    I’m from South Jamaica (lived in South Ozone Park and now I live in Springfield Gardens near the Conduit and JFK) and I can’t count how many times I been to the ave. I just wish people knew more about Jamaica than just collie block and Jamaica station. The former town of Jamaica Queens is massive. Richmond Hill, South Richmond Hill, South Ozone Park, Jamaica, Hollis, South Jamaica, Springfield Gardens, Laurelton, Queens Village, Rochdale Village, Cedar Manor Houses, Bricktown and Rosedale are all considered “Jamaica Queens”. Almost every neighborhood I mentioned outside of Jamaica and parts of Springfield and Rosedale (mainly the “town” on 147th avenue and the area near JFK and the Conduit) is residential. Jamaica Queens is basically its own city within NYC that’s 100% West Indian and Hispanic. It used to be the burbs before white flight and urban development. A lot of racists will say we ruined the community but the truth is while they keep taking away our resources, we keep fighting. Crime has plummeted, parks are getting reformed, brand new duplexes and condos are being built, and best of all, we have never gentrified. It can get rough over here sometimes, but like all of NYC since 2013 (besides the BX I guess) it’s relatively safe over here. Springfield Gardens Rosedale and South Ozone Park is where I spent most of my time. I hope this wasn’t too long. Nice video btw!

      You’re definitely a New Yorker, we have a lot to say..bless your heart. We’re actually neighbors I’m a homeowner here in Springfield Gardens, I’m 50+, I lived and shopped in downtown Jamaica many years ago. Yes, it has changed drastically over the years..you can blame high rent you can blame unemployment you can blame homelessness and you can without a doubt blame COVID. Millions, and thousands of New Yorkers have died resulting in a ghost town appeal. Fortunately Jamaica is surviving the calamity that we have faced. We need more gentrification, more resources available for the lower and middle hardworking everyday people that live, raise their families and pay taxes here. We should be able to leave our homes, work shop play feel safe and enjoy the qualities of life. As long as we stand for each other, we may not have it all but together we have everything. Stay well 🌺

      It is not 100 percent West Indian and Hispanic, although many immigrants have moved here. In the 1960s, it was populated by Black American middle-class families. Two cars in the driveway, backyard cookouts, families who wanted the best for their kids. My parents bought a home on North Conduit in Springfield Gardens in 1965. Crime, drugs, and violence werr not rampant the way they are now. The whole 114 area was like a small town. We built one of the most powerful political machines in the nation. Black doctors, teachers, nurses, lawyers lived side by side with firemen and sanitation workers. People looked out for each other. Most of us moved away after college, and a significant number migrated to Atlanta, N.C., and Florida. African-Americans created this community. Don't come along and credit West Indians and Hispanics.

      @@reynaelena7571 I don’t know why you came outta nowhere with 3iq xenophobia but the area not being Hispanic and West Indian before Hispanic and West Indian immigration does not change what I said Lmao. You really came here and said it can’t be 100% Hispanic and West Indian TODAY because decades ago it wasn’t. You’re unbelievable. And nice job blaming us for crime. I hope you don’t live here anymore because people like you make the city worse. Go take this foundational black American bs to Georgia or something weirdo😭
      Edit: WE BUILT THIS COMMUNITY. This place has been 100% West Indian and Hispanic since y’all ran away. If it wasn’t for us Jamaica would be gentrified. Crime increased all over America in the 70s so saying “we had less crime in the 60s” is purposefully disingenuous. And those cities you named with all you African Americans commit way more crime than us. I never understand why AAs feel the need to hate on other black Americans just because we’re first or second generation. You want to take credit for all the good and blame us for all the bad. All the guns that are in the city come from the South. Did you know that? Did you know that the Supreme Team was mostly African American? The demographic change happened in the 90s. You’re blaming us for a problem that y’all created. Literally created a bunch of gangs and drug rings and then ran away to the south. Miss me with this bs.

    Very interesting video. I grew up walking this same area but I remember it when the “el” (the elevated train tracks for the F train) kept that part of Jamaica Avenue perpetually in the shade. Different stores were there in the ‘60’s too: Gertz (a 6 floor department store) and Woolworth’s on the north side, and Mays a little bit further east.

    • @benjaminsmith2287
      @benjaminsmith2287 2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Wasn't the F, it was the J. The F is underground on Hillside along with, at that time, the E. Now the E is on Archer while the F is still on Hillside. I think it was called the QJ at the time. I remember Mays, Macy's, Gertz, a sports store Modell's but also called Davega, and some more. The bus terminal is still there. I used to like to get donuts there. I'm from Saint Albans and would take the 3A bus (now called Q83) or the Q4 bus to Jamaica Av or to the 169th or Parson's Av. subway station for the E and F. I only the Jamaica Av. el when going straight to Brooklyn,.

      @@benjaminsmith2287 Yes, you’re right! I do remember the E and F trains being together! Such a long time ago, in the ‘60’s and ‘70’s when I used to be there all the time. Took the Q6 bus on Rockaway everywhere, as that was the only public transportation near me. Transferred to the Q7 by Baisley Park to get to John Adams High School, or took the Q6 to get one of the “red busses” to get into Queens Village. (I have no memory of what bus it was anymore!). Or, took the Q6 into Jamaica & walked up to Hillside to catch an orange bus up to Flushing to get to Queens College, and later, to catch the #7 train to get into the city. Spent many, many hours on public transportation. Now I’d rather drive out to the island! I remember when Gertz was closing their Jamaica store: I bought the start of my Franciscan stoneware collection (Red Apple pattern) that I still love to this day.

    • @benjaminsmith2287
      @benjaminsmith2287 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@daralinthwaite2925 I believe the Q6 was a Green Line bus. They were later purchased by the MTA. I used to take the Q3A, now called the Q83, and one of them went to Queens Village. Sometimes I'd take the LIRR from Queens Village if going out to Long Island.
      I haven't been on Jamaica Av. in a long time. I would just go to the Archer Av. E train stop and take a bus from there. Queens is a very diverse and interesting borough. However, I try not to drive in NYC. I'm in NJ now but when I go to NYC, I still take public transportation. However, I'm not happy with the crime situation on the subways now and only take them when absolutely necessary.

I’ve seen the major transformation that has economically benefited the area, many familiar landmarks are gone but newer businesses are up and thriving. With all the life and business changes it’s with out a doubt a good thing to see the light is still shining for Downtown Jamaica.

    Jamaica, Queens is a fairly interesting place. They’re right next to Flushing, Queens by bus and JFK is right there. However, the local fish markets there and outside farmer markets are great. There’s so many new developments around there. So many new affordable stores. It’s kind of awesome.

    • @bxrokk
      @bxrokk 2 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      Actually, it's a low income cess pool that resembles a flea market. The farmer's markets look like something out of a third world country. The "affordable" stores sell inferior goods. The new developments look out f place; the neighborhoods nor the culture support the aesthetics. The drug addicts congregate on every corner with their pushers nearby, the general look of despair on everyone's face is downright depressing, and the infrastructure only adds to the feeling of disgust the entire area generates. I lived out there for many years. I literally HATE it!
