Man that road always got flooded

Proud to be from there! A west-ender all the way. My first rock band was called L.B.L.I.

I live on the beach my hole life miss some of others old places......

It's a shame I miss Long Beach back in the 50's I remember my dad would take me to the rides and I remember riding the ponies

Nicely done. Thank you.

My grandparents and mom and dad grew up in LB

I was born (1955) in LB and grew up there. I remember playing with those machine guns in front of city hall and the big concrete WW2 gun tower overlooking the ocean

Wow I watched this video to see if I remembered snake rd from the 90s…and I do! Lol 😂

In the early 1970s my friends and I used to ride our bikes on that road to get to Rockaway Beach. Crazy.

What time did this video start from ?

I was raised in Long Beach in the middle of town and I have fond memories of the beach boardwalk and the bay. Sad to say the middle of town is the crux of urban issues that still exist. I grew up on East Pine street a family of five boys and a two parent household. Nice video.

Lemme get 2 slices and a fruit punch

#Thesupremestudy thinks this is EPIC

This must be down past the curve after 147th.

What a beautiful video. I grew up on the Bob Jones canal side of Curley St., the last street of the canals before Lido Beach.

Wonderful video. I grew up in LB and I can remember that whale washing up on the beach!

Developers Destroyed this place It is only for wealthy unless you want to waste your money.

I LOVE LONG BEACH I WISH I COULD LIVE THERE

I swear I saw myself in this video I’m not even joking

হুবহু পতেঙ্গা র‌‌ ‌মতো সেজেছে।

Thanks for the time lapse ride

I love going here

All my medical records where destroyed at Long Beach Medical Center hospital.

Love it!!

I counted four markers in the historical district. The plaques are missing from two of them. When will they be replaced?

Snake Road !!!..a lot of bodies used to be up in there...lol Crime Sydnicate..lol

Yes but you are leaving out a big chunk of long beach history , i had lived in the old city in the years prior to the gentrification when the city was going through some of its toughest times , lets begin with the ware housing of psychiatric patients by the state of New York into the old x luxury hotel buildings right off of the boardwalk and also into dilapidated single room occupancy apartment buildings on east Broadway a very concerning issue for the city in the 70's . There was also a huge elderly population living in apartment buildings directly off of the boardwalk during the mid to late 1970's, a multicultural working class population had lived in buildings on the west end who were forced to evacuate there apartments under shady circumstances during the early 1980's. I had lived at 302 east Broadway at the time and i can still remember hearing loud sirens of the fire trucks speeding down east Broadway heading west almost nightly, apartment buildings were burning some say set by greedy landlords hoping to force lower income tenants out . The old amusement park was certainly a center of boardwalk life for decades along with the ice cream stand and old penny arcades that had stood right before the approach to the old king David hotel . I was a street photographer at the time and i had captured many portraits of people living in long beach from 1978-1982 I don't think that they should be forgotten , the very elderly that would sit row upon row on benches lining the boardwalk that i would talk to before taking there portraits, they all had an interesting story to tell, one man that i would always see sitting on a boardwalk bench with his small poodle on his lap was actually a world war 1 veteran. The mental patients were a sad sight to see wondering incoherently around the boardwalk forgotten by the world there was a lot of loneliness and despair in both groups. I remember the wide range of street life around the penny arcades that is where all of the action was for me as a street photographer , there was also an Hasidic Jewish presence on the west end of the boardwalk that is still there some forty years later . The old city was an intensive place filled with every aspect of human life back in those times and it would be very sad if i were the only one that had attempted to document this on film.

But now I’m in fifth grade plus THEY HAD A BUTTERFLY GARDEN

I don’t think I was even born yet

My beautiful school

Growing up in Long Beach and now living in Point Lookout, I can say we that live on this barrier beach, are all Strong Beach people.

Looks the same as 80's when i was young and the 90's word.....five town changed .....

benches are further away from the rails... why?

it was just a matter of time! and it's not global warming. lots of erosion etc. marshes too with the beach. and just the right storm. the new boardwalk blocked with a bulkhead and not a pass through? we'll see? at least we as americans brought the beach back!. nice!

3:31 I live in that building. Avalon Towers.

Nice day in LB.

never seen such horror in Rockaway Beach since 1953

INDIA WHERE R YOU.

My friend Marilyn and myself volunteered to help take the the children to enjoy a day at the beach. They had such a good time. It was so depressing to see them get back in the busses to leave and we would never see them again.

You beat me to the punch. I too had the idea to fly over Beech Street. Darn... Lol What type of drone u have?

Great video

I was born in 1968 at long beach memorial hospital.Great Job with your videos.....Rich Grohs
