Driving around Historic Downtown Middletown NY passenger view

[@sandranynj7118]

I grew up in Middletown. It was so different then. Big stores, mom and pop stores. It was a friendly neighborhood. Families shopping for groceries in the A&P. So different now. I have been gone since the late 1980's.

There is some of that remaining, but it's become more populated, especially recently and they have developed a lot, added more apartment complexes as well as stores, it's a mix of good and bad, unfortunately. Personally, even now, I prefer it over Brooklyn, where I grew up.

Left home in 2017. Been in El Paso TX since I got stationed here at Fort Bliss I served as an 11B infantry in the US Army. Born and raised in M-town for 18 years. Man I miss home….

I know what it's like to miss home, I was born and raised in Brooklyn NY, was there for 36 years but it's changed for the worse. I love it here, compared to what Brooklyn has become this is pretty close to paradise. I hear a lot of people move to Texas to get away from a lot of the problems places like NY and California are having. Makes me wonder if it really is a better location to live, though.

Thank you for watching and for commenting.

Right at 1:16 that was the old Motor Vehicle office. I remember taking my written driving test there.

They've been renovating that area, looks good, looks new but retaining a look of history. I might make a night video walking through there, if I can get the chance.

My family went to grace episcopal up to the time we left in 1965. My mom grew up there.

[@BklynOutdoors]

That's a lot of history there. Thanks for watching.

Another fantastic video.

Thank you, and thanks for watching

I've been eyeing this town for a bit. Is it completely desolate? I'm looking for a change; somewhere to move outside of The City.

[@BklynOutdoors]

Nope, it's actually become pretty busy over the last few years, if you want quiet and empty you have to go further north or NorthWest, a lot of people (me included) have moved here from the city, already
