Inside Brooklyn's Historic & Unique Boerum Hill

[@BrigidaRuffo-x7j]

Great video Tom, thank you ❤

[@williamlopez3910]

I was born and raised in Brooklyn, born in 1955, raised in Brownsville and East New York, spent lots of time around Canarsie. Have you ever done a deep dive into those neighborhoods? I remember as a young boy living in a 2 family house on Christopher Ave in Brownsville, the old man living downstairs had a horse and wagon in the garage/barn in the backyard. He sold vegetables in the neighborhood from his wagon. We also had guys with horse and wagons sharpening knives, collecting rags, selling watermelons, corn. Many different guys with horses and wagons in the area.

You packed a lot of interesting things, look forward to the next one

Tommy D the 🐐. Perfect timing as I recently moved to Brooklyn

[@VinnieCamilleriMusic]

Your historic knowledge is outstanding!

[@mikedrown2721]

I like the flower garden in the bathtub at 1:36 Show us Lemon's kittens when they are born .Thanks Tom.

[@Tyrni88]

Thank you Tom for teaching us new things about New York. I look forward to every new video you post. ❤ I Sorry I've never heard of Boerun Hill before. I love learning new things from you. During the Corona years your videos kept me going that I could keep my imagination active by traveling to New York every week from my home in Helsinki ❤❤❤

[@Jesse615]

Even better. The platform at Hoyt-Schermerhorn (just say skimmer-horn) where Bad was shot is not in operation. It was built during the heyday of horse racing, and used for a special line that served the Aqueduct racetrack.

This is great! My first visit (and sadly so far only) to NYC I stayed in Boerum Hill. I wish I had known about Tom's videos before I made my visit, but thankfully because of him my next one will be much more fulfilling.

[@RR-bd4bm]

This is so cool, Tom!!!

Informational density is off the charts ❤

We Love You Bro, Thank You For All That You & Your Team Do

My father would tell me that the reason that the Mohawks would be “iron workers,” is because they “weren’t afraid of heights!”

[@thegraceofgod3662]

You should have walked over to the projects on Wyckoff St and Nevins St. I grew up there.

[@BreeVilela]

Wow, how convenient to find one of your recent videos while looking for content about this neighborhood. I love your videos and even searched for the neighborhood's name hoping to find one of yours. It even gave me a little bit of hope in life. 😂😂

[@goldie260]

that neighborhood has always been quiet and normal,,, parking is always tough summer and spring are the best times to walk through there the fall is great for the different colored leaves

[@jazminaaliyah7082]

My question is do you do tours, you would be so amazing at hosting a tour!!!

[@dionlegette889]

Awesome detail and great information and keeping everyone in the know.

[@Rondjdjdj]

Tom D legendary 👍👍👍

[@MichaelMcDonald-fh2lv]

I love your research. We need to support Tom's Patron Page so he can go to Boston.

[@christianmoller6141]

Why do I feel like you included all that stuff about the mohawk Indians in a recent video I watched not too long ago

[@TheMadisonHang]

@9:30 that building looks really familiar , especially the color of the brick we have a brookly park out here, north of minneapolis, in Minnesota come thru!

[@MikeP2055]

I always enjoy your videos, but I loved the hell outta this one. These neighborhoods of Brooklyn fascinate me, and this installment was packed with interesting bits of history and miscellaneous pop culture. All of the row houses along the tree-lined streets are so beautiful! This is a big (HUGE) ask, but I learned about the Bronx's City Island several years ago and it blew my mind. Another faithful member of the TomD Squad told me it would probably take 1/2 of the day just to get to Pelham Bay Park by train, then who-knows-how-much longer to take a bus or cab out to City Island, but I would LOVE to hear your nuggets of history and see the footage you and Cam could collect during a visit. Plus, I think it would just be an exceptionally interesting diversion from the NYC that most people envision when the city is mentioned. I'll pitch in on Venmo for funds to get out there. Hell, I'll pitch in on Venmo regardless. I love your videos! Cam was being a li'l rascal today and I loved it. 😆 Take care. ✌️✌️ Mike in SLC.

[@TheMadisonHang]

@4:30 hello! minnesota says hi! that building looks famaliar around these parts!

long live the Dutch, I am one of them, but I think the Yankees(Dutch) don't know, I asked once I was in Harlem if the people know where the name come from, they did not know, I was born in Haarlem.

I'm sure you'll be interested and disappointed to know that the DC Carnegie library is actually an Apple Store now...

[@Allenryan819]

Another great video tom but you really need to work on your pronunciation of Schermerhorn.😂

[@Myraisins1]

Too bad they demolished the Church of the Redeemer 4th Ave and Pacific St to build high rises. No respect for history whatsoever.

[@MrSouthOfFrance]

say hi to your cat

[@yass123]

Why don't they just bury the gowanus canal?

[@bigwig5395]

7:27 how's that homophobic?

[@christianhansen3292]

thinks it is pronounced Hoty-Skemerhorn...

[@watanabewatanabe7886]

oh oh oh ozempic. Yeah they sold out.

[@pkihu9910]

why are the stupid childish pop-up graphics and photos?? Facts please nothing but the facts

[@PamK36]

It's called humor. Some people like it.

[@pkihu9910]

@PamK36 Yeah. He is not my taste. I have discovered other KZbinrs with more maturity and professionalism for my liking. I'm glad to have other choices.

[@goldie260]

I'm born and raised in flatbush on lefferts and Bedford a nice tree lined block,,, and ya I'm 50 so of course I know Brooklyn way better than you
