Walking NYC COVID Orange Zone: Forest Hills, Queens via Austin Street (October 20, 2020)

[@seviregis7441]

Austin Street was so cool in the 60's to 80's, started to go downhill around 1985, becoming crowded and commercial, losing its quaintness and London vibe. That whole Forest Hills Tudor-style area from Queens Blvd to Metropolitan Ave between Ascan Avenue and Yellowstone Blvd was really beautiful, very cool place, I grew up there, very artsy and trendy, the way SOHO once was. That Chateau jewelers, Lucille Roberts, and Cheese World have been there forever, nearly 50 years, give or take. I was an aerobics instructor at Lucille Roberts in the 70's. So many memories there, especially when the US OPEN was played at the stadium a few blocks over, and the tennis champions would drive slowly up Austin waving and smiling at friendly fans. Thank you for the video.

NYC always beautiful!!! Greetings from Brazil

I'm very much missing traveling, so I'm very happy to have discovered you here some while ago fellow walker. This is definitely the next best thing. Even though we do walking video's ourselves, we still enjoy watching other peoples. I guess it's the element of surprise it gives in not quite knowing what's around the corner. I do think such films are valuable and we often enjoy turning off Netflix and taking a virtual vacation! Ah we can but dream of the inspiring places we'll go but for now this is a happy interlude. Thank you for all your hard work, I know there's a lot goes in to such films.

hi from melbourne australia. we have bern in the longest lock down in the world . with few covid cases . we cant do much at all .

[@ActionKid]

So sad for Australia :(

[@loubarlow9102]

@@ActionKid most of Australia is doing OK and isn't in lock down or have restrictions etc. It's the state of Victoria, and particularly its capital Melbourne, which has been doing it tough with a long lock down in place.

[@nancypettitt1211]

Thanks AK. Your videos are fun as well as very informative. Please keep up your passion for this city. It is very authentic and honest. Take care and be safe.

What about all the'For lease signs' in the windows

[@junjurakhman4779]

Economic Catastrophe is what that is .

[@bravesoul5743]

Oh yeah, i love Forrest Hills! I always go there whenever I feel like just walking. However its a orange zone these days so I dont go as of yet. Thanks for doing these!

[@user-mn3wk1ii1w]

I am so happy to see so many ginkgo trees in NYC

[@judithhinton5784]

Let's hope those establishments have re-opened. It's disheartening to see store after store closed and shuttered. Thank you for the glimpse of what's going on in Forest Hills, AK.

[@vidyadhar66]

this street is hell to drive on,as the trucks stop for delivery. Walking on it is not much better. Flushing meadow park is my green zone

[@carlosvela149]

I love this video.

oh shiet Actionkid gets his eyebrows done?? always felt your eyebrows looking sharp

[@stargazer3284]

Looks like ActionKid just got verified by KZbin! 👍🏻

Hey man when you're out and about do you ever see people locating utilities? They'll be spray painting stripes on the ground with one hand and holding what seems like a metal detector in the other hand. Thats what I've been doing since March.

[@ActionKid]

Not too often

I got my flu shot already, we should all take the shots, can get at pharmacies

[@ActionKid]

I don't think it has

[@EvaOwen]

It has been changed to a Yellow Zone today!

[@Elohim83]

Love to hear it!

[@ActionKid]

Yep, on October 22, 2020 it will be a yellow zone!

[@sct4040]

Good to know.

[@matforsbon]

My God! Swedish Public Health Agency, announced this morning that elderly and other people in risk groups from today are no longer protected by any recommendations and says at the same time that it is not ruled out that the relief can lead to people dying.

[@sct4040]

Welcome to my neighborhood, I had no idea forest hills was in a so called orange zone. I have stopped following the news closely. Been reluctant to get a hair cut, since the salon always keep their doors closed, and air circulation is important as not to catch Covid-19. So, I guess I had a good excuse.

[@Diana-jh7rp]

Thanks for sharing action kid 👍

[@seenyc8992]

Great video.

[@lilymack4028]

Hi from Michigan, where as of this w/end our new case numbers are the worst ever. Thanks for doing these walks, altho it was a bit sad, tbh.

[@LouGrant999]

It's good you are documenting this over time.. The States and Cities and small businesses/restaurants need an immediate infusion of Federal dollars.

[@destinybedoya8868]

Do you mean red zone

[@k-dramagoodmorningseoul]

Hi, How are you? The whole world is similar in any country, but close to silence because of COVID-19.

[@blessings7015]

At 14:52. Stupid motorist. You should've said to him Ak, "I'm at a crosswalk here!" whilst pointing at the crosswalk lines on the pavement.

[@ringpop6177]

Puppies!! ❤️

[@Frankieefootballmundial]

Even though there wasn’t any parties or events this year hair salons and nail salons are still making money

[@michaelchin3550]

Not nearly as much as they did pre pandemic times! Limitations to the amount of clients in the shop because of social distancing. More time spent on each client too. Sanitizing of the stations after each client.

[@wilsonli5642]

This is the neighborhood I grew up in and love, but let's be clear - the problem isn't with government regulations or whatever, it's that people are getting sick and dying!

[@shawntakada1851]

We are red on my side of QB :(. I’m happy more people are wearing masks...

[@samirrami4586]

well done
