Some of the best times of my life were walking through those same Streets back in the 70s as a young boy with my abuelita, and early 80s as a teenager. Times were rough on 183rd and Walton Ave but there were also good times with family, friends and people that I will never forget. Though it's been many years since I've visited my old block, I'll never forget the valuable lessons that I learned in those streets.
@@vincekearney6010 Some of those buildings came down a long time ago. I lived on 2327 Walton Ave, there were 4 abandoned buildings on my block with one of them right next door to me.
I used to live on Ryer Ave when I was a little kid during the early to mid 80s. It was near the Grand Concourse and Fordham Road. Me and my family used to go to the movies a lot on Fordham as well as shopping at Alexander's, Woolworths and Sears. I have great nostalgia for those days. I haven't been around there in a couple of years and I rarely go around there anymore. Pretty much everything I used to love around there went away ages ago.
@nobody I think laser blast was the first movie I saw there. I also used to go to the RKO & Capri further down on Fordham rd. And also the Lowe's Paradise on Grand Concourse.
So much memories as a kid and being a teenager..I went to school between Morris Avenue and Walton Junior High School 117 I was all over the place.. Lol
The 4 train was what i used to take. Everywhere I went I saw those damn train tracks. I lived in the bronx at this time. Born in 57. Lived off of Jerome and Gun Hill. Developed my social skills in that neighborhood.
So nostalgic. Can’t believe how fordham has changed but remained to same so much. Gyro king has been same location for dam near 50 years. Army Navy store as well. Wow.
Wow, Fordham Road and Grand Concourse! Minute 5:00 and on Alexanders, Woolworths, great small shops. Good times shopping for bargains while at Lehman College😀👍😘
I lived at 218th st., corner with Barnes Ave. From 1991 till 1994., near train 2. I was mugged one night coming home from my restaurant job. Nowadays the neighborhood is pretty safe comparing with those years.
Thank you! This collection of home movies is from my Fb page Bronx Memories Fordham Walton. I thought it would be nice to put all the old photos etc there for my own, friends’ and family’s interest as well as for anyone associated with that area. I wanted to return there to do a then-and-now series but life got in the way and that plan is indefinitely postponed.

Now..and my soul is still from the bronx...
I lived around the corner from fava on Walton Ave. I couldn't afford Pumas.. I remember getting a blue pair of suede sneakers from fava that looked like Pumas only the white logo stripe was upside down.. Lol

@@joericci4094 Wow that's a lot of movies, lol! I was on Walton and 183rd from the mid-70s all the way until mid 1983. I can't remember all the movies I've seen during that time. But the first one was definitely Star Wars and the last one was either Cat People or Return of the Jedi.
Most my cousins lived by you...i was on university and fordam from 77 to 92...then i moved to miami fla...what a difference in scenery and quality of people....25 years here in miami and still havent found the same caliber of people....but the fishing is great...peace
My old neighborhood. I lived in Fordham Hill oval and graduated from Theodore Roosevelt High. My aunt lived on Walton in that very apartment complex. I’m old enough to remember when there was a movie theater right across Fordham Rd from Gyro King. I remember the old Dunkin’ Donuts on the Concourse across from Alexanders. And of course the ubiquitous number 4 elevated. Moved away 30 years ago, but I admit sometimes I miss the noisey hustling and bustling.
Loving this one thanks for sharing very important information giving thanks blessed love to all knowledge is power hopefully everyone pays attention keep up the good 🙏🙏🙏🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲💪💪💪
I have very fond memories of both the RKO fordham movie theater as well as the valentine theater the latter is where me and my father saw the 80s horror flick the Grimm reaper with Mia farrows real life sister Tisha who appeared in that film and of course there is the lows paradise movie theater where we saw the movie flash dance there used to be an X rated movie theater there that was always playing the devil in miss Jones of course I was way to young to see it such awsome memories of the bronx in the 80s. I just wish that this awsome video was a whole lot longer thank you so much for sharing I hope there will be a much much longer version if possible stay safe out there .
OMG... I just seen the optical clinic where I used to get my vision checked in the early 90’s as a 12 year old boy on Fordham and the concourse. I continued going there then in the mids 2000’s they made the clinic was half its side and finally in 2010 I believe they was gone. What’s crazy that’s where I got my first set of contact lenses in 1998, I’ll never forget!!. Now Fordham Rd is no longer small owned business, its all big corporate America retail stores expect a few like Jewelers, Pharmacy’s, 99 cent stores and the few pizza places. Forgot to mention does anyone remember buying badly recorded bootleg movies on vcr tape(vhs) from the guys with there bed sheets ready to run from police if the pull up, the card games where they hustle you out your money, and many more memories... wow flashbacks.....
We lived on Claflin Ave in back of the armory and kept the apt until 1985 rent control had us at 55 dollars a month. Even when we moved to jersey my nanny kept the place until her death in 1985. My father hated the Bronx and I loved it which set up a lifelong conflict taranctula knows
Nice to see this video of how Fordham and Walton looked during that time! I love pictures/footages taken in the past! & it was so great to get a glimpse of the church I attend, Estrella de Jacob right on 184 & Walton Ave! ALL ARE WELCOME♥️ I right away recognized the view of Fordham and Walton from the train station. And Fordham back then was full of people and busy just as today. I’d like to wonder how life was at that time. Yes Gyro King is still there, Modell’s, Kids World, and the bakery on Jerome and Fordham near PS 33.
Great video. Thanks for this. Say at 4:15 or so is that Mollo's health foods? If so, that's the only photo of it I've ever seen. My mother was into health foods and she'd shop there in the sixties. I think Mollo's was around through the eighties at least.
I hope to get back to the old neighborhood this autumn to take photos and video of pretty much the same things just to note the never ending changes. I would love to be able to get into one of my old buildings just to take a photo of the lobby!
Health issues and general busy-ness are delaying me going back to the old neighborhood to make updates to this video but I hope to get there soon... like in November. Meanwhile if anyone lives in 2406 or 2445 Walton or 56 E 184 and would be kind enough to let me in to photograph the lobby I’d be eternally grateful!

Did u see the cops walking the beat..... And people passes by them close and they didnt shoot or fear for there lives....i remember we the community knew the local cops and talked with them like human to human....
To me the Bronx was a terrible Place. Dirty, noisy, and always had high crime. The buses and trains were filthy. Junk stores, no quality at all. the schools worthless. I was born in the Bronx and left in 1970, never to look back. Amazing how anyone has good memories. I went to Evander Childs HS .. it was a hell hole. I graduated with a 98% average.... yet I got to the University of Georgia in 1970 and was far behind the students from every other state. By uncle was mugged and killed in 1962 on Fordham Road. A cousin was mugged coming fom Roosevelt HS, and never recovered 100%. Our house on Baychester avenue in 1964, was robbed 5 times, we had to live with bars on our windows. Everyone had several locks on their doors! and steel bars that went from the door and went into a slot in the floor, to prevent someone from kicking in the door.. Look close at all the photo's, you can see the trash in the streets! Good memories, I say not.. I would never have raised a family in the Bronx.
Arnold Stollar Not much was back then unfortunately. There is some improvement with el access but too many apartment houses are still the way they were when they were built 20s-60s with too many steps to get in and out.
Wanda Corley The people who grew up in that neighborhood know what it is and that is the whole point of the video. Sorry the 8mm film transfer isn’t perfect. There was a soundtrack but I muted it because it was full of static.
Didn't need words!! I could recognize all the old landmark buildings: Woolworths, Alexander's, #4 train (lived on that line), and Fordham Road! These were my old stompin' grounds!! Thanks for the memories!!

Loved it there.
aud schaeffer that was close by the RKO Fordham
I sure do they would cook the flame broiled burgers right on the grill right in front of the window and it would make your mouth water.
We always walked past it but I’m not sure we ate there. Maybe once. Was it called The Flaming Pit in the late 60s-early 70s?
we skitched a bus up fordham road to alexanders then walk to model davigas .
That building is still there where that Alexander’s was.
