1986 Brownsville NY

[@Elomac5]

I love this. Brings back memories of when we moved to Brownsville from Crown Heights in 1987.

[@richiebee1984]

MY FAMILY MOVED TO BROWNSVILLE FROM FORT GREEN IN 1987 AND STAYED UNTIL 2007 WHEN WE WENT TO EAST NEW YORK BEFORE MOVING TO NEWARK,NJ IN JANUARY 2019!!

[@juniorjames7076]

I grew up in Brownsville/East NY but my family moved to Rosedale, Queens in 1984 (where everybody from Brooklyn moved to back!! ha). Everybody at my school in Queens was originally from Brooklyn.

[@entertainingsportshighligh7525]

MIKE TYSON became the Youngest Heavyweight Champion in 1986 ... & he's from BROWNSVILLE BROOKLYN NY

[@kennethscarborough2742]

Watching this brings back memories of my life in Brooklyn playing sports in the park just having a good time with your friends

[@williamprocope9648]

I grew up in Highbridge in the Bronx and I remember it being like this. NYC was truly dope. I was much younger but we were right behind. The boys and fellas playing Basketball, Football and Baseball. The ladies and girls doing double dutch making up dance routines. Then there were games like tag and man hunt and off the wall.

[@Baltimorehop]

NO Crips, NO Bloods, NO Latin Kings, NO MS13.... None of that BS. Just regular peeps from the around the way doing it like da Ville do it. I'm from the Bronx and that's what we were doing in the 70's. We were also playing baseball on concrete along with stick ball and handball and I'm sure that were doing that in BK too. NYC baby...

[@brooklynnets9291]

@ Yeah Brownsville in the older days was a fucking War zone

[@brownsvillan]

If by 'war zone' you mean a pretty tough neighborhood to grow up in, then you are correct. No grenades, no tanks and no bombers!

[@brownsvillan]

@@philaufan6 Bet you wouldn't go there and say that!

[@brownsvillan]

@@philaufan6 I don't recall asking you what you prefer. Just recognize your opinion is pretty safe hiding behind a computer and/or smartphone.

But crazy how it was 1000 murders a year

[@Slimbenzene139]

That game of two hand touch was lit 🤣 QB was scrambling, stiff arming dudes, cat with the jersey running picks back 🤣

[@pvj2234]

"Never ran, never will!" Good memories! We used to visit our favorite uncle there in the 70's and 80's. R.I.P. Tio Neto! -Los hiipity-hopers from the Bronx

mike tyson hood

[@iamedwardbibbins9012]

It’s crazy seeing the 5 back in the day. What’s even more crazy is it looked just like that when I went in the 90s.

[@big_mike_nyc]

Yeah man that’s exactly who I thought of Iron Mike’s stomping ground! No bloods or crips or Latin kings but still a very dangerous neighborhood then and now..

[@paologianono2539]

Damm son I used live at 275 Blake Ave. On the 5th floor. From 1983 to 1985 best days ever.

[@dragonknightofamiraka3636]

Back when like everyone wore shirts with the name of some college on it.

[@moneybagshawty7086]

Beautiful footage

[@lanceg2215]

Awesome video. Thank you so much for showing all of us. 💪

[@AyeAye-Ron]

Tape on the school yard on Rockaway and Hegeman. I recognized Linden and Rock where DD is at now.

[@teighnabland263]

Yes; that was Harry A. Eiseman JHS 275 back in the 60’s. I attended that school.🙌🏽

[@prestonmurphy6432]

Diggin the isolated James Jamerson bass track to "Whats Going On "!!

[@TDTam11]

Ever notice there are weeds coming out of the concrete everywhere in the 80s?

[@austinserrano268]

so true

[@fukcudave2686]

I remember that so much and all the broken glass on sidewalks

[@hectorpuente316]

I said the same thing about 5 years ago talking to my wife about how most of the hood around nyc was full of green plants regardless of the falling buildings all around us. I was born in 87 but much of what I could remember in crown heights was a lot of over grown bush every where ... I get somewhat happy when I see these over grown bushes next to the many new trees the city put some years back. Good point

[@TDTam11]

Remember in the early 80s you would see packs of dogs walking around the neighborhoods??

[@MoneyOverFame]

concrete jungle.

[@exclamationthoughts5734]

Grew up on nyc will always have a soft spot but would never move back

[@oochiewally2783]
