Thank you, you helped me recollect a college art professor walking me from NY City, taking a couple of holy moley fast subways and we struggled to fine a particular cuisine Mexican restaurant. I remember 141st and past 149th St., it was a raw environment although I seen hundreds of people struggling through that day. We'd gone to the NY Metropolitan Museum on a tour bus trip with a group of college students, we split and were to meet the group at a particular intersection to catch the tour bus stop for the return trip to our destination, very late at night. The people were friendly, busy living their lives and most resided in those huge monstrous size apartment buildings. I was awed at none of those city people begged for money, not one and we passed people by the hundreds that evening. Thank you Samsebeskazal Denis for sharing your videos!
Love watching these videos. I live in England. Everything looks so different. I've always wanted to live in the states but not sure about New York though.....anyway thanks for posting, very interesting
MistyBlue102 I live in the UK I visited New York City 3 years ago I was amazed at how safe we felt and how welcoming the people we met there an absolutely memorable once in a lifetime memory I will never forget fantastic ❤️🇬🇧
Interesting video on the South Bronx. So different from where I live. It's a whole different way of living with so many different people. Thanks for allowing me to have a glimpse of what it's like there.
I've been living in the Bronx for the last 32 years... I worked in many areas of Manhattan and I must say that my experience in this amazing city has been a rollercoaster. When I first arrived back in 87, the entire city, meaning all five boroughs had a thousands of abandoned buildings where all kinds of extreme dangerous scenarios were happening. I personally got mugged and beaten just for being at the wrong place at the wrong time. Nevertheless, the entire city has gone through an amazing change for the better... Nowadays, there is practically no abandoned or empty buildings or empty lots occupied by drug addicts or prostitutes. There is a strong police presence and somehow a much better feeling of security compared to the 80s and 90s... Of course, there are still some areas where their residents are simply uneducated, mean, and violently unpleasant worth NOT mentioning. But you'll also find great neighborhoods with amazing areas with views to the Hudson river or to the ocean bay that offer comfortable, secure and high quality of life... In Conclusion, I love New York City specially the areas I choose to be around...
I live right by there ahhh the good old days. roaches in the apartments. piss in the elevators. buying arizona and doritos. using a hydrant pump as a sprinkler. so many good days.
Respectfully, as I stated before, while there are people struggling economically in the Bronx, the drama hungry "Drive-By-Media" reporters forget to mention that there are MANY middle income families & individuals that are actually doing OK, live in clean homes, attend Church, take vacations, support local businesses, and have modern cars. The entire Bronx is not overrun with gangs and crimes, as often portrayed, although it does exist, of course. The Bronx is much cleaner than back in the 70s when I was growing up there with two wonderful parents. As in any city, if visiting or moving in, enjoy yourself BUT use good sense and: A). Always be aware of your surroundings, B) DON'T act like a goofy wide-eyed tourist. C. When making purchases guard your credit cards/cash and don't "flash them". D) When riding the subway don't put your wallet in your back pocket. Pick-pockets have been around since the 1800s and they love crowds especially during the rush hour.
+Swindeville 90z Saddening since the South Bronx it seemed to be making a good comeback during the 90s and early 2000s. I'm glad that the areas further north (Marble Hill section, Allerton Ave areas, Pelham Pkwy, and Gun Hill Rd ) are cleaner and doing much better than in years past. Good number of modern, clean apartments/town homes built up with professionals moving in.
Im from Germany and I spent some time in the Bronx during my trip to NYC. I even got lost with my girlfriend in an area around Melrouse, but a nice young lady helped us to get to the next metro station. I never felt any threat or uncomfortable. The Bronx looks absolutely great, the spirit of Hip Hop is in the air, it is just a nice place! But I have to say that I wouldnt go there at night... Still looking forward to the next time.
Stop being a puss! One thing is for certain if u visit the Bronx, u might some balls lol Ppl act like they can't get shot just the same in Times Square, hunts point, or the Bowery.
So many stabbings going on in London. 4 more last 48 hours and 2 dead. London getting more dangerous as UK prime minister theresa May closed down a lot of police stations and cut there fundings.
So glad to see someone else pointing this out. There are many struggling people in the Bronx, but what's often left out of the media reports is that there are also many middle income families & individuals that are actually doing OK and live in clean homes, take vacations, and have fairly modern cars. The entire Bronx is not overrun with gangs and crimes, although it does exist, of course. To Bronx looks much cleaner than back in the 70s when I was growing up there with two wonderful parents.
Great job. Well done you. Born and raised in the BX and proud of it. 196 & Kingsbridge on Concourse. Miss it. My dad taught at Bx Vocational aka Smith HS
I used too work at Bronx criminal court house downstairs, I used to aid battered and abused woman and children, was a hard job sometimes. Got too me had too give it up. People have a odd way of showing how much they claim to love someone.
@@passthebutter6037 i love the Bronx. Beautiful people and culture. Spent time there and never heard gunshot or anything bad. Colorful beautiful people and borough
The Bronx: Respect...I was there for so many years.Don't mind the Haters.Whatever! Respect! All of them come to you,B(ronx):Dtrain,Number 1,2,4...Latino,black,white,asian...You survive the Hate...Grand concourse,Yankee Stadium,Latin flavour...
It's unreal reading some of these comments. Some of the best people come out of places like the Bronx. It's best to be silent than to spew the ignorance that comes out.
One day the whole country gonna respect the Bronx, kids are able to play outside with out worrying about nobody kidnapping them like in isolated rich places
Not particularly a fan of the BX but I must say, every borough has it's own vibe & unless you were RAISED in NY, you'll NEVER understand it like we do!!! & we don't give a shit if you get it or like it. It's our city & we rep it to the fullest!!! NY, all day!!!!
Officially the neighborhoods of the South Bronx are Concourse, Highbridge, Hunts Point, Longwood, Melrose, Morrisiania, Mott Haven, Port Morris. I think this is mainly in the Mott Haven section.
For the people that are so critical, you need to reconsider your opinion. All, I see are a lot of poor people walking and working in mom & pop businesses. Not everyone can live in the Upper East side, Park Slope, or Grand Concourse. And yes bad people are residing in this area I am sure of that, but most of the people are honest people who just want a good life for their children. I didn't observe one child out of control running the streets or harassing people. One thing is for sure there were some hot men. Perhaps I should try meeting some latin men. :-)
@@brianpreston8483 When you cant walk those rich areas at midnight without being harassed, robbed, raped, assaulted, then you can talk about those "bad people". Big difference between being a bad person and a savage person. Plenty more people in these neighborhoods have zero regard for human life.
Gosh i truly miss the bronx and my puerto rican peeps, i was born and raised there and someday i shall return. I wouldnt mind moving back to the ghetto, thats how much i miss the bronx
The Boogy Down Bronx. Yes the South Bronx. I have lived in the BX for 39 yrs. Raised three children and others. Who came out darn great. The BX is multicultural. And I love it. Some of the culture does not understand each other. But we show respect to one another in the community. The only thing I do question at times. Why do one's leave where they lived. Each and everyday. To come hang out in front of another building. The BX is nice. All just have to treat each other right. Love the Boogie Down! Hip Hop! And the hill's made the people 💪.
Usually the negativity,comes from people that never been here,nor lived here,so keep it to yourselves,I've been in The Bronx for 43 years,,,,,,I wont change it for anything,,,,,By the way,whomever filmed it,it was very nice,,,thanks!
I know some will disagree with me, but an area that has been very cool for shopping since the 1960s is "The Hub" which is the area of 3rd Avenue and 149th Street. Lots of businesses with anything/everything at decent prices. It will take you hours to visit every store there. The #2 and #5 subway trains stop there as do several bus lines. I have fond memories of going there many times with my Mom. Saddened me when the MTA tore down the 3rd Avenue EL Train line that ran overhead. Now, 40 years later the transit authority regrets that decision since now the buses that replaced that line are often overcrowded. Of course, a number of bureaucrats back in the 1970s tended to be short term thinkers.
I certainly miss those days. Little goofy memory: I still remember that in Alexander's 2nd floor there was an ice cream sandwich dispensing machine. For a quarter, the ice cream sandwich you got was huge! Although we were on a tight budget, my mom would get one for me and one for my sister nearly every time we visited there, via the #2 subway or the 3rd Ave El. Simple childhood pleasures that today's techno-generation kids could never comprehend nor appreciate, sad to say.
@@TheTimeForChange44 Yep.. and across the street was on old elementary school built in 1886. I think it was P.S.123. Now are row houses. Thank you very much for taking the videos. Take care. Fernando
@@N2FQ Hi Fernando: P.S. 123 was before my time. I went to P.S. 43x up the hill from the Puerto Rican Theater. Maybe P.S. 123 became Argus (that was the school across the street from P.S. 43x. I know there are row houses on Brook Avenue below where that school used to be. Thank you for your input.
@@TheTimeForChange44 Hello.. I also remember that school. Across from it was another called a "600" school. Back in the day, ruff kids where sent to "600" schools. Don't know if that is the case nowadays. I went to Junior High School down on St. Anns before we moved to Brooklyn. Still, I came back to the Bronx to attend Samuel Gompers High School. Back then it was an all boys school. Anyway, Willis Ave was my playground too.. Thanks for the memories. Fernando
Well made Video!! - it reminds me of the Show Becker, but your video is modern day Bronx ~ Great Video!! (we watch from Australia) 😁 ~ We want to visit when they lets us travel (due to covid😷)
I'm a Brooklyn native myself...but any area,even this area of the South Bronx,is consisted of everyday people who work, struggle like every body else....it's just when negative things happen ,all of a sudden there's a stigma or stereo type.... every where around the globe,there are good peaceful areas,with good and bad element..no matter what or where...I grew up in Bed Stuy Brooklyn all my life 30 yrs and am now residing in East Flatbush....20 years .... I've seen the good and bad ...but most is good...it's the element that is around you....10 shootings can take place over 2 _3 days in innner city neighborhoods but there could always be a serial killer living in the next house in a quiet neighborhood in Ohio...do you get my drift??...good post.👍
According to my country's standards it looks like a decent place to live. Maybe its the inhabitants who make it dangerous. Who knows... Sorry for my ignorance
Vangos Hector well I use to live in the Bronx so in the 80s/90s the Bronx was all poor and a trash filled dump it was basically an all gang area but a couple years after 9/11 they started cleaning up the Bronx people that tell you the Bronx are bad have either not been to the Bronx in years or they heard it from someone
I had a beautiful apartment at 331 east 132nd st. A nice view of the bridge and river. Do I miss it? Sometimes but only for the convince. Moving out of nyc was the best decision I’ve ever made. More money and I’m so much more happy within.
That's only many years into the 90's and 2000's.....I grew up there in the 60's and 70's, and it was not nearly this nice!! Check out South Bronx 70's. :)
I lived in the BX most of my life - 320 Morris ave Patterson Projects. I moved to Middletown N.Y 5yrs ago. I can say from experience despite what you see in this video the Bronx is still wild. Even with new construction and the crime rate dropping alittle DON'T BE FOOLED !!! MY HOOD FOREVER !
That’s Beekman ave where the video starts and when he turns that’s 141st my old neighborhood back then it was like death itself here. It was a lot worst those apartment with the white doors weren’t there
at lease when you come to the bronx we know who is doing the killing no race card and we keep away from them we know who you are.the lowlife from the ghetto.
"Broken glass everywhere! People pissing on the stairs, you know they just dont care. Can't stand the smell, cant take the noise, got no money to move out I guess I got no choice"
I'm from Philly but I lived in the bronx in the 80s I love the bronx east side 180th and Belmont visit often the bronx looks pretty compared to North Philly
Why are police scared to be thier it's 2020 it's not bad like the 70 s although that's the best time to be in cause they had cool people there in that time but too dangerous though easy to get killed
Without the internet I would have never seen this. Im lucky to have been raised sheltered from the knowledge of this. I couldn't imagine living there and thinking that's life. I live on the west coast where shit like this is unimaginable.
I am from the Bronx. I've been living in the Bronx for 48years. I was raised in the Bronx, and graduated High School, and proceeded to go to college. I love my Bronx... There are good and bad people all over , but people think that everything and everybody in the Bronx are bad. Why? Because the media just center their attention to report the bad actions of the Bronx. The Bronx is a borough that has beautiful places to visit, and not all the poor people are bad. The Bronx has improved through the years. I am very proud to say, that I am from the Bronx, and I won't change it for no other ritzy place . People from the Bronx are down to earth.. We tell you how it is.

Puerto Ricans should vote republicans, I'm a NeoRican raised in the Bronx, I'm one of them who moved out of NYC, my pension is too nominal to survive in the Big Apple.
The "SoBro" is now a HOT Real Estate Market. The Latinos (except Some transplanted Puerto Ricans) take Good care of their neighborhoods, as did the Jews Before them.
@Joseph Lisitza YES-back when they thought that Hood was Dead and never coming back. Detroit-and parts of Cleveland and St Louis-along with other US cities, still have those issues-but all of NYC has at least some value-because of it's proximity to Manhattan.
I drove through the Bronx in 1973. It looked like Berlin in 1945. This is like a 10,000% improvement over that!
I lived in Lambert Houses near the Bronx Zoo. I could hear the 2 and the 5, the animals awakening and the city come to life. I loved it all!
Miss the house parties with a bad ass dj just having fun, dancing to that 70/80 music and the beat goes on just like my love ever lasting......
Wow, thank you for this. It's been almost 40 years since I left the city, thank you for letting me re-live it. I'll be looking for more!
like the way it's done, no crappy music means you can actually get a real good feel when you hear the sounds as it's not just the sights.
Theres crappy music all over the bronx

South Bronx in the 1970's was a disaster. This is an upgrade.

Respectfully, as I stated before, while there are people struggling economically in the Bronx, the drama hungry "Drive-By-Media" reporters forget to mention that there are MANY middle income families & individuals that are actually doing OK, live in clean homes, attend Church, take vacations, support local businesses, and have modern cars. The entire Bronx is not overrun with gangs and crimes, as often portrayed, although it does exist, of course. The Bronx is much cleaner than back in the 70s when I was growing up there with two wonderful parents. As in any city, if visiting or moving in, enjoy yourself BUT use good sense and: A). Always be aware of your surroundings, B) DON'T act like a goofy wide-eyed tourist. C. When making purchases guard your credit cards/cash and don't "flash them".

@@TheTimeForChange44 Hello.. I also remember that school. Across from it was another called a "600" school. Back in the day, ruff kids where sent to "600" schools. Don't know if that is the case nowadays. I went to Junior High School down on St. Anns before we moved to Brooklyn. Still, I came back to the Bronx to attend Samuel Gompers High School. Back then it was an all boys school. Anyway, Willis Ave was my playground too.. Thanks for the memories. Fernando
It just looks like a regular neighborhood...
Skips down the street😆😆😆😆😆
Don’t be fooled ... 🐺
You think that looks like a regular neighborhood!
Dont sleep
It's fine just watch your back at night that's all it's not rough like it was back in the 1970s
Well made Video!! - it reminds me of the Show Becker, but your video is modern day Bronx ~ Great Video!! (we watch from Australia) 😁 ~ We want to visit when they lets us travel (due to covid😷)
Vivo en el sur del bx por 40 años y no lo cambio por nada.solo hay q saber vivir.y trabajar honradamente y cada quien en lo suyo sin problemas.
from where I live this is a different world. I hope to visit one day
I'm a Brooklyn native myself...but any area,even this area of the South Bronx,is consisted of everyday people who work, struggle like every body else....it's just when negative things happen ,all of a sudden there's a stigma or stereo type.... every where around the globe,there are good peaceful areas,with good and bad element..no matter what or where...I grew up in Bed Stuy Brooklyn all my life 30 yrs and am now residing in East Flatbush....20 years .... I've seen the good and bad ...but most is good...it's the element that is around you....10 shootings can take place over 2 _3 days in innner city neighborhoods but there could always be a serial killer living in the next house in a quiet neighborhood in Ohio...do you get my drift??...good post.👍
is it like that all the time there in the Bronx......what I mean is I se a lot of people outside everywhere, is it normally like that everyday there?
According to my country's standards it looks like a decent place to live.
Maybe its the inhabitants who make it dangerous. Who knows...
Sorry for my ignorance
JayoJay Im from Greece
Same in Brazil.
Vangos Hector well I use to live in the Bronx so in the 80s/90s the Bronx was all poor and a trash filled dump it was basically an all gang area but a couple years after 9/11 they started cleaning up the Bronx people that tell you the Bronx are bad have either not been to the Bronx in years or they heard it from someone
Grandpa Bleach that's still happening
Tarcisio Santana in depends where in brazil tbh
I had a beautiful apartment at 331 east 132nd st. A nice view of the bridge and river. Do I miss it? Sometimes but only for the convince. Moving out of nyc was the best decision I’ve ever made. More money and I’m so much more happy within.
That's only many years into the 90's and 2000's.....I grew up there in the 60's and 70's, and it was not nearly this nice!! Check out South Bronx 70's. :)
How tf are you alive
Nelo Jackson she’s in her 50s
I lived in the BX most of my life - 320 Morris ave Patterson Projects. I moved to Middletown N.Y 5yrs ago. I can say from experience despite what you see in this video the Bronx is still wild. Even with new construction and the crime rate dropping alittle DON'T BE FOOLED !!! MY HOOD FOREVER !
It's new York u gotta love it!
Денис с удовольствием смотрю твои репортажи , очень впечатляюще
The South Bronx my 💜 Southern Blvd, 149st, Jackson Ave, 167th st, Hunts Point, Prospect, Simpson st, 161st and Yankee, 3rd ave...😍🤗
Tremont ave. 3rd ave. The Bronx, been all over the Bronx and Brooklyn. Fox st. Tiffany ave. in the 70's.
yESSSS BOIII
That’s Beekman ave where the video starts and when he turns that’s 141st my old neighborhood back then it was like death itself here. It was a lot worst those apartment with the white doors weren’t there
I love my city!!
Word! NYC for life!
beswick1111 yes im
at lease when you come to the bronx we know who is doing the killing no race card and we keep away from them we know who you are.the lowlife from the ghetto.
Well said
Your city is dirty fam
Looks like a nice place to go out have a walk and socialize with neighbors
"Broken glass everywhere! People pissing on the stairs, you know they just dont care. Can't stand the smell, cant take the noise, got no money to move out I guess I got no choice"
Message by grandmaster flash and furious 5 is true story of inner city in nyc
Looks way better than the 80 s
God, I wish I could afford to live in NYC.
Hola me suscribo me gustó mucho, el video podría subir uno del, río bronx, saludó desde República Dominicana
Хотел бы сейчас на них всех посмотреть,вживую года через два,думаю смогу!
I'm from Philly but I lived in the bronx in the 80s I love the bronx east side 180th and Belmont visit often the bronx looks pretty compared to North Philly
Poor community but with lots of spirit. Police presence is scarce though.
Why are police scared to be thier it's 2020 it's not bad like the 70 s although that's the best time to be in cause they had cool people there in that time but too dangerous though easy to get killed
AlisaForestHillsCB3 Brigades scarce, not scared. Dumbass.
Man, What camera you use in this video?
Birth place of hip hop
Is any of this footage around the Grand Concourse area?.
No this is around Melrose section
Thank you so much for this video. MOTT HAVEN IS IN DA HOUSE!
They always skipping over us. Mitchel projects in da building..

Are you still in SBX? I left a long time ago to go to school and never went back.
I lived on 138, I was in between all of the violence from the projects since I lived in the middle of all of them.
Without the internet I would have never seen this. Im lucky to have been raised sheltered from the knowledge of this. I couldn't imagine living there and thinking that's life. I live on the west coast where shit like this is unimaginable.
Hmmm, I live in Russia and I see that All poor streets in the world do not differ from each other
I don't know, if Bronx is so poor, it looks far better than most Eastern and South Eastern cities that are considered poor.
That's true..your smarter than most of the people here who commented that it ain't bad. And didn't have a big ego about it.
Now thr bronx thanks im liking your vidios. Cause its no talking. I can just watch and enjoy
I've seen much worse places in Eastern Europe.
+NPoetic and there are much worse places in africa bro
the richest country in the world, people can sit on the street and multiply :)
+Xmarti21 We owe like 16 trillion dollars to China. The fuck are you sayin
exactly there's still full streets with lots of business, lots of traffic controls, relatively clean, not many homeless
Leho because its Europe dah its worse. but the bronx is still bad.
Yup! That's my Bronx! Great video! Thanks for sharing! ❤✌
I am from the Bronx. I've been living in the Bronx for 48years. I was raised in the Bronx, and graduated High School, and proceeded to go to college. I love my Bronx... There are good and bad people all over , but people think that everything and everybody in the Bronx are bad. Why? Because the media just center their attention to report the bad actions of the Bronx. The Bronx is a borough that has beautiful places to visit, and not all the poor people are bad. The Bronx has improved through the years. I am very proud to say, that I am from the Bronx, and I won't change it for no other ritzy place . People from the Bronx are down to earth.. We tell you how it is.
Клааасс!👍Как будто сам по улицам походил.Такие же "покемоны" на улице попадаются на глаза🤣🤣👌 как и у нас в Краснодаре.Но звуки чужого города это нечто,хотя и слышно иногда знакомые нотки...
This place looks amazing. I would love to visit it. How can people call it a shit hole.
XMarvinTheCowX yea its actually very nice compared to what it looked like back in the 80s
Don’t go we don’t wnat tourists in the hood
Jose es un puertorriqueño, dominicana, jamaiquino, y asta mexicano, son Kienes llegaron a levantar la ciudad pérdida delos anos 70' s , ahora vivo en valle de bravo Toluca, men , 32 anos m. Chute viviendo en todo, USA,
I wonder why he didn’t go down near 138th street and mitchel projects...says a lot right there.
the Bronx is sooooooo much better to day then it was when i was a kid back in the 70s and 80s its a much better place to live today
no it's not
1:40 - "PARE DE SUFRIR - Iglesia universal del reino de Dios" ¡¡¡Hasta en la sopa!!!
Deberian ponerle "PARE DE GASTAR" con "...para que nos des todo su dinero" en letras pequeñas debajo :V
Brazilian McChurch franchise
Kkkkkkk...até aí a Universal....
Puta q pariu Tio macedo
Kkkkkkk tava procurando esse comentário
I like how wide the sidewalks are.
is it me or is the south Bronx a total melting pot? I'm seeing White, Black and Latino all rolled into one.
no I live there it is
money be green I bet rents are astronomical as well.
Alex Daniel yea they are pretty high I'd say 1200$ to 1700$ for a 1br in these areas
money be green Daaaamn! I'm paying half that in Pilsen, Chicago.
Puerto Ricans should vote republicans, I'm a NeoRican raised in the Bronx, I'm one of them who moved out of NYC, my pension is too nominal to survive in the Big Apple.
God bless. Your very fortunate to have a much cleaner and safer South bronx than I grew up in
Inner city blues, BX all day.
I live in the South Bronx. It's actually cool living there. I notice you didn't show none of the million projects. Lol
As much as my neighbor annoys tf out of me I wouldn’t want to live anywhere else tbh
I left this place in the 80's and absolutely nothing has change.
Jay Pee Where You at now? If You don't mind Me asking
The "SoBro" is now a HOT Real Estate Market. The Latinos (except Some transplanted Puerto Ricans) take Good care of their neighborhoods, as did the Jews Before them.
@Stephanie Gonzalez you live in Florida though.....................
@Joseph Lisitza YES-back when they thought that Hood was Dead and never coming back. Detroit-and parts of Cleveland and St Louis-along with other US cities, still have those issues-but all of NYC has at least some value-because of it's proximity to Manhattan.
One of my favorite places
South Bronx!! South South Bronx!!!

I love the brox, thank you for sharing! ❤️❤️❤️
