Walking Downtown Fort Lauderdale & Riverwalk (March 10, 2022)

[@Dhi_Bee]

It’s so weird seeing a city I lived in almost my whole life from a tourist’s/newcomer’s perspective, & I have to say you did a really good job showing it to others.

[@ActionKid]

Thanks for the kind words!

[@olevet75]

where'd you move dude?

[@HaliB75]

Fort Lauderdale is a major metropolitan area in Florida. It is certainly well developed and has been for decades.

[@jeanpaulmondesir1336]

Fort Lauderdale is part of the Miami metropolitan area also called South Florida.

[@Dhi_Bee]

Yeah, I don’t get what he meant by that either. I thought maybe he was referring to the recent, mini condo boom we had in & around downtown in the last 5 years (like the Flagler Village & Victoria Park neighborhoods nearby, as well as tearing down & rebuilding/redeveloping what was Las Olas Riverfront, where The Wharf is now). But like you said, the city pretty much has been well-developed since (at the very least) the late 1970s-early 1980s

[@ActionKid]

It's a gorgeous place to experience for sure

[@damariscolon3137]

So clean and well maintain, love the gardens. Thanks AK

[@ActionKid]

[@Lavender-doll]

Riverwalk is so lovely, especially seeing the boats!

[@ActionKid]

I think so too!

[@davidellis5141]

Fort Lauderdale is where I would live in Florida. Very nice 🚶‍♂️ by The Action Kid 🐼

[@HengMiao]

22:39 Great timing in capturing the boat traffic, and I've been curious to see when the bridge goes up and down! I really enjoyed seeing the beautiful Riverwalk leading up to the Old Fort Lauderdale Village. 😍 Thank you for sharing this relaxing stroll in Fort Lauderdale, AK! 🤗🌴

[@ActionKid]

It was perfect timing to catch the bridge going up with all the boats passing underneath

[@louisetregomorgan4907]

Thanks for the tour guide through Fort Lauderdale. Such a clean city and very well manicured. Those boats are truely magnificent, dreams do come true in America if you put your mind to it and work hard. Such a nice walk AK thanks .

[@ActionKid]

Appreciate the kind words. Thanks for watching this walk through Downtown Fort Lauderdale

[@michaelmcgarry7701]

Love Fort Lauderdale!

[@oceana9294]

Another beautiful walk and the best was taking the Riverwalk, so much to see and enjoy. Imagine living at/near the top of one of those residential high-rise buildings, views would be tremendous but so would the rent! LOL! Thanks AK. Any of your water walks, be it ocean, river, swamp or lake, are wonderful.

[@ActionKid]

It must be such a beautiful view from up there!

[@Downtowndarryl]

My hometown, isn't it Gorgeous? Las Olas is such a great boulevard to walk.

[@jilllovesbeegees70]

I enjoy these walks so much. My husband and I walk this every year while visiting the area. Thank you, so nice to have this recording to bring back memories ..

[@rew3737]

Thanks for taking us on your walk with you. I enjoyed it.

[@crystals6352]

The river walk was absolutely beautiful. Thank you AK!

[@nancypettitt1211]

wow Kenneth.....what a beautiful Riverwalk. Thanks so much for the great video as always. I love to watch the bridge go up for the boats and then down. For some reason, I find that so cool. Take care

[@ActionKid]

It's such a beautiful sight!

[@cherylmarshall6874]

🌺🌸 Hey AK, another great video! Ft Lauderdale has really grown . The tall office buildings and the high rise condos remind me of Brickell. So nice to see happy people with smiles on their faces. Awesome yachts. Hope you can set sail soon 🏝⛵

[@ActionKid]

It really does remind me of Brickell in places

[@christinacaruth8429]

AK,Thanks for Sharing. I spent alot time on Las Olas. Been to the riverwalk. I Remember Blockbuster was the in thing in the Venice of America. The best part was the Water Taxi on the Intecoastal.Thwre has been a major clean up of the Area. Major Urban Gentrification in Central Fort Lauderdale in the last 35 years.

[@LorRaineAvellino]

Great Walk in Ft. Lauderdale, so beautiful. I enjoyed the Riverwalk and downtown, looking forward for your next video of maybe more north of Ft. Lauderdale.

[@helenebarragan482]

Great tour of the River Walk it is beautiful.

[@kathymcpherson2116]

Great walk as usual!! I was in the area last week - went to Cuba Libre restaurant, loved the atmosphere and food there.

[@bernardfriedman532]

Hope all is well actionkid! I come here almost everyday!

[@PELGRP]

I moved from NYC to Fort Lauderdale 30 years ago. Best move ever.

[@DroOnTheGO]

I love the Las Olas/Fort Lauderdale area! I grew up in Broward so would frequent this area.

You're creative keep going✨✨✨✨✨.. Sender: your brother (Baraa) from Palestine 🇵🇸🇺🇲

Thanks for sharing. Great Video👍😀

[@jarihult]

I’ve been at the downtown Fort Lauderdale only once !! So it was nice to see the downtown after such a long time 🙂! That Jungle Queen boat was the blast from the past , we’ve been on that on the way to the Indian Village !! Fort Lauderdale is so beautiful city and it’s river is so beautiful as well !! So thank you A K for bringing back memories 👍!!!

[@ActionKid]

It's such an amazing place!

[@jarihult]

@@ActionKid You should try the Jungle Queen boat ! It’s a nice ride 🙂

[@jurgenrathjen5965]

Life is great if you have the money to afford living in places like Ft. Lauderdale. For most people like me, I rely on your videos.

[@Manishpadwa]

Really I've enjoyed the video alot but it started capturing 480 pixel in the middle of video, and thanks again for uploading such videos.

Coyo is so good. I tried the one in Wynwood.

[@baliwalknshops1517]

This place is really cool the boat and the landscaping the walk way every thing is so perfect ,,,very nice walking video really like yours ActionKid

[@graphicsprincess]

Thank you 😊 for another awesome walking video.

[@TheRealBurgNerd]

Beautiful city, just a blatant lack of shade trees - just Crepe Myrtles and Palms. Must be super hot in the summer

[@shaysceneftl]

Wow so funny you noticed this lol it’s torturous. This was actually a strong point brought up in a recent civic/ community debate on what to do with a large piece of real estate in Flagler Village- major campaign for a park & green space! The City voted to widen the arts & entertainment district ultimately, bank the ROI and with embrace a cutting edge entertainment and concert venue!!

[@jurgenrathjen5965]

Been there many times, one of my favorite places. los Olas Blvd. has everything! Its a great walk from downtown on Los Olas Blvd. all the way to the ocean. On Los Olas Blvd. is the "Floridian" a wonderful delicatessen restaurant. Reminds me of Queens, delicatessens, that are not that numerous any more.

[@vip_supercars3652]

[@hamidhamid332]

Lovely City.

[@steves9988]

Beautiful, peaceful walk! Never thought I'd be interested in south Florida, but it's always interesting to see what you find next! Thank you AK!!

[@jbar_85]

Fort Lauderdale has been developed for a long time. The last ten years, however, it has sped up to keep with the population growth. It’s a pretty and clean downtown. It has growing pains due to all this growth, like any city would but it’s still nice.

[@FOTZEL]

Not as Exciting as the Beach Area,but a nice peaceful Relaxing, stroll, THX for the Tour!

[@sandradiaz3429]

Hey ak I am glad your are are getting around in Florida.thanks for your videos.⛱

Hope you are settled in! Be careful when you start to drive around ! Other people impatient is everywhere! Your slow and steady will prevail!🌏

[@Lechonsitoasado334]

Beautiful walk action kid .

[@MilesBellas]

There are hardly any people compared to NYC. Maybe slow scenic vistas will become an aspect of the videos?

[@Tenebarum]

It’s hot. Humid. Subtropical climate. There are more than enough people here. Why would anyone want Ft Lauderdale to be like NYC, crowded and filthy?

[@charles1203]

What’s crazy is you shot this in march. We’re in December and all ready so much has changed!

[@elizabethsantiago9419]

Fantastic

[@bubblesgaming-i8w]

How lucky are we to come by the bridge when it is closing again and I say we as I feel this is our journey.

[@hollylopez1968]

The Floridian at the east end of Las Olas is a very old very good diner open 24/7...I go down from palm beach just to go there

[@juanbadbreedracinggarcia6608]

I love river walk, I’ve been going there since 2004 it was sad to see it after 2007 everything closed it was dead there, and it bounced back and it’s thriving now, my favorite weekend get away I stay at the new Hyatt hotel on front of the park. I recommend it for anyone who wants to get away for the weekend.

[@juanbadbreedracinggarcia6608]

Cool video, I enjoyed it, I’ll be planning to stop by and stay at river walk, Miami Beach soon👍🏻

[@charles1203]

I’m from here. Personally I’m surprised no one complained about you video taping them.

[@gstevens6948]

So nice, clean & beautiful though…

[@janetmack4035]

Good WALK Throw

[@johnsmith2046]

It's nice to see some more Fort Lauderdale footage, thanks for this, ActionKid! By the way, that's over 20 miles from Miami. Can I ask what kind of transportation you took? Cheers from northeast Ohio

[@jannporter5248]

Hi Actionkid...thank you for all of your awesomeness ...I've been praying for Sefat..I never saw what happened...looked on his stream I didn't see anything...did he get hurt? Did he get hit by a car? Oh my gosh I hope he's going to be ok...💌

[@AlvinSeville1]

I've been to Fort Lauderdale. While there, I ate at some eating establishment...an open air place on Federal Hwy. (Hwy. 1). I believe it had some French name, but they served American food.

I'm happy you are in Florida, nothing is more important than FREEDOM, you have much more personal freedom in Florida than you would ever have in New York.i look forward to all your adventures.

[@exoressdelivers70]

What freedoms they have in Florida that they don't have in New York? In New York there is freedom to get an abortion. Freedom to identify has trans. Freedom to read a book about the history of slavery. Freedom to attend a drag show. Freedom to smoke a joint and chill on the front porch. None of those 'freedoms' exist in Florida.

[@iljafritzler6823]

Fort Lauderdale looks clean and nice. Surprised. Really well developed. Seems like they have remodelled a lot.

[@billbuschgen520]

I would pick the Ft. Lauderdale area over Miami just for the less congestion. More peaceful but still plenty to do. You have the Brightline train to take you to Miami or North which is just a few blocks from the river walk.

[@kori86bobbyanna34]

a lot people smiling and waving

De fresco is a steakhouse but are known for their stone crab claws. It’s also a chain restaurant. They have locations in Miami, ft Lauderdale, one in Orlando, and one in Tallahassee somewhere. It’s kinda expensive too. It’s more of a date night restaurant really or an anniversary restaurant. Mike Chen went there once because it was the only thing open serving crab claws at 11 pm, it’s up on one of his channels.mike was doing a multi city tour for some city eats show and Miami was a stop so yeah. The restaurant has a Italian twist on food even though it’s a steakhouse. Honestly Fishbone is better as they do great local fish and steak plus it’s my default date night spot. They also do a full salad mixed at table side for you. Worth the price every time.

[@Chatsworth1979]

Very enjoyable, once I started I couldn't turn away. Watched it while breakfasting, a pleasure. +1

[@dolsiemercado3140]

Hello. What? Since the 1980’s that part of FortLauderdale has been in development. It is nice to see it looking like this. After the movie Great Expectations aired many people got curious where the mansion was ( I believe Fort Lauderdale ). It is said there is a lot of lightning strikes in Fort Lauderdale.

[@Tenebarum]

He’s taking about all the new high rises. It was nowhere near this level in the 80’s. It used to be sleepy and a good place to live even if you were poor.

[@Cmickey46]

Beautiful however I hope they are building just as much affordable housing for the people employed to service this area.

[@Tenebarum]

They aren’t. I’m being pushed out of S. Florida by the outrageous rent and housing costs. Left Ftl in 2015. Living there is just a dream now. I loved it there.

[@shaysceneftl]

Our City Commission and Fort Lauderdale CRA are working with developers and districts to identify, approve, fund and strategically coordinate the construction of new affordable housing options. Some are CIty & county housing authority, others tax-credit and income-restricted, some age-restricted.

[@AldermanFredCDavis]

I 'get' the appeal of Florida for some people, but every video I've seen of Miami, St. Petersburg, Fort Lauderdale, Tampa, etc., just makes Florida seem sterile and lifeless AF, I rarely see any of the beautiful women Florida is (supposedly) known for, the stifling near year-round humidity would not work for me, and neither would the omnipresent reptiles, insects, and wildlife. Admittedly, the city streets seem very clean by northeastern U.S. standards. Hopefully, that will continue.......as I have heard Florida referred to as NYC's 6th borough for quite some time. About 12 years ago, I spent a year in Tampa one week (it felt like a year). Same trip, we drove through downtown Miami at lunchtime on a weekday. Might as well have been Omaha, Nebraska with taller buildings and palm trees. About the only appealing place I've been to in Florida is Key West, and even that seems like it would get 'old' to me after about a month or so.

[@coffeepandacat]

San Diego is my favorite city so far in the US, it still beats anything in Fl.

[@AldermanFredCDavis]

@@coffeepandacat Never been to San Diego. At, or very near the top of my list would be San Francisco, despite its astronomical cost of living.

How beautiful are you? There is nothing sterile about Florida. It’s the opposite of sterile. This is one of the better maintained areas of the city.
