Main St. Flushing never disappoints with all its" activity and crowds. That was funny with the umbrella lady. People need to watch their 'umbrella manners" Thanks for the IT information. I know so little about it and when I have computer issues, I panic. and call Cox. Great walk with great weather.

Fantastic Video! Your video brought back a lot of cherished memories for me! I was born in Flushing, NY and spent many summers there visiting my relatives. Then, I would regularly stay in Flushing when I would visit NYC. Your video cured my homesickness - I have not been able to visit NYC or stay in Flushing in close to two years! Thank you so much!!

4:41, at that moment I knew we had just stepped out into Queens.

[@StrideWarrior]

Most busiest corner in all of Queens! 👍🏻👍🏻💯

That was the longest China Town ever.

0:16 Why are the last sections of the platform railed off? Flushing sure is different than it was 60 years ago. I think I see Fran Drescher.

Flushing is such an interesting part of NYC. I think people forget about what a melting pot the USA is. I love that you can find such a variety of cultures, food and environments in NYC. Small town America is great but, cities are so interesting and give people a better understanding of the world. It's the next best thing to travel.

15:28 What’s the purpose of that chimney at the curb?

[@StrideWarrior]

If you are talking about the Red Standpipes at 15:45 mark - Those are Dry Standpipes - used to transfer water to another location for the Fire Department. Those most likely lead down to the subway. The train platforms I was walking at the beginning of the video are right under that spot.

[@jerry550]

@@StrideWarrior Actually, a little before that around 15:28. There’s a guy in a blue shirt and a dark cap standing next to it.

[@StrideWarrior]

That is most likely some sort of ventilation for the subway station below.

@@StrideWarrior Thanks, sounds logical. I’m a little worn out from watching you walk so I’ll have to take a nap. If you make it as far as Flushing Meadows Park, don’t miss the Picture Phone demo at the Bell Telephone pavilion.
