    23:25 i wonder why they installed the metal base to stop people from pushing the cube, i remember one time me and my friends were hanging out next to the cube and i told them if you push hard enough, it will start to rotate. none of my friends believed me so i went ahead to push the cube and when it started to rotate, all my friends were amazed and they all tried to push the cube to make it rotate

      the mechanism broke iirc. they recently removed the cube to repair the turning mechanism, so soon it will turn again

    Great tour as usual Tom! My father owned 2 industrial buildings on Bond and Great Jones since the 1940s. My mother sold them in 1975 for only a few hundred thousand dollars. I can only imagine how expensive they would be now.

    Tom should have interviewed the guy who moved into the Astor Place Cube, in order to find affordable (free) housing.
    Or, maybe he got evicted, which would be surprising, because he may have been there long enough to claim "squatters rights"!

    Regarding the term skyscraper here's some trivia: A skyscraper is usually thought of as 40 stories or higher. A high-rise some say can be as low as 12 stories but some say it has to be 20 stories and above. A mid-rise is over 5 stories, and a low-rise is up to 4 stories. Other sources say a low-rise could be up to 6 stories and a mid-rise could be 7-19. So which is it? lol

    Ok, I have two NYC questions (unrelated to this video): 1. Why are there boulders on 10th Avenue down by the High Line? They are on the sidewalk, along by the curb. At least two of them. They look placed there, but also made to look like they just "grew out of the ground" there. 2. Do you know anything about the grave of "The Lost Boy" in the Morningside Heights area? (Or near that area.). My MIL mentioned it to me and I'd never heard of him before. Thanks, in advance!

    • @ssoomee

      I think I can answer your second question: you’re referring the monument of the Aimiable Child, located at W124th St and Riverside Drive. It’s a marble memorial surrounded by a metal fence. You can read more about it in this Wikipedia article: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amiable_Child_Monument

    I never knew MJ's song was sung "your butt is mine" I thought it was your world is mine or something, not butt. funny that prince declined for that word. I had no clue how old these places were in nyc. I wonder how long America will last as an empire or a nation. I think 336 is the median for an empire and we started in 1776 so...but I do wonder who will take over this land and develop or destroy what of it, like they did the parthenon in Athens in ancient times.

    2:44 Seabury Tredwell's great-great-great- great-great grandfather was Thomas Tredwell.
    Thomas. You're a Thomas. What a coincidence. Can't make this stuff up.
    (Seabury was the family name of Elizabeth Seabury the Tredwells married into.)
    17:40 57 Great Jones Street includes a hoity-toity referral only Japanese Restaurant. Guess if you can afford a Basquiat someone will sponsor you. Upstairs apartment goes for $5,400 per month ($64,800 a year) so, yea, Tom was darn close.
    Btw, the electrolytes in G*torade could still be recyclable so chilled in your $10,000/mo. apartment wine cooler guests won't be able to tell the difference between rebottled and any other sportz energy drink.

  • @vincentgoupil180
    @vincentgoupil180 Před rokem +1

    Btw
    Some of the former industrial buildings around that area were intended to be developed into affordable working class housing ...
    except the Artists in Residence (AIR) squatters prevented developers from investing in the buildings for fear of legal issues with the "artists" who later bought the buildings they were in for pennies on the dollar retiring well off.
    It was the wannabe self-proclaimed "artists" who attracted and invited rich upper Manhattan galleries to the areas who in turn attracted other rich residents the neighborhoods.
    So, probably a myth "artists" were good for the area just the opposite. The working poor were fingered again.
