Brooklyn made me everything I am today. The good, the bad and the ugly - and i wouldnt have it any other way. I loved this, thanks for sharing. And keep up the great work youngin. Peace from VA.
Certainly felt the sincerity and humility in the narration of your fond childhood memories in the East. I can definitely relate. I grew up in Linden Projects, 190 Wortman to be exact. Skelly, big wheels, kick the can, balling in the park all day and night, girls braiding hair on the bench and double dutch rope was the daily norm. Then crack hit like a nuclear bomb and everything changed......Keep up the good work and Repping the East. Only Real Ones can relate. 💪🏾💪🏾
Yo u forgot manhunt and bootys up I agree bro hood was crazy wit the Jamaicans running the area during that crack era people getting shot thrown off project buildings I don’t miss those days
@reginaldmackey I appreciate you Tapping in and checking out the video. The East is Special and based on your memories as well you can definitely relate. One Love King 💪🏾💪🏾
You took me back, I’m an OG that Lived, loved and laughed, blood , sweat and tears on my block pickin Ave and Eastern PKY. BK all day ay day, FOR LIFE, u feel me, yo , who remember that skate life “ Empire”, or “Skate City”. Jams, and citing your mathematics in Rockaway or Lincoln Terrace Park. Man Brooklyn is and will always be in me, no matter where I go. It’s not just a place it’s the essence that’s a part of you, 💯 , thanks for this and “ STAY UP, #ONE !
Awesome video! East New York has been my home my whole life, 37 years. Ive seen a lot of changes and been to a lot of places, but ENY will always be my home.
Peace, I appreciate you checking my video out 🙏. I have seen alot as well and I can say now that E.N.Y is Looking better. No quiet where it needs to be yet but its on its way
Thanks for making this video man, this is a perfect example of us telling our own stories from our perspective. Yeah our neighborhood isn't perfect but watching this video, you did a great job of showing some of the reality of living and growing up here. Respect 🙌🏽
I lived across the street from pink houses in the tall buildings (linden plaza) in 1990- 1996. It was fun growing up in bklyn. This video was very nice and nostalgic.
Peace Queen, Thank you for checking out my video. Alot of people think that it's "All Bad" but it really wasn't. There was alot of good times in that neighborhood as long as you knew how to move. I'm getting ready to Film a Documentary in that same neighborhood in 2 weeks
I absolutely look forward to your next video. Thank you for the trip down memory lane. Your right ppl have this misconception about bklyn but it's not as bad as ppl may think.
Great video love all you had to say. Could you please bring on some more maybe with small interviews like your best friend and show us some of the small local businesses that make this special community. Thanks
Lol, hey yo, my old neighborhood, Brooklyn, man oh man I miss it, I also remember, ( TSS , and the underground mall ) Man memories, Yes I also seen it all, poverty discrimination, and much much more, I miss you New York, I shouldn't never left..
Facts, I remember ENY from back in the TSS days. Pink Houses back in the earl and mid 80s. I'm from Brownsville, but lived all over the town: Crown Heights, Flatbush, Coney Island, Bed Stuy. Back when Brooklyn ruled the imaginations of people all over world!!!
@Prínxess Saní What I mean is this: I been all over this country, and people were normally very fascinated by NY in general, but Brooklyn in particular. The borough has a very long history that makes many people want to live there or even envy. Everyone loves or envies that Brooklyn swag. A huge number of very famous people are from Brooklyn, Micheal Jordan, Eddie Murphy, Nia Long , Mike Tyson, on and on. And its the reason why so many people want to relocate there.
hi Shawn, East New York was a great place to grow up . as i said i lived at Bradford Street and Atlantic Avenue and from what i have seen on google earth the building is still there, it brings back great memories to me and i hope the new generations of people who move into the area can have all the same memories as i have had. i now live in Florida and have for years it's alright but i still miss New York and Brooklyn very very much. take care, and please stay safe through all that is going on.
Old Neighborhood....grew up on Sheffield Ave....by Thomas Jeff High school....2 line in the 60’s n 70’s and L train Livonia Ave....as well as A train ..liberty ave...J train...Alabama Ave....awesome memories.....great and scary times......they’re missed.....

This woke up my inner childhood senses, when the video began with the Euclid Ave station. I remember playing on Pitkin Ave. in the summers with school friends from P.S. 159 and family. Moving from Bed-Stuy (Myrtle Ave/Murder ave) to East New York, BK was from bad to worse especially during the crack era. When my mother applied for nycha in thw late 80's. A year later she was offerd three housing projects to choose from. Brownsville, the Rockaways' or L.H. Pink House's.... I don't know how we made it out of East New York. But it gave me a good perspective on what was to come in life. I hope it's more diversified and everyone looks out for one another. Be safe everyone.
Salute & Thank you for checking out the video... Yo, I went to P.S.159 as well 💪🏾💪🏾... Dope childhood memories although there were obviously alot of tuff times growing up in our era..
I remember skateboarding around bushwick with a friend (eldert st and bushwick ave going up towards Thomas boyland into the Rockaway area) around midnight and we realized where we were...I thought we would run into static but people were genuinely interested in us and wanted to know about skateboarding. Was a pretty positive experience
Like your video I live in Kissimmee fl it's a little new York I'm from Brooklyn east new York I lived on Logan and pitkin ave keep up the good work in representing our neighborhood much love peace

Here’s a tip for you. TAKE NOTES PLEASE U want GOOD money and wanna get out alive and well bro finish high school if college ain’t for you learn electrical or plumbing as a trade u can learn on TH-cam go to hardware stores learn about repairs pick up a trade as soon as u hit 18 if u got a bullshit job save up and sign up for a UNION research unions apply for as many as possible. Get a OSHA CARD 30 hours. By the time ur 25 u could be making 35-50 and up an hour live good without college Benefits, health insurance, for u and ur family I never had anyone to guide me or give advice. Stay outta trouble don’t follow friends and remember persistence is key in life don’t give up.
Good stuff. Similar memories in Astoria Projects in Queens. Playing ball all day in the hot sun and only taking a break to when Sal's hot dog truck came for lunch. So many good memories as a child.
Hey Joe I ye moved back to the old building in the nabby.... that ol apartment bring back all kinds of memories the block the stair the building the door that apartment thank for the time ye and yerre folk let me crash on the coach and or the tanning chair on the Terence man.. good to hear yo bought the building to man welcome doggie dog....
I lived on Autumn Avenue between Stanley and Wortman from 1985 to 1988 and went to PS. 224 the heart of pink houses with all them bad ass kids.... Went to I.S 218 for summer school..... then move to Bradford between Sutter and Blake where at that time sh!t was next level real...... Left there in 1993 and move to Irvington New Jersey and that's another level of hood and real sh!t that I didn't expect.... East New York raised me though! shout out to Pink Houses, Star right City, Liberty Ave, Pitkin Ave, Brownsville....all of BROOKLYN!!!
Yeah I grew up in Newark and in the 80's moving to Irvington or East Orange was a step up in life. But once the 90's hit, Irvington and E.O. got just as bad as Newark with the gangs and shit. And Irvington and E.O. had no projects. I came up in Newark when all the projects were still up. Prince St, Hayes, Scudder, Dayton St, 7th Ave, Lil Bricks, Seth Boyden, Hyatt, Bradley Court, Baxter Terrace, etc. When I started going to Brooklyn in my twenties I felt real comfortable because of my coming up in Brick City. Salute to Brooklyn and my hometown of Newark!
What's up Britt. I appreciate the Love, Thank you for checking out my video. East New York all day‼ Much Luck to you regarding your Move, Hope it's on a Nice Block. Just an FYI if you are interested. I Just Directed a Documentary called "Chasing Joy" that shows more of my Life and East New York in the late 80's & 90's. It's Showing on Vimeo now for 8.88 cents. 🙏🏾
@@brittanimarie7568 I Appreciate you Beloved 🙏🏾 💜. Thank you for being A Real one. The Greatest thing anyone can share is their time/Attention. Thank you for sharing yours with me 🙏🏾
I’m from the East, Berriman bt Sutter And belmont, 24 years, but left moved to Virginia, 1990 to 2014. Best place to grow up, you get street smart quick. Stayed away from the crime, island parents now a dentist, thanks for the memories
I definitely remember the TSS shopping center used to rack up on micro machines and hot wheels. I used to go to ps 202 right across the blvd things were crazy then we used to trade crack vials amongst the kids during lunch time 2 blue for 1 red and such not knowing any better of what they really where. Memories
I am from Brooklyn and I remember playing Coco Livio and I didn't grow up to on the NFL I respect where I come from and understanding the difference it is amazing so if he wasn't there maybe you just don't know and it's okay bad good or different the understanding is something amazing
Thank you so much Judith 🙏. I appreciate you checking out my video.. I have a Documentary coming very soon that I just Finished Filming. The neighborhood will definitely be shown. All updates on my Films & Videos will be shown on my Instagram page _brooklynindigo
i was born and raised in east new York in the late forties the fifties and early sixties. it was a rough tough Italian area and you did not come through the area if you were not known. we had our gangs and we had our mafia people in the neighborhood. we all watched out for one another . i lived at bradford street and atlantic avenue and also in an apartment building at New Jersey Avenue and Belmont. that building is gone now . i attended East New York Vocational High School . joined the military after graduation and never looked back, Vietnam Veteran. i have been gone from Brooklyn and New York but i do miss it a lot to this day. good luck everyone, and stay safe.
@@Goldenera95 hi David, i have been gone from East New York since 1963 that's a long time ago but i did learn a lot of life lessons growing up there and i have carried them through my life hang in there brother.
Wow, thanks for sharing your story. Alot of people now don't realize how many Italians lived in this area. I've talked to quite a few olders Italians who remember growing up here in the 60s... they're now in Long Island, New Jersey etc. Neighborhoods change--- I hope that no matter who lives here, we can invest in the area to give folks here opportunities so we can keep improving it bit by bit.
Peace & Love to you Beloved. I appreciate you Tapping into my video and leaving a sincere comment. Much appreciated and felt. Much more to come, I just finished a Documentary
@@RR-ze6lr I live In Boston and no one i work with believes the stories then i refer them to a documentary on Netflix called "The Seven Five" talking about the 75th precinct and they dont know how I'm still alive lol
LOL...that corner store from the "seven five" was on van siclen and Atlantic down the block from me...i try to tell people but they don't understand. Something as simple as if you parked your car crooked in the street the crack heads would think it was stolen n abandoned and would break into it...😅 im 46 now but growing up in ENY was definitely an experience...
@@mannbitesdogblakemannnyc6089 Ok, I remember a big tall muscular bald headed housing worker that worked in the buildings nearest to TSS. He told me about the incident and I think the name Myers came up. I heard of the A-team as well. I think my neighbor's cousin was part of that group.
I grew up in ENY and know the area very well. It may not be the greatest neighborhood in the USA and certainly isn't Heaven on earth. But a heck of a lot of good people came from and live there. Blessings to each and every one of them.
Nice Video... But you can't forget Cypress Hills & Linden Plaza... And Cypress was called the Terrordome since back in the late 80s early 90s. I talk about some of those stories on my Channel. But, salute!! 💪🏾💪🏾
Yo bro , I’m from Brazil …. Always see how sneakers are important for you guys …. Why’s that ? Love your videos man …. Even though we are from different countries I can relate with a few things ….
Peace bro, Thank you for checking out my video. Greatly appreciated 🙏. Sneakers are important for a few reasons. 1 reason is "Looking good is apart of Feeling good". A fresh pair of sneakers and a nice outfit boost a person's confidence level. 2nd reason is Most sneakers bring back childhood memories. It's a way to reminisce and again stay Fresh. I hope you continue to check out my page. I just dropped My Documentary Last month called "Chasing Joy" which is playing now on Vimeo. Check it out
@@pauln8815 Peace brother, I appreciate the genuine Love 🙏. I just added the link here, Its either Above or below this comment.

Lived there 1992 to 1998. I wonder how terrell , shiheim, tyarri and them cat's doing. I remember a fat lady name GG. Summer group's in the summer. I remember method man used to come thru. The summer of 97 onyx came threw. It was popping in the 90 as a kid.
I'm from Williams ave. Houses I'm from Cozien n flatlands Fairfield Tower's E.N.Y early 71'-80'z n 90'z had to b my most learned lessons abt life n real st. tactics to survive by living as a grown man now i no I came in the best era bet that E.N.Y is my birth place
Peace & Love.. I appreciate you checking out my Video... much respect to Bed-Stuy... what block were you from, Patchen ave, Ralph ave or Fulton st?????
That's the A train exit Euclic ave👍🏽👍🏽 I used to live Sutter ave and autumn ave. I loved that neiborhood" The only thing I hated was when the PJ's fight against each other 😞. Black on Black hatred. The brother spoke facts.
grew up in east new york, a few shootouts here and there but it wasnt all bad. Highland park was real nice, some nice looking houses in east new york. Lived across from 218 . Played ball, built ramps out of garbage and jumped our bikes or skateboards..all that fun shit for awhile till we got older
Wasn’t anythng intentional about it. It’s jus where we sat when we were on Hanging the corner. We moved with being asked whenever someone was coming with mail in there hands. Thanks for your comment ❤️
Yes Louis, I know about the Lucchese Crime Family operation in ENY (Taxi Cab stand & Pizza shop from the movie Good Fellas). Thank you for pointing that out. Alot of people don't know that Brownsville in the 30's & 40's was predominantly all Jewish people.
@@brooklynindigoworld9616 I went to grammar school at Our Lady of Loretto which was located on Pacific Street (school) and the church was on Sackman St. The church was built by Italian American immigrants during the turn of the century and designed to mimic the churches in Italy. About 15 years ago, the Diocese decided to consolidate the parishes into one and Our Lady of Presentation would remain standing and OLL would be torn down. There was tremendous outcry, not just from us old timers, but from the people who were living there now. We had protests and when I wrote to the Bishop, instead of pleading based on the past, I tried to convince him on the basis of the beauty of the building. Even if it was no longer a place of worship, the residents wanted it to remain as a possible community center. I pleaded on that basis; why should folks just have projects and housing. Why shouldn't they have a beautiful building to repurpose and maintain. Sadly, it was torn down a few years ago. I haven't lived there for many years, but the neighborhood will always have my heart.
Putnam Avenue I will walk all the way down to Kingston and Throop the catch the C train next. Nostrand Avenue to catch the A train and the last place I return the Brooklyn with Sutter and Rutland Road on the 3 train line
I was raised by the Shepherd Ave, C train station. Later moved over to the Euclid Ave, A train express section. What was the shopping section called again? The Easter Sunday massacre happened near there. I remember there was a huge movie theater on Sutter Avenue. We’d take the bus by Berriman and Sutter, and it would leave you in front of the theater. Many years ago, theater is long gone.

I lived on Autumn Avenue between Stanley and Wortman from 1985 to 1988 and went to PS. 224 the heart of pink houses with all them bad ass kids.... Went to I.S 218 for summer school..... then move to Bradford between Sutter and Blake where at that time sh!t was next level real...... Left there in 1993 and move to Irvington New Jersey and that's another level of hood and real sh!t that I didn't expect.... East New York raised me though! shout out to Pink Houses, Star right City, Liberty Ave, Pitkin Ave, Brownsville....all of BROOKLYN!!!
Yeah I grew up in Newark and in the 80's moving to Irvington or East Orange was a step up in life. But once the 90's hit, Irvington and E.O. got just as bad as Newark with the gangs and shit. And Irvington and E.O. had no projects. I came up in Newark when all the projects were still up. Prince St, Hayes, Scudder, Dayton St, 7th Ave, Lil Bricks, Seth Boyden, Hyatt, Bradley Court, Baxter Terrace, etc. When I started going to Brooklyn in my twenties I felt real comfortable because of my coming up in Brick City. Salute to Brooklyn and my hometown of Newark!

I definitely remember the TSS shopping center used to rack up on micro machines and hot wheels. I used to go to ps 202 right across the blvd things were crazy then we used to trade crack vials amongst the kids during lunch time 2 blue for 1 red and such not knowing any better of what they really where. Memories
I am from Brooklyn and I remember playing Coco Livio and I didn't grow up to on the NFL I respect where I come from and understanding the difference it is amazing so if he wasn't there maybe you just don't know and it's okay bad good or different the understanding is something amazing

Thank you so much Judith 🙏. I appreciate you checking out my video.. I have a Documentary coming very soon that I just Finished Filming. The neighborhood will definitely be shown. All updates on my Films & Videos will be shown on my Instagram page _brooklynindigo
i was born and raised in east new York in the late forties the fifties and early sixties. it was a rough tough Italian area and you did not come through the area if you were not known. we had our gangs and we had our mafia people in the neighborhood. we all watched out for one another . i lived at bradford street and atlantic avenue and also in an apartment building at New Jersey Avenue and Belmont. that building is gone now . i attended East New York Vocational High School . joined the military after graduation and never looked back, Vietnam Veteran. i have been gone from Brooklyn and New York but i do miss it a lot to this day. good luck everyone, and stay safe.
Salute to you. I appreciate you sharing some of your life experiences... Like you, I too attended ENY Transit Tech Vocational
@@Goldenera95 hi David, i have been gone from East New York since 1963 that's a long time ago but i did learn a lot of life lessons growing up there and i have carried them through my life hang in there brother.
Wow, thanks for sharing your story. Alot of people now don't realize how many Italians lived in this area. I've talked to quite a few olders Italians who remember growing up here in the 60s... they're now in Long Island, New Jersey etc. Neighborhoods change--- I hope that no matter who lives here, we can invest in the area to give folks here opportunities so we can keep improving it bit by bit.
As a child, I always went to the Community Center it was so fun. Them were the days
Thank you for supporting the video. Much Love 💪🏾🙏🏾
Loved the intro, the video and narration were also excellent!I subscribed, like to support good quality content, not bs
Peace & Love to you Beloved. I appreciate you Tapping into my video and leaving a sincere comment. Much appreciated and felt. Much more to come, I just finished a Documentary
My aunts used to live on Vermont and Sutter. It was fun in the summertime l.
Salute... I appreciate you checking out the video 🙏🏾
Raised in the East & proud of it
I lived various places in Brooklyn. I looked up some of the rents in your neighborhood on Craigslist they're ridiculous. Enjoyed your video.
Thank you for checking the video out 🙏.. You are right, Rent in Brooklyn as a whole Borough is Ridiculously high 🤦
@@brooklynindigoworld9616 They're even getting too high here in the my little town in upstate New York.
You really dont know how bad the East is until you move out I really dont know how I survived it but I still love it to this day
Made u stronger I remember when I moved out to bushwick and was like this is nice here wow
I thought everyone grew up like we did in ENY until I got out and realized we were lucky to get out.
@@RR-ze6lr I live In Boston and no one i work with believes the stories then i refer them to a documentary on Netflix called "The Seven Five" talking about the 75th precinct and they dont know how I'm still alive lol
LOL...that corner store from the "seven five" was on van siclen and Atlantic down the block from me...i try to tell people but they don't understand. Something as simple as if you parked your car crooked in the street the crack heads would think it was stolen n abandoned and would break into it...😅 im 46 now but growing up in ENY was definitely an experience...
@@RR-ze6lr Ok I was on Vermont and Liberty
Respect. Georgia between Livonia and Dumont will always be part of me.
Salute, I appreciate you checking the video out... #brooklyn 💪
Does anyone remember back in the 70's when the people ran the cops out of the area in Pink Houses because they brutalized a young boy?
DO YOU REMEMBER OFFICER MYERS AND A WHITE COP THEY CALLED COWBOY
@@mannbitesdogblakemannnyc6089 The names are vague. Were they in the 75th?
big facts when the A-team was running the houses
@@N9olan THEY WERE COPS WHO WERE STATIONED IN THE SMALL POLICE STATION IN BUILDING 16
@@mannbitesdogblakemannnyc6089 Ok, I remember a big tall muscular bald headed housing worker that worked in the buildings nearest to TSS. He told me about the incident and I think the name Myers came up. I heard of the A-team as well. I think my neighbor's cousin was part of that group.
DA East in Da House- DANGER....
the east is in the house Oh my gawd....IT'S A LIER
@Christopher Hansen Dont Even write that on my Page- I dont play that....
I grew up in ENY and know the area very well. It may not be the greatest neighborhood in the USA and certainly isn't Heaven on earth. But a heck of a lot of good people came from and live there. Blessings to each and every one of them.
Salute... Thank you for checking out my video.. You are Absolutely right.. Alot of good people were produced by East New York 💪🏾
Nice Video... But you can't forget Cypress Hills & Linden Plaza... And Cypress was called the Terrordome since back in the late 80s early 90s. I talk about some of those stories on my Channel. But, salute!! 💪🏾💪🏾
Taught me to accept everyone!!
Yo bro , I’m from Brazil …. Always see how sneakers are important for you guys …. Why’s that ? Love your videos man …. Even though we are from different countries I can relate with a few things ….
Peace bro, Thank you for checking out my video. Greatly appreciated 🙏. Sneakers are important for a few reasons. 1 reason is "Looking good is apart of Feeling good". A fresh pair of sneakers and a nice outfit boost a person's confidence level.
2nd reason is Most sneakers bring back childhood memories. It's a way to reminisce and again stay Fresh. I hope you continue to check out my page. I just dropped My Documentary Last month called "Chasing Joy" which is playing now on Vimeo. Check it out

Salute fam.... Word, Those young ENY memories 💪🏾
Notice how he intentionally sat on the post office so no one could put their mail in there!
Wasn’t anythng intentional about it. It’s jus where we sat when we were on Hanging the corner. We moved with being asked whenever someone was coming with mail in there hands. Thanks for your comment ❤️

Grew up on Miller and Atlantic i think all I ate was McDonald's on Atlantic and pizzeria on vansiclen...😄..cool video..
Lived at 324 Howard Avenue (Brownsville) and 87 Rockaway Avenue (ENY) in the 50s and 60s.
Much Respect to you 🙏.. Thank you for checking out my video.. You have seen Brooklyn change in so many ways.
Yes Louis, I know about the Lucchese Crime Family operation in ENY (Taxi Cab stand & Pizza shop from the movie Good Fellas). Thank you for pointing that out. Alot of people don't know that Brownsville in the 30's & 40's was predominantly all Jewish people.
@@brooklynindigoworld9616 I went to grammar school at Our Lady of Loretto which was located on Pacific Street (school) and the church was on Sackman St. The church was built by Italian American immigrants during the turn of the century and designed to mimic the churches in Italy. About 15 years ago, the Diocese decided to consolidate the parishes into one and Our Lady of Presentation would remain standing and OLL would be torn down. There was tremendous outcry, not just from us old timers, but from the people who were living there now. We had protests and when I wrote to the Bishop, instead of pleading based on the past, I tried to convince him on the basis of the beauty of the building. Even if it was no longer a place of worship, the residents wanted it to remain as a possible community center. I pleaded on that basis; why should folks just have projects and housing. Why shouldn't they have a beautiful building to repurpose and maintain. Sadly, it was torn down a few years ago. I haven't lived there for many years, but the neighborhood will always have my heart.
dope video son

Lived in that building over the train station wow
It was a news stand and they made bagels Breakfast back in the days.. it looks different now.
I spent the first 28 years of my life in ENY and others parts of BK.
Putnam Avenue I will walk all the way down to Kingston and Throop the catch the C train next. Nostrand Avenue to catch the A train and the last place I return the Brooklyn with Sutter and Rutland Road on the 3 train line
My old neighborhood. I was at the Euclid Ave station on the A not more than a few minutes ago.
I’m bout to pass that in bout 15 minutes
I was raised by the Shepherd Ave, C train station. Later moved over to the Euclid Ave, A train express section. What was the shopping section called again? The Easter Sunday massacre happened near there.
I remember there was a huge movie theater on Sutter Avenue. We’d take the bus by Berriman and Sutter, and it would leave you in front of the theater. Many years ago, theater is long gone.
What year was the movie theater on Sutter???? I don't remember any theater on Sutter avenue..
Hey J, it was called and still is City line
Grew up there! Wouldn't change it!
Is this Regina from Pink Houses???
Wow TSS, those were the days, I lived in Starett city

Best part of that place was the boxing school locates there went there often kept me out of trouble
