The footage when the "Love Party" song begins is after 1986 due to the appearance of the NY license plates. The white plates with the Statue of Liberty in the center were utilized from 1986 to 2000.
Previous NYS plates were blue with orange letters from 1969 thru 1973 and orange with blue letters from 1974 thru 1985. The letters on these plates were county codes. For some reason at one point the letter "T" was added at the beginning of the county code. In those years the plates had a designated area (bottom right) to place the stickers after the registration was first issued or renewed.
Pobre Madge me preguntó cuanto habra sufrido estando por ahi, ella no estaba en el Bronx pero si estaba en un barrio llamado east village que quedaba cerca por ahi y era una zona muy peligrosa, Madge dijo que fue asaltada y abusada en esas calles en un apartamento bastante deteriodado en donde ella vivia que bueno que salio de ese infierno
At exactly 1:02 what looks like looking north at the corner of East 172 st. and Seabury Pl. the building to the right that has what looks like a dome on top is no other than what used to be Herman Ridder J.H.S. 098 now known as X511 Bronx Envision Academy. For me is sad to look at these images because I remember back in the 60's when I used to live there almost every empty spot you see was occupied mainly by tenement buildings. I made many friends then and don't know their whereabouts. Es
@@Barny5ive Absolutely not. I used to live right at 1412 Charlotte St. That was the corner building where Minford Pl. and Charlotte St. merged into Jennings St. If you look carefully you will see that you are a city block away from Herman Ridder H.S.. Charlotte St. was two city blocks away from Herman Ridder. Seabury Pl. ended at Charlotte St. from there on it was 170th St.
@@r.pres.4121 Lived in the Bronx at the time, for most part in the South Bronx. I walked these streets during the day and during the night, sometimes very late at night or early morning. At times coming or going to work, other times while visiting family and friends or just hanging out, never had any problems or felt endangered. I'm 75 years old now and have nothing to regret about it. I still love the Bronx
@@dassolosyndikat5113 So your assumption is more powerful and truthful than my own life experience. Let me just say that you know nothing about the people of the Bronx and their realities. What you read about I have lived.
I'm from the Bronx born in 70s. I still want to know how the south Bronx got like that it looked like a war had taken place not a bunch of insurance scams. How long did it really look like that . I have to find some real old pictures from like the 1800s because I don't believe the historical narrative in any way. Oh and what a difference today so much better aesthetically
That was when NYC almost went bankrupt.. Their was a lot of corruption back then.. The city cutoff $$$ to the fire department and of course they started shutting down fire station all over The Bronx and fires were not being put out and would last for days .. Entire blocks were turn to ashes..
The South Bronx got like this because of Democrats. Giuliani made tremendous improvements in the quality of life residents lived in and had a very successful run as NYC Mayor. Unfortunately, the city zombies started electing Democrats agains. So it all fell apart.
It all started post-War. Urban renewal policies and the loss of the manufacturing industry was the first blow. Then came White flight and the surge of poor immigrants. Then during Vietnam, billions of dollars in federal money was spent on the war & not rebuilding cities. And when the cities were left for dead, the property owners started burning down their buildings for the insurance money & eventual abandonment. And the death blow was the heroin epidemic.
Did people then legally live there? I mean that was their official address. I also wonder if many homeless then stayed there for shelter. I bet many fires started because of the lack of heat during the cold winter months. Hopefully there was still some running water and maybe a few electrical outlets that had power..
The Thrid Avenue Elevated line shouldn't never been talking down. You know that was a big crime tairing down the Thrid Avenue Elevated line down. They know dam well that the 2 5 trains has the same exact metal steel structures Elevated line s . That's the reason why the Thrid Avenue Elevated line pictures are definitely popping up like every before on you tube. All that extra elevated lines tairing down and a big waste of money tairing down the the extra elevated lines down . That was important line that took people from point A to point B on the Thrid Avenue Elevated line.
All they definitely need to do now is bring the Thrid Avenue Elevated line back in south Bronx Clearmount Avenue Webster cence they are definitely rebuilding the affordable houses over there. That was a shame that they torn down the old Thrid Avenue Elevated line down back in 1974.
@@marchellochiovelli7259 You sound ignorant. Hip-hop didn’t produce these conditions. It was the other way around…out of these conditions, hip-hop was born. The poverty, the struggle, the hopelessness. Those kids made something out of literally NOTHING. That’s what early hip-hop was about. The rappers back then addressed these very real issues. They were tired of seeing the crack epidemic destroy their neighborhoods and wipe out a whole generation before their eyes. Out of that despair, hip-hop was born. Thats what they spoke about in their rhymes (listen to “The Message” by The Furious Five). Unfortunately, hip-hop eventually became commercialized and with that, the white record label execs deemed that type of hip-hop unmarketable and nowadays artist who sell tons of records all push that negative shit (doing hard drugs, materialism, killings, etc) on our youth. There is still positive hip-hop out there but sadly that type of hip-hop is not mainstream, only to be found on the underground scene and hardly sell any records.
FK ME RUNNING!, imagine the depression of having to live there, I mean, looking at destruction every time you get out of bed, it was bad in the UK in the 70s but that's '82 life was fkn great in the 80s in the UK, that looks like something from Germany after WW11, wow.

I was correct. The Getty Image videos are from 11/08/1988.

I'm so glad that I don't live there anymore, this place was depressing as all hell.
Is that The Projects?
I lived there for 50 years and was thru all of this. I regret nothing about it, the experience help me grow a lot.
The video made me feel like if I was there again driving my car thru the streets. Couldn't help feeling sad, I'm 75 years old now.
@ Tell me about it. Thanks and good luck.
It still is, I moved out of the Bronx permanently 7 years ago. Ask me how many friends and loved ones died since then. 😢
At least the music back then was so much better than what we have today.
We moved out of The Bronx in 1981, not by choice, I which I never had to, I loved The Bronx but no a place to bring up a family at the time. 😢
Madge también paso por lo mismo en esos años en nueva York
Thank you for uploading the extended version!
You welcome
The South Bronx and NYC as a whole were dangerous as hell in 1982, the murder rate was over 1,000 a year.

This looks more from the mid 80s , parachute jackets did not come till 85
You're right cause Fordham Plaza wasn't built til 86 87 if I'm not mistaken!!!
And that´s how Charles Bronson was born Lol.
did the owners of all these assorted building go bankrupt ? I'm confused by this
Bronx changed a lot but good to see people getting out the hood not to many Puerto Ricans and blacks their as there used to be
There's still blacks
I hope the city looks better now
Looks like Europe during WW 2

This is the police and we found your car.
194th st and Webster ave. is not part of the south Bronx, that's north Bronx.

@@leecornwell5632 The ridership was down, plus the MTA wanted to make a replacement. The study of the Triboro line might be that replacement
not like this, it looked like fucking nuke dropped.
Why the Bronx changed a lot 😳
What war destroyed that city like that?
Democrats
yup, definitely Democrats and liberals.
Wrong capitalism and racism.
@@orangecat5036 no.
Looks like what I imagine hell would look like. Minus the fire and brimstone. 👀👀👀
I used to go to Stevenson High School in the '80s that's of White Plains Road I never saw it buildings that bad at least not on that side
Damn it literally looks like a nuke went off there.
You sure these aren’t outtakes from The Day After that got mislabeled?
😂😅 same thought i had!
This can't be 1982, Ford Taurus and Plymouth Sundance came later.
Too bad it’s not like that anymore…
It’s looks super cool
By 2030 it will look like that again
Not cool… the trenches
Nobody love no one's no more 2022
Man , looks like a war zone .
It looks like Berlin in 1945...
