sunday
on easter the whoel flatbush would be at kenmore or kingz plaza
and hearing the music
i know its coming from right in front of the church
its either the church people selling their tapes
or that skinny guy with the van that use to sell mixtapes on tdk tapes.
if you have any footage of flatbush ave from the 90s please post
i appreciate this though it made my day
Kids at the end reminded me of me and my squad 😢. St Johns n Nostrand . Don't speak to any of em anymore.

Well. There’s something new every day. Brooklyn, New York in the 1990s. How nice! 👍🏿
My neighborhood. I recognize all the streets there. A lot of those businesses surprisingly are still here
bredren... my people on 55th and church.... you probably know of some--- surely.
@@illridge probably…love bro
@@illridge I live in 55th and Church Ave, that was in 2018 though before I lived in 45th and Ave D
Damn. This brings back so many memories. I miss these days so much
This is the real New York idk wats going on now
Outside influences ♿️ 🩸 🔱 🤴🏽
Its called improvement. Things cant stay the same forever. You should be glad to see some sort of change and elevation.
@@cvllvc some things progressed, other regressed. Going back to gangs is a form of regression. Try not to be overly intelligent
The real flatbush*
@@zoomanx9661 and you seem to be solely focused on the regression. Thank you for clarifying that even though i didn’t ask.

Big up the county of Kings! This is the Brooklyn I grew up in. ❤
Same! Everything looks so familiar, despite just how much has happened since.

Different Brooklyn

VERY!! Dangerous bk... Last 20 years NYC is laughable compared to this ...

The Brooklyn that was taking it

ocean hill, new lots, east new york, prospect heights, etc. as well.
Na Flatbush still ain’t the same ….
@@TrapBushMontana of course not but compared to neighborhoods like Williamsburg, bushwick and fort green its way better off
Church in Utica avenues are my own stomping grounds. I grew up in East New York and East Flatbush on 91st Street and Kings highway. Some of the best years of my life were spent in East Flatbush
I definitely remember coming to this area a lot back in the days
yeah, this footage is dope!!!!
Yep, during the times when people came outside in their neighborhoods
2:56 the Korean store, optician store and the laundromat is still there till this day

Brooklyn and Chicago streets look damn near Identical!!!
They really do sometimes Baltimore also
Lol the kids at the end
They passed my corner and i remember all them stores that's not there no more. A few guys are still locked up from them times till today
Alot of business is gone since 1995
Definitely brought back a lotta memories being from Flatbush myself it definitely was live in 95 and 96 compared to Flatbush now 💯
3:12 that’s my grandparents sneaker store 😅❤
When no cellphones existed. As a 2000s baby I always wondered what growing up in 90s felt like

It's was was m different
You missed out on
Ocean avenue and church avenue 🗽♥️🥰
Pay phones and beeper days. I was 15 and this was the best place in the world
The ice cream trucks don’t even make this sound anymore the buses don’t brake with this sound either I can cry I’m from the south bronx
Before the cell phones , before instagram , tik tok
New York when I was there, ‘95 I was in the 6-7 grade in Yonkers but living in Jamaica Queens, Bo’s my hometown though but neva lived there
Bk’s
Throwback to my childhood!
One chinese spot says Open 7 days a week. Come to think of it, pretty much no chinese spots in the hood closed on any days. Money was rollin' in for them wings and fries, extra hot sauce and ketchup. Ketchup and bbq if you were up on that at all. 😋
With $3 you get fries or plain fry rice with 4 wings
My old neighborhood, been looking for some footage from this time for years now. BK, that's who we are!
Lot of places closed this must of been a Sunday
i thought the same thing...more than likely i was at kenmore watching a 3 dollar movie
😂😂 3 dollar ill be in there all day watching all the movies
they have the best nachos til this day.
48th still got that laundry and West Indian grocery🔥
This video makes me think of Biggie Smalls

Omg! Old FlatBush ‼️
