My entire childhood in playland. Hopping trains to times square just to spend a few quarters

This was when Times Square was fun!

Whats the name of the song that starts at 2:46 please!!!

This is great

Wild seeing Playland again, that was my hangout in the 90s when I played hooky from school. There was also the Broadway Arcade up the street, may they both Rest In Peace.

Back when NYC was GOOD and REAL!!!!

Инсайды это лютая грязь, люди едут на свою тупую работу и еще грязь внутри, я люблю тэги только с наружи или на стенах, но в инсайде это фигня полная…

Hello Steven! Quick question. How can I view this longer documentary and, if someone is working on a video of their own, is it alright by you if parts of your video are shown? Anything shown, your channel be credited of course, directing viewers to your channel and the full documentary. Not for my channel but a much bigger one. Just wanted to check! If not, totally understandable! Thank you for your time! You have a great channel .

I remember Times Square W 42nd St NYC in the 80s. I was a kid and me, my brother and my mom had to drive down there to pick up my sister when she was addicted to drugs and drive back to Jamaica Queens NY 😩

hi. I would like to use some of your footage can you contact me at your earliest convenience to discuss the possibility please. thank you

3:04 Go home train conductor. You're drunk!

Song ???

Spent alot of time and money at Playland.

Это просто шедевр жаль что сейчас такое редко встречается...

Assomilla il treno della linea B 🤣

What a dirty city. Has a vibe. Although way safer now, it is too sterile

My home.

RIP DEZ at the 35 second mark.

Graffiti is not cool and graffiti is ugly I hate the Graffiti I want clean train

Come to the ghetto back then 😁😈

I enjoy your documentary on Coney Island and using the tech of that time too, wow!!!!! Nice job.

So beautiful.

Does anyone know the song playing at 10:39 please been trying to find it for a long time!!!

5:47 it's interesting that the lady being interviewed is not shown, but rather Snow Leopards; why are CRITICALLY ENDANGERED, the lady is talking about being poor while Snow Leopards themselves are being driven off the planet too, due to over hunting, habitat encroachment, ect

Best clips of that era. Thank you! The birth of the urban scene.

Honestly one of the reasons i would wish to live in the 1980's

Transfer the money and power to narcissists with college educations and suits. Clean the area up and make it look sanitized and feel safe. Meanwhile, keep the same vices going underground, now controlled by the corporate narcissists, sociopaths, psychopaths and Americans will go on with their daily lives and not ask a single question...until it hits too close to home! And that's how narcissists, sociopaths, psychopaths do it folks!

That clown mask was nice and creepy

When the Westies ruled hell's kitchen.

The 1980s in NYC toilet bowl of hookers, pimps, pushers, perverts, deranged serial killers, rapists, aids, crack heads, bums, the 5 crime family's, transvestites. Welcome to the big apple people. 👊

I miss the sleaze.

I truly miss the days of going to arcades and actually using my skills to prolong entertainment while meeting new folks. Arcades were easy, safe, secure places where you met and hook up with anyone and since everyone has similar hobbies the hook ups were easy and friendly. Today it is hard to find people who you can date, because the arcades and places like them are long gone and there aren't any safe, secure environments anymore. Most environments we have now are dangerous and if you are alone it can end badly, especially with the sociopaths who can't take rejection well. 😢 The 1980s and 90s were great decades in finding sane, good people.

What is the classical song in this video? Graffiti is the most important modern art movement
