- Today I take a walk down Dry Harbor Road in Middle Village, Queens, NY. Dry Harbor road (originally spelled Dry Harbour) is one of the oldest roads in Queens, NY, having been created as a wagon path in the late 1700s. The wagon path had replaced an earlier trail. Unlike the present day where Dry Harbor stops at Myrtle Ave, the original path would extend all the way unto Jamaica Ave.

Pleasant day for a walk and the neighborhood looks nice, enjoyed exploring middle village with you today Rich!
Thanks for watching, I appreciate it.
Interesting as always! Thanks Richard.
Just some extra footage in-between the stories ;)
Looks peaceful and quiet, very nice.
Thanks Mick! Not the normal areas that I visit.
Grew up in Middle Village during the 50's and 60's. Had my paper route in Ridgewood and attended elementary school and JHS 73 in Maspeth. Thanks for the tour.
And that is why I make the videos, for people who used to live here. It is why I went to Sunnyside the other week to get some different footage. I need to do more in Middle Village though.
As always, endlessly fascinating, Richard! So much history there....and you seem to know it so well! THANKS so very much for sharing with us! 🙂👍
Well I'll be honest, whenever I visit somewhere I study ahead of time. So it isn't that I know the history, but I certainly learn about it before sharing it :)
@@richardarthur-nycstories Well, that makes sense. You wouldn't know about all the background info in regards to your sites without reading up on them first. But you certainly do a "bang up" job or research each time! Keep up the good work, Fab Friend! 👍🤓
Good stuff Richard, braw wee donder 😊 Always love to see middle village, looks like a good day for it!
Yeah this was my first trip to Middle Village so it was nice to see the area.
Middle Village is such a nice area of Queens. Loved seeing it again as I used to live in Maspeth and then Glendale and would drive to Middle Village and take a walk to the "M" train. I miss it!
That's funny, I used to live in Glendale and now live in Maspeth, lol. Actually I said in the video that I barely go to Middle Village, but I forgot about the Metropolitan Ave 'M' train, I go to that station often of course.
lovely, its a very peaceful walk.
I enjoyed that! Such a lovely day and a very pleasant area. Looking closely it’s just little things like the grassed edges to the streets - mown nicely too. The width of the road, the lack of traffic,the trees,that feeling of space & the shops- liked the look of ‘The Patisserie’. It’s so different to your usual areas of Maspeth & Bushwick. ( Just watched The Derby -my horse won - not good odds though - was the favourite!- the commentator said it was ‘ positively Baltic there y’day’ & to be honest it’s just the same today - had to put the fire on!)
Yeah, this is very much a middle class area. No riffraff in these parts other than transplanted Brits filming, lol. I actually kept going after I stopped the video, but I have learned that anything over 8-10 minutes and the viewers start to leave anyway, so I kept it to 8 minutes and I will save the remaining 6 minutes for later. In the remaining footage I walk alongside the Mafia graveyard so the story will stand alone pretty well.
It's fascinating to think that many of our modern roads like this one began as wagon trails. Makes you wonder what someone from that time would think of it if they could see it now! Looks like it was a very pleasant day out for a walk and a pretty decent looking neighborhood for a stroll, not like some of the shall we say grittier places you sometimes film in. Get as much in the can as you're able before the heat sets in, right?
Those will actually be easy stories for me to tell if I ever run out of footage, there are half a dozen roads in my neighborhood that were former Native American trails or wagon paths. As it stands right now I have enough footage to post 5 shorts a week and a full Saturday video each week until the middle of September, I've done well the last few weeks :) Pretty much all of the footage was filmed in nicer areas like this one. Once the winter comes around I will get back to the gritty areas :)
Looks like a very manicured area.. A totally different world from say, like Wyckoff and Myrtle in Bushwick..
It's almost like a different world, isn't it? I broke this video up into two, in the second half I talk about the Gangsters Graveyard as I walk alongside St. John. Plus, the Roman Catholic church opposite has been there since 1860. Not the building itself, just the land that it sits on. It was donated by the Pullis Farm.
