Hey Tom, great content. Idea for a series: bygone NY nightlife spots. The Stork Club, Studio 54, CBGB, the Tunnel, less known spots, etc.

The Gotham City Guru does it again. Thanks Tom for another informational and entertaining live stream.

[@TheLWord75]

You forgot to cover the site of the Palm Sunday Massacre of April 1984. That was the worst mass murder in NYC history before 9/11. Two women, Two Teens, six children, and one unborn child were murdered by deranged gunman high on cocaine. There was one survivor, a little girl, who was later adopted by the officer who rescued her from the murder site. Hope you cover it in a future video.

[@dissidentfairy4264]

Sad but interesting stories. You always make them so entertaining and fun even when they are tragic. Every time you slide down a handrail I can't help but wonder how many germs you are picking up on your pants. lol I don't even touch handrails. Okay, I admit I'm a bit of a germaphobe. lol

[@annchambers5739]

I love when he slides down the handrails! The longer the more fun!

[@dissidentfairy4264]

@@annchambers5739 I didn't say I didn't like it. It's just that my mind starts imagining the thousands of people that have held onto the handrails and who knows where their hands have previously been. It conjures all sorts of wild imaginings! lol

[@jesseolson3142]

When he said he was probably smokin a doobie it reminded me of the movie Chuck And Larry. Hey I found what started the fire a good ol fashioned doobie. Hey brother thats my weed 😅

I remember a while back you did a video of Bushwick/ knickerbocker with action kid. Can you do another video of Maria Hernandez park and Knickerbocker?

[@patrick707100]

Good and mostly accurate on Willy Sutton. First, we lived at 542 Dean Street (between 6th and Carlton). As freshman in HS my brother and I saw Willy Sutton playings cards with a group on the black. We told out Uncle who was a Federal agent and he reported but since it came from 12 olds, it was ignored. He was told no way was Sutton living in Brooklyn. Shortly after that he was spotted on a subway train by Arnold Schuster who followed him off the subway train when he got off at Bergan Street across from the 78Pct police station. Schuster told two Policemen. The Policemen took credit for the sighting and tried to bypass Schuster and were on every newspaper front page. Arnold Schuster then came forward and was given credit. Sadly that led to his murder. That neighborhood of Brooklyn, known then as either Downtown, Park Slope. It is now known as Prospect Heights. Many of the neighborhoods in downtown Brooklyn have been invented in the last 25/30 years. Clinton Hill, Cobble Hills, Carroll Gardens, known as Red Hook, South Brooklyn mostly. Thank you for your Vlogs. Your sense of humor is unique. More on Brooklyn, which has played an huge part in US history. The list of Brooklyn born is staggering. Several High Schools in Brooklyn, James, Madison, Abraham Lincoln in particular have produced an amazing list of alumni. Blessings. Happy Easter
