So thankful you took that walk.. brought back so many memories.. I mentioned before that was my neighborhood during the 50s - 70..The Hunts Point area was really spooky and forbidden for me when I was a teenager.. then it was a adventure during the 70s.. There was a bar / grill at the end of the residential part of Hunts Points .. the music and the food was on Point! The owner was from Spain.. keep going down you will find “ The Wedge” strip bar.. It’s probably still there..bar/ at the stathouse.. Bruckner and Hunts Point.. Love the walk on Southern Blvd.. Surprisingly is being kept clean! Thank You .. So many Memories! 👏🥰👏
Kind of sad so many tired and burnt out people these days. To think just a few years ago in 2018-2015 people used to walk around full of youthful energy and looking well dressed in clothes that was not even that expensive. Now it's like no one cares as they walk around in their house clothes in the street hanging out or on their way to work looking disheveled, Reflects alot on the city leadership when its citizens seem so demoralized. Feels like am having a flashback of the 1980's. Its going to take ten or more years to even get anywhere near it was like in the mid 1990's to 2016. Went to Florida two years ago it was so invigorating to the spirit as complete strangers would be greeting me with a smile and everything radiated a positive vibe. As soon as i got off the plane in New York and hit the streets to the subway i could feel that energy sapping drain. Now i see what they mean in those old horror books by Poe and Lovecraft where they talk about happiness draining depression lingering over an area. Still New Yorkers are tough and i have learned in my 50 plus years of living here things come in cycles. Hopefully many of us will see a bit of our positive past return along with the good things waiting for the generations growing up in these times just like we grew up in rough times in the 1970's. Thanks for the great walk as always and have a fun safe Halloween ☕
i worked in hunts point for 2 years while attending college at a metro pcs part time 2:04 there was a 99 cent discount store across the street and a health center the building was all white....next door to the metro pcs was a Dominican hair salon. Me being from a small town from down south was totally different for me but i miss it
I actually witnessed that whole stretch with graffiti which used to be stores burn down. I used to date a chick on Seneca Ave. This reminds me of The Goat. An old low budget strip joint at the end of HP Ave. Halfway down was The Wedge, another strip spot where the road separates. Wow! I've been around for minute.
You taking it way back to the 70’s and 80’s when The Bronx used to be nothing but burnt down abandoned buildings. Yes I’ve been to just about all the strip clubs in The Bronx lol.
I give it up to some of the Bro's going to work & school doing something with yall life that's what I like to see. Keep it up homie no sitting on beach chairs progression!!
I went ahead of you to write a comment.. Love the fact that you walked on 163rd St to Intervale Ave.. My last residence was on Kelly Street… AKA Banana Kelly.. I could relate to going up the stairs on that Intervale Station.. It was deadly..😂😂.. Yet safer than the automatic stairs.. 😂
My Band played at the Mark 4 Lounge in Hunts Point back in the 70s..a few times....had to be alert at all times...yep!!....hookers and pimps and criminals galore! But strangely it was fun!!..I was a youngun then...lol!
The Point is wilder now than it was in 70s and 80s. Because these kids have access to firepower that wasn't available back then for the most part. Even though the Point is cleaner than back in the day, it's worse because of gangs and firepower
Why? The Bronx has recovered massively compared to the old days. It’s actually not bad and there’s lots nice restaurants. If you want to see a bad city, the ones in the south and Midwest are terrible ones where they are basically ghost towns due to population decline
Young people take a good look this is where you end up when you don't plan future. Don't have kids before your time once you're on welfare you're trapped , stay focused a legal path that's going to get you out of places like that.
Well the rent does start at $3000 a month and going by statistics, white folks have the highest rates on welfare. I’ll admit, the crimes in that area (I grew up there) is off the hook but there are people out there doing much better than you are. Looks dead to me now cause everyone’s gone. It will be gentrified.
It’s dead out there now. Will soon be gentrified. Rent goes from 3Gs and up. A whole lot of those small folks out there are doing much better than you are.
Don't look no rougher than 5th Ward,South Park,2nd Ward,3rd Ward,4th Ward,South Acres,SunnySide,Trinity Gardens,Acres Home In Houston Tx.....No Difference At Ya,We Jus Ain't No Island...
My friend used to date a gorgeous latino girl from Hunts Point who had nice athletic thighs and always wore tights. She really turned heads. They broke up because my friend caught her cheating.
Nah bruh, it’s not because there’s people of color. This is Sthrn Blvd, the heart of Hunts Point. That shopping district is not so packed for a reason. People walk those streets in pain from losing a loved one over gun violence. You won’t catch thugs targeting that shopping area because everyone’s mom or sister goes there, it’s a respect thing. Thugs lay low key in the cuts. Car theft and home robberies is also not a thing there, everyone knows each other. You gotta walk a straight line in Hunts Point, one little slip up and your life is taken.
I think I have PTSD from living in NYC for 22 years. I get anxiety watching these videos. Even thought there’s people all around, everyone is so alone and struggling just to survive. NYC is a depressing place, man.
Speak for yourself. Not everyone in ny is alone and depressed. I left Atlanta and moved back to ny and I love it. In Atlanta I was alone and depressed.
I’m 55 years old. Born and raised in Washington Heights. Moved to The Bronx in 1989. Loved living in NYC. But you know how it is. As you get older your priorities change. Left New York in 2021 and moved to Florida. Love my retirement life now 🙏🏾
I started there. Doing great with success now. Live in Hoboken, NJ. If you can make it in NY, you can make it anywhere. Nothing and no one can stand in my way now.
@they.fw.jayden correct me if I'm wrong but isn't all the new buildings just by the draw bridge in the south Bronx? I was in some of the south Bronx weeks back by Paterson projects surrounding area I didn't feel the gentrification
@@they.fw.jayden I saw NY news media give like 5 reasons gentrification in the Bronx is slow compared to Brooklyn, Manhattan; Brownsville got lots of public housing but a lot of good friendly people live there
Dam the way those New York people talk about the South being raggedy/country it looks like the East Coast/West Coast is torn up from the floor/ground up the South may be full of green/trees and bushes but it dam show don't look like a third world country
Great video! I grew up in the area 1968- 1984. Many good memories.
Excellent video! Grew up there 1961 to 1973. Got out of there quickly when things got heated.

0:20 Future Metro North New Haven Line Hunts Point Station 🚅🚅
The "Point" 🔥🔥🔥
Back in the 70's I was told not to walk down Hunts Point Ave at 1 am to the subway from Hunts Point Market since it was dangerous.
My Band played at the Mark 4 Lounge in Hunts Point back in the 70s..a few times....had to be alert at all times...yep!!....hookers and pimps and criminals galore! But strangely it was fun!!..I was a youngun then...lol!

@@HarlemBornBronxBredlol a simple google search will show that this statement is very incorrect
Amazing video! Grew up there during the 50s. The change is astonishing.
3:08 PLEASE WHAT’s THE SONG??
All I See Here Is Regular People Going About There Day......😊
I thought it was fucced in the Bronx,It Ain't That Bad At All From A Houston Tx View...
Everyone who works in Da X walked through that path I did it for seven years
I want everyone to grasp the fact that this is all in broad daylight 🤣🤣
And to think that the USA is spending billions$ in aircraft carriers, planes and tanks to defend all this! It makes one cry...

You are obviously Nat a native New Yorker…

You probably never been to the Boogie Down Bronx.
Everyone out here is a loser to you?

It’s dead out there now. Will soon be gentrified. Rent goes from 3Gs and up. A whole lot of those small folks out there are doing much better than you are.
3:08 What’s the song?
I enjoy these videos. Times Square and Hudson Yards get boring after a while.
Streets is so dirty where is Sanitation? Paying high ass Rent where is the tax money going to? Unreal! Smh....
More than like the city probably cut that particular service.
plenty of retail stores fast food on every corner weed shops pick up a girl on the way home life is great in the bronx 😂🤣😅🤣😂😂
Fantasy
Bronx is a beautiful place BX I lived there for 2 years 164 & 3rd
@@hasanmuhammad3916if you think that's beautiful where did you live before? I lived in the Bronx for 42 years.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Don't look no rougher than 5th Ward,South Park,2nd Ward,3rd Ward,4th Ward,South Acres,SunnySide,Trinity Gardens,Acres Home In Houston Tx.....No Difference At Ya,We Jus Ain't No Island...
💯🔥💯
Should've made a right on lafayette instead of left.
The streets of downtown san francisco are stinkier, filthier and rougher
Lol why did you add that women on thumbnail lol she not even in the video🤣
My friend used to date a gorgeous latino girl from Hunts Point who had nice athletic thighs and always wore tights. She really turned heads. They broke up because my friend caught her cheating.
1:36 is very 😷🤢 lol
No more American cars anymore, all foreign. What happened? Why do the streets look so filthy? Not somewhere I’d want to live.
The entire city is filthy. Nobody to blame but the people who live there…
Unfortunately They don't listen because they know it all....
All I see is people minding their own business. Is it considered a “rough area” because the majority of inhabitants are black and brown in skin color?
Nah bruh, it’s not because there’s people of color. This is Sthrn Blvd, the heart of Hunts Point. That shopping district is not so packed for a reason.

1:10 exposing urself
There are worst places to live than this.
There are a lot of people damaged by love there.
I am so grateful I did not start life in a megacity.
I started there. Doing great with success now. Live in Hoboken, NJ. If you can make it in NY, you can make it anywhere. Nothing and no one can stand in my way now.
People keep saying Hunts point is safe now ,gentrification
hunts point def not been gentrified there and the ville is two places I Would Never step foot in
@they.fw.jayden ok thanks for the info, I guess the media 🧢 saying Hunts point, Mott Haven south Bronx gentrified, yes Brownsville isn't gentrified
@@JasonEdwards12 they havent gotten to hunts but ik they’re trying to gentrify south bronx i seen mad new buildings there
@they.fw.jayden correct me if I'm wrong but isn't all the new buildings just by the draw bridge in the south Bronx? I was in some of the south Bronx weeks back by Paterson projects surrounding area I didn't feel the gentrification

Place is mess , no one cares!!!!
It is and it surely seems that way…
Harris voters.
Harris voters are more middle class and rich. Can’t say that about Trump voters.
whatever that means
That was lame. You’re corny
just look at all animals that live there
If you don't ®eside in the BX , then that comment doesn't apply .
You mean, the one's with 2 feets or 4 feets?
I ain't gonna lie, NY looks soft
The Bronx is still official
Only one way to find out...also GROW UP😮
Dam the way those New York people talk about the South being raggedy/country it looks like the East Coast/West Coast is torn up from the floor/ground up the South may be full of green/trees and bushes but it dam show don't look like a third world country
And the whole truth is ....this is tv ..or entertainment....they always miss the elephants
There are a few nice neighborhoods in The Bronx that do not look like this.
A zoo
You went around me whole neighborhood and end it - on my block….
163 / Intervale ave….
