How College Point Got Its Name | College Point Queens NY

[@JentleRain]

When I lived there, we called it Garbage Point.

This is Mooney dash cams Dad what he doesn't even realize which I think is super cool is he went right past his mom's Elementary School at one point where all that construction was going on👊😎👍Great video does anyone else find this Super relaxing?

[@MOONEYDashCam]

You’re right I had no idea haha

I used to live in College point. My father's friend had a boat at the Marina. He eventually had a boat that he was working on. After he passed away I would sneak in the Marina at night with a few friends and get smashed. I had a small dingy that I used to take out at night while smashed AF and drive around. Good times. There was this kid named Jaws. We named him Jaws because his Jaw was attached to his neck. Anyways we brought him out to the marina one night and we all got into a dingy with no motor. There were 3 of us. Me and another kid I was with hoped out of the dingy and pushed it out with Jaws still in it. We had the rope still. We told him if he tried to pull himself in we would let the rope go. A few hours later we noticed the rope wasn't fastened someone had untied it and Jaws disappeared. He literally floated away. Until this day we don't know what happened to him. We never seen him again. Not even at school. Bayside high-school.

Wow, that schools is that old? Sadly, the whole school yard is removed and only reduced to a small section due to the new building I believe

[@victorconrad7422]

Mr. Mooney. Whatsup man.

[@happyme3376]

Neutral, I just subscribed to your channel too! My son is on KZbin. His thing is music tutorials, but as a parent, I totally love seeing other parents supporting their children's channels. Well done! Mooney is a joy, and I bet you are too! :)

[@happyme3376]

I am amusing myself between your newer videos by watching your older videos, which are great as well. My hubby and big brother are also watching! Well done, Mooney!

[@johnneumar6735]

[@frankt9929]

Love your tours Mooney. Many memories of places i have been to and how places changed.

[@MOONEYDashCam]

Thank you

[@karenguerra6351]

Adventures Inn was there in the 50s. I got to go about once a year. We lived off the Causeway in Grantville. Last time I was there, I saw our house had become a parking lot. :( We were a block from Flushing Bay and when the Beatles played Shea, We were on the barge at Bright's Boat Yard and could hear a little of them.

[@bjornwilder2073]

You prolly dont care but if you guys are bored like me during the covid times then you can watch pretty much all the new movies on InstaFlixxer. Have been streaming with my gf lately xD

[@tristianparker5716]

@Bjorn Wilder Yea, I have been using Instaflixxer for since november myself :D

[@margaritalondono4438]

Thank you for this video of College Point. I lived there since 1978 to 1986. I wish you had gone down to 110th st. Because that is the end of the road and I lived on 14-17 110th st. And you would have seen the NY skyline right in front of you. I saw this skyline when the towers where still up every day of my growing up there. It was a million dollar view. Used to go to the dock that was in front of our house to the left of EDO parking and sit there at sunset and write poems when I was a teenager. Best view ever!!!!! 💞 Next time go to that street you will not be disappointed!!! Margarita Londono 🙂

[@MOONEYDashCam]

I will check that out thank you

"If they open the back of this truck for a delivery, I am going to have to back up this block," Money says in his mellifluous voice. (We wait 2 seconds) "I have to hop out to see what's happening." (1 second later the back of the truck blocking traffic slides up--a delivery is in fact, in progress. M. starts fiddling with his door. He is going to advance to the impeding vehicle and satisfy all of our curiosity regarding the hold up. After all, we have places to be, no? Just then the rear door of the truck slides open, yes it is in the beginning stage of a delivery) "Yep. I can't wait around for this," Mooney says. (He puts the old truck into reverse.) "Alright, back we go . . ." and his wonderful old truck begins laboring backward. Thank you Mooney, it those moments of your narrative that keep me watching . . .

[@MOONEYDashCam]

I enjoyed this very much

[@harrylevey5916]

North of CPB and Linden is 20th Avenue and 14th Avenue that also brings you into College Point.

[@frankt9929]

College Point was in the 1800s a vacation spot for city people and also quite a spot for German people here with large Hofbraus and small hotels all near the shore. There were ferries from Manhattan to College Point. I saw a couple of Hofbraus when I was a kid living there in the fifties and sixties.

[@MOONEYDashCam]

It is a beautiful place with the elevation and views I can see why

[@sinisterisrandom8537]

I continue to learn more each day about it.

[@frankrappa4765]

Hey I am from College Point and this is a great video. 📹 👌 👍

[@MOONEYDashCam]

Thank you!

[@sanfrancisco89]

Adventurer's, not Adventure Inn started in the 1950s. The aero slide you are talking about was adjacent to Golf City on 20th Ave. not the amusement park. It wasn't very large either. It was on Linden Place and the service road of the Whitestone Expressway, not where you are driving. 20th Avenue is also an entrance to College Point. The North side of College Pt. faces the East River, so it's not all Flushing Bay.

[@oliverrando6463]

Man when it comes to college point man I think that's when you cross I think the bridge by throgs neck in the bronx but man I would love to live around they're it's nice

[@leeannlack6521]

14th Ave & 20th Ave also get you into C.P. Flushing airport was for private planes only and during the world's Fair the Goodyear blimp would fly in and out of flushing airport it was run by Mr. Speed Hazlick(sp)

[@PontiacPOWA]

theres something about the very distinguishable sound of a 5.4 powered F250

[@AaronBridges]

I was in college point working at a Pepsi plant there. Installed a bunch of conveyor systems there back in 2001. I remember the plant was next to the water & u could see Shea stadium from there & also a very cool view of Manhattan. Think I spent about 6 or 7 months there. I remember we had to drive from are hotel in Floral Park to the plant everyday because the company was cheap on finding hotel rooms. I will say I really enjoyed my time working in NY &getting to know some of the people there.

LaGuardia opened in 1939 and had nothing to do with the closing of Flushing Airport. Flushing Airport was a very busy GA airport up until it was closed. It was closed because of noise complaints and safety concerns. Also greed the city wanted the land to expand commercial expansion that largely never happened.

[@leeannlack6521]

The slide was not at Adventurers Inn it was at Gulf city which would now be on 20th Avenue near where the McDonald's is

[@leeannlack6521]

Yooooo i live in college point tooo

[@sassytoonsball-ruck58]

My husband grew up here... very curious your chatter... you rightly respected College Point - such a great area quintessential NYC/Queens neighborhood back in the day; great fondness from him & his family.

[@ilaaa.3555]

that one block i used to live there that whole street is cursed bro there’s fires every now and then one of my house caught on fire

[@mariellequinones5693]

FLOODY POINT .

[@IaMoDiNaRy]

When you turned left at the park, I lived in the condominium complex next door to the park right there on the water. Directly across the river from there is LaGuardia Airport. I was a flight attendant in the late 1980s. I hated living there because I'd always lived in a rural area my entire life with no neighbors for miles. Thanks for the video. It really brought back some memories.

[@victorconrad7422]

How was the area in the 80s?

[@justme6767]

Missing Mooney new videos soon

[@orvillepalmer8022]

If you can do one in the jamaica queen area thank you.

[@Wayofthewarrior312]

The pizza place with the red awning next to the dunkin dounts use to be called the college point lounge. Did you know there was a secret house behind the bar? I use to play in the back yard when I was little. Check the time index at 5:30 on the left side of the video.

That was really cool. I enjoyed that. Brings back a lot of my childhood memories. I haven’t been back there in years.

Charles Cunningham was the king of College Point

[@Prevolution]

9:14 I hate slow drivers too. 11:00 Never knew NYC had some hilly parts, interesting. 12:10 Oh that skyline looks really nice. Probably looks even better in real life than on camera. 12:48 Why do they need to park on the corner of a street like that? Some people really can't park. 15:49 Some nice classic cars. 19:35 It surprised me people weren't even honking at the truck that was blocking the street to do a delivery. I enjoyed the video. Would really like to see you do a tour of Manhattan one day. Keep up the good work!

[@MOONEYDashCam]

The people are used to the trucks stopping like that it’s just a part of driving around there, thanks for the comment brother!

[@Prevolution]

@@MOONEYDashCam You're welcome bro, I appreciate good dash cam videos. Most of the other dash cam channels are mainly focused on accident videos but sometimes I just want to watch something different. That's why I'm glad I found your channel. I also like to support small channels and it makes me happy to see them grow. I know what a stuggle it can be to reach people on KZbin these days, with the algorhytm making it really hard to stand out. I got to about 700 in approx. 8 months but I really tried hard by going to other peoples livestreams and getting to know other peoples channels and an entire livestreaming community on KZbin. I do make my own livestreams by the way, if you're interested. Btw not trying to promote myself on here, please don't take it like that. Anyways, I really enjoy these videos. I hope to see many more of them.

[@MOONEYDashCam]

Prev hey I appreciate the hustle I’ll definitely check out your stuff

[@Prevolution]

@@MOONEYDashCam That's awesome bro, thanks 💪

[@sinisterisrandom8537]

Over here in our little town. This is very normal for us, since many of us know each other. We tend to make it fair for most. Which is why the rent and stuff here can be quite cheap compared to other places.

[@EdVentre-b3k]

Adventurers Inn was not in College Point it was on Linden place in Flushing next to the Whitestone expressway if you're going to drive around doing a tour you should at least know what you are talking about

[@moilami1]

I did not live there. Think it is as important to say as I lived there.
