[@devskot5295]

I remember these car shows down shore Blvd. Miss the music and those freaking days 😢🍺👅🚬💊

[@pefernandez1982]

Astoria was so awesome before gentrification closed Shore Blvd

[@cro75guy81]

I used to live in Astoria - Amazing place to grow up- Miss how it used to be

[@68novajay]

Times have sure changed. Good seeing what everything once was.

[@ryansilver9055]

Astoria Park is one of my favorite places every summer

[@frankpostava6217]

Thanks for the flashback...my time was more around 77-78, but seeing hells gate again was great...

[@FRANKLAURA100]

[@MrColinastoria]

Great F'ing video of the good old days on Astoria Park Strip... Many thanks

[@georgegatt3369]

Hey guys; awesome video. I’m a lifelong Astorian. I LOVE this video. I’m making an Astoria based album and wrote a song called Astoria Park. We used a couple of short scenes from your video; I hope that’s cool with you guys. The project is called MIAstoria. Thanks for this masterpiece. It’s AWESOME!!!!!!!!!✌️

[@azarlane9553]

Where can I listen to your song?

[@jayfridayaq]

Yeah, I grew up in Astoria and lived there for 38 years. I'd love to hear your song!

[@KellyODo]

I live in Astoria. In the summer, there are a bunch of older guys who hang out on Shore Blvd showing off their old cars. I wonder if some of those guys are in this video.

[@poopmcscoopface]

+Kelly O'Donnell young kids still do this today on shore

[@gnumani]

poopmcscoopface Shore blvd is one way now. The area has bike lines and is more family friendly. No one does car shows anymore.

[@jayfridayaq]

Because of the bicyclists and joggers, there are no longer any cars allowed on shore Blvd. I miss the old Astoria, before the changes. Such a different vibe now.

[@janinenieves3844]

I miss hanging out at astoria pool with my friends such a different time then.

[@13xStudio.]

Thanks so much for the great memories!! I was there during that time and also surprised not to see me car in the background

[@scottcassulis6062]

ahhhh :) miss Astoria queens i was born in 1982 so i totally remember the 80's

[@msgalahad3332]

We were hanging out on the shore in 82 if you were born in 1982 by time you were old enough we were Adults.We used to swim in Astoria Pool at Night in the summer cops never bothered us our friend was the "Parkee" we walked through an open gate.The shore never closed.No body complained. A certain local politician's son try to play Big Boss Man and they put him in a garbage can. They put poles to block the street of so we couldn't drive through we ripped them out😂

[@scottcassulis6062]

@@msgalahad3332 i hear ya and yea I was born in December of 1982 by the time I was old enough unfortunately had to move to Pennsylvania when I was 20

[@wendylee3882]

[@melissadurante1450]

Cruised the strip a million times...hung out with my Pops and his friend with a Bill Blasd Edition Lincoln Continental

[@konstantinostselios1129]

No cell phones no social media normal staff

[@edanluna9896]

How its changed. It was so much nicer then. I remember when they used to have bands in Astoria pool!!! Hells Gate was the Summer hangout just before everybody headed out to either Papagalos or 1018! lol great video. I too recognize some faces.

You're killing me man

[@johnc4352]

Yo Cameraman! I caught you out here down Memory Lane.

[@NEUTRALDROP]

@@johnc4352 yup those were the days man😕

[@LetsFNgo]

@@NEUTRALDROPwould you by chance remember a tubbed AMC SC/Rambler owned by a guy named Brian around the period this video was shot? 1985 or 86?

[@TheReaper42069]

I was looking for you in these videos CM!

[@fmont62]

Great times in Astoria park

[@MikeBreen-v7f]

My older Brother had two TransAMs 197980 .

[@Thatguy-zp3eh]

It was so fun and beautiful back then, now unfortunately Astoria park is ruin, 😕. You got punks riding their dirt bike all over the parks , drunks and pot heads everywhere, people throwing garbage everywhere. What a shame.

[@MegaDaveNichols]

The guy at 7:32 , that looks alot like this guy Limey we knew as kids. Is that Limey!? havent seen him since the very early 80's

[@magamaga1827]

Back when Astoria was affordable and full of, well, ASTORIANS born and raised. Place sickens me now. Btw, I was living out in Whitestone so Franny Lew was our spot but every once in a while we'd make the trip in to see what was hapenning in Astoria. Great time to be young.

[@hoonami139]

I'm partial to the banged up 79 grand prix doing one wheel peel burnouts in the beginning, I have one that was bought in Queens NY at Myrtle Motors

[@kosmashionidis3543]

Memories, good times in kick Astoria

[@akaLunacy]

Fuck-! Things surely changed!

[@chulodanny44]

The good ol days this has to be a between 84-86

[@cro75guy81]

Seems earlier, 82-83 - Thriller is playing on radio and Saw one 82 Camaro - Mostly 1st and 2nd gen f-bodies - (Camaro/Trans-am/Firebird) -

[@mikemartin8495]

Does anyone have picture of crystal gardens? It was on 24th ave from 27th st through 29th street. I have yet to see an image of it. I’ve heard about it my entire life (46 years) of how beautiful it was. If anyone has an image, please contact me.

[@msgalahad3332]

It was called that but it was just a few blocks of apartment buildings nothing special.Alot of my friends lived there in the 70's,80's and 90's and even to this day.

[@KnightOwl2006]

Ah memories. Any idea what year(s) these vids were taken?

[@MrYankeeSteel]

I would say around 1983/84. Around the 1:35 mark I want a new drug by Hewey Lewis and the News is playing that song is from that time period. I was born in Astoria in 76, and we lived there up until mid 1985. So I was probably down there when they did this. I used to the park quite often with my family I remember these car shoes. Fun to watch these videos.

[@NEUTRALDROP]

@@MrYankeeSteel 84 because Thriller was playing on the radio that's my guess

[@lambjack1]

Heard I'll Wait off of Van Halen 1984 album

[@RobGInTheHaus]

That 1970 chevelle with the tunnel ran at 6:59 is the baddest car in the video

[@vasilioseleftheriadis2948]

12:00 the charger boys jim vito gus mukee billy elefty

[@cobone1457]

I know a few of the people in this video..LOL...I CANT BELIEVE WHAT I AM SEEING..LOL..LOL.LOL....

[@MegaDaveNichols]

I'm guessing around 1982

[@azarlane9553]

Judging by the fact that “Thriller” was playing from one of the cars early in the video, and since Thriller was released in November of 1982, then this video is Summer of 83’, earliest.

[@lambjack1]

Huey Lewis spring 84. I want a new drug.

[@unauthorizedentry-coldwave777]

that looks like sydney harbour bridge

[@michaellove9547]

The worst car in the video was the114th police car lol

[@vasilioseleftheriadis2948]

all the cars of the 80s are the worst cars

[@jayfridayaq]

Lol lol lol lol lol!!!!!!
