Regarding your comment about how great Irish-American people are ~ I absolutely DISAGREE. I worked along with them at my job. Many were mean-spirited and totally unchristian. Their personalities would change when certain things "did not go their way". Enough said............

I know some old Irish dudes that grew up there. They said there was a lot of family dysfunction, violence, and alcholism. There was a bar on every corner. A friend of mine said he witnessed two guys fighting on Seaman Avenue, one stabbed the other on his car. The guy died!

We lived in kingsbridge marble hill back then that was a little slice of Ireland. ☘️went to St. John’s loved growin up there. Got lots of friends from Inwood and the Boigie down BX down here in Florida. Always talkin about the ole neighborhood. Loved what the priest said at the end.

It was very brave of so many Irish to have made the journey to America to start new lives, I bet some of them must have missed Ireland as big cities like New York don't quite have the atmosphere or community spirit as many towns and villages in Ireland do.

Ireland is also now being swallowed up by "Immigrants" that are being intentionally planted there by the U.N. and certain NGO's to change the natural demographic of the British Isles including Ireland, Scotland and Wales and even the Scandinavian Lands of Sweden, Finland, Norway and Denmark with people being led to believe that it's just some small scale Social Experiment when there's really a Lot more to it than that. And this is in no way temporary or small in scale but a very Dangerous and malevolent plan to destroy the concept of sovereignty in Every Country and none more so than those that built themselves up to what would be the beginning of Western Civilization such as the countries of Western Europe that had begun to break away from the Roman Empire as it began to self-destruct from within the Mediterranean Basin with the same destructive concept that has formed the European Union and is being forced on other countries unwilling to surrender their sovereignty and self-determination. It was the Roman Empire that stretched itself too thin and began losing control of the Empire when other countries and their cultures either not able to or unwilling to assimilate began being hostile to the point of invading parts of the Empire and soldiers unwilling to defend more and more territories till it all began unvaveling. At present, what could the Irish see as a benefit to themselves to be taking in so-called "Refugees" that were created by other external interests creating Dictatorships and then supplying weapons to militaries formed because of religious differences and intolerance in countries of a Continent as Huge as Africa and shipping those from Africa and other places into a small Island by comparison to Africa with incompatible cultures, traditions and languages if not for purposes that could Only be malevolent and Dangerous to the natural inhabitants and demographic of Ireland or Scotland, Wales and even England and on to France, Germany etc, etc. This is Not going to End Well no matter how and what way it's looked at and the people of Europe and now America as of May 2023 are going to have to Fight sooner or later and the sooner the better like Right Damned Now!!!

Pretty fascinating. I've been studying demographics and social change in cities for years, and one thing is certain, any neighborhood that's primarily made up of apartment buildings is inherently transient. Unless you’re wealthy, apartment living is a very temporary thing, at least in the USA.

Some of those shops were still around when I was a kid, My father was one of the few Latinos living in the area, he moved to a building in Arden street in 1962, I was born late 70's and fondly remember my Irish, Jewish and German neighbors, most of them were already elderly and their children had moved on.

Two years late to this comment but I’ve been doing research on demographic transitions within Northern NYC. I don’t think older Dominicans would be surprised since they were there, but the younger generation would most likely be shocked to hear. Yet, there are still pockets of Irish communities in the Bronx.

I grew up on Post Ave and was 9 years old in 1968. What a great thing to watch. It brought back fond memories as they drove around in the convertible seeing the stores I remember as a kid. However, we went to Saint Jude's Church and school. Does anybody remember the Saint Jude's Bazaar? That would have been something worth mentioning. Nonetheless, I really enjoyed this and will save it in order to watch again and or send to friends and family. Keith McAleer

I grew up on Wadsworth Ave and 191Street and I remember the St Jude's Bazaar. The parents of one of my school buddies from St. Elizabeth's School won a car at the bazaar in 1972 but she had never driven a car in her life. I think Taggart's made out on the deal. Our parents made many Sunday trips to Gaelic Park. I even went to several wedding ceremonies at Good Shepherd as a kid, Moved away from WaHi in 1973 as the nabe was dangerous and run-down Last time I visited was in 2007 and I showed my wife The Cloisters and Ft Tryon Park and where I grew up. We drove up Snake Hill and when we arrived at my apartment building she was so freaked out over the ghetto-ness that she would not get out of the car. Some good memories of the old days but I am content these days in Georgia.

Steve Trynosky here. Using the wife's account. Interesting to see how many predictions they got right and how many wrong. Sort of disagree with some of what the young Fordham dude had to say. Dyckman Public Housing was there since the 1950's. They also never anticipated two things, the diaspora of Irish brought about by the first non-white face moving into the building which happened OVERNIGHT. East of Broadway changed so fast, I was there in '73 nor the Dominican, not Puerto Rican, not black, takeover. Here we are some 50 years later and the neighborhood is now being changed yet again. The Irish had their run, then Dominicans now its the Yuppies who have priced everybody except themselves out of the neighborhood! My old apartment now sells for $ 550,000 plus a $ 800 per month "maintenance" fee. Be interesting to see what the next iteration will look like. Having grown up in the "heights" then living or working in Inwood for 11 years, us, non Irish, non-Jewish folk often felt out of place.
