⁴ᴷ⁶⁰ Walking the Bronx: Fordham & Little Italy with a Resident (August 14, 2020)

[@flyfly2850]

As an Italian American in FL. (but first generation) I found this video heartwarming...like listening an uncle's story and walking through his life...fantastic. Thank you.

[@edwinjimenez3802]

How are the cannolis in Florida ? Many Blessings grew up with Italians many moons ago in the old Bronx

[@theronin]

is specially heartwarming the part where he states how the italians would gather in Cicarone handball court to discuss how they would clean up the neighborhood from the undesirables. very heartwarming.

[@mfitzpat74]

I could listen to Rich Mancuso talking about New York all day.

[@AA6236]

Wonderful stories from the friendly sir. Its lovely to hear other people's memories and see the place through their eyes. Thank you, Very nice walk.

[@lilianafox7401]

Well he did grow up there

[@AaxXxeE54]

Hello guys! What think about this walking? kzbin.info/www/bejne/qHfEo4eApb-Xn6M

[@DarnellLynch]

Ahh hmmm.. not to take away from this guy. He literally passed a grip of history from Marion Ave until he got to JHS 45. There is no Columbus statue there, it was moved in the 90s to a park by saint barn.

[@ErNoVa2112]

Ummmm ,,, Bestbuy on Webster ave was Sears for many years,,

[@Richard-lw2gr]

Yes Rich is like a diccionary , he knows everythings of bronx. Very smart this man.

[@kabirpour]

I loved this stream with Mr. Rich Mancuso. Thanks, AK, "Kenny," "Kid," for inviting him. This is exactly the type of learning about NYC is what I appreciate the most.

[@Fogmaster1990]

You should bring him back for a part 2!!! I want to his old childhood block. I like his stories!

[@cromano88]

For sure you have to have him back for part 2 , he knows this place like no other ..

[@judithhinton5784]

Great neighborhood stories by Rich Mancuso. I loved when he took you inside his church and was talking about the street where he grew up. Reminds me of my childhood home on the Lower East Side...very special memories. Thank you, AK for posting!

[@ActionKid]

You're welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed the video!

[@Mewyee1]

I love this! Listening to stories from older people is so interesting... they know and they lived it... true history! I love his Bronx accent! Thanks 😊 🧐❤️

[@maxi2364]

I could listen to this guy all day long. Well done AK, really interesting walk.

[@ActionKid]

I'll be featuring him on the channel again soon!

[@edershoff2337]

@@ActionKid Yeah, that is pretty good, very much looking forward

[@jacobtshering3768]

AK is so nice to see you have got Friends like Mr. Rich of Bronx, New York who not only has the knowledge about the Burrows where he lives but knows every inch of happenings that takes place in Bronx including what kind of Atmosphere exists in each different Lanes of this great Burrows. Thank you Mr Rich for your kind input which surely has taken us here more deep into what Bronx Truely means to you and the People that live there. Truely I must confess that Bronx has Great People and Great History behind its Existence in this Greatest City on Planet Earth has ever seen in this Modern Era of the 21 st Century. Wish you Mr Rich Good Health and A Long and Happy Life. Thank you AK. for bringing in Friends like Mr Rich on your streams. Good Luck and stay safe. Ananda& friends. Kathmandu, Nepal

[@大叔的退休生活]

so nice having a local expert to walk with, knows all the details and history

[@walstan864]

Fantastic! Mr. Mancuso is a treasure. Making education fun. Good work!

Yea it's cool to learn about someone else and their experiences.

[@danielitsasecret5646]

Ak, love the stories from these old timers, you could turn it into a series. I met an old timer once in central park and talked to the gentlemen for about an hour, he had a lot of great stories from the past about manhattan and central park, I really enjoyed the talk with the gentlemen.

[@ssadvweld1]

I met a woman at Grand Central who had worked there for years. She told me about all the secrets years before folks started making KZbin videos.

[@LouGrant999]

And he enjoyed the talk with you.

[@TheDeextra]

Yes please do a series!

[@mariohall1179]

Action Kid, you simply rock! Thank you for another great video log of my beloved New York with Rich Mancuso, an awesome guest.

[@omarzagmuttcahbar4896]

One of the best walking tours ever!. Mr. Mancuso was a fantastic storyteller and guide and you a nice and respectful young man who let him lead the tour for this time.

[@buminkarakun6843]

Great neighborhood, very special memories by Rich Mancuso Thanks again to both of you.

[@D_Ortiz23]

I love this so much. I went to Christopher Columbus High School. I was a small kid growing up in the Belmont section of the Bronx in the 90s & I remember how different it was even then from what it’s like now. Thank you AK. This was a nice tour of my old neighborhood.

[@elijah3996]

I’m in Christopher Columbus high rn

[@theronin]

I grew up on Hughes ave, in fron tof the library, is specially heartwarming the part where he states how the italians would gather in Cicarone handball court to discuss how they would clean up the neighborhood from the undesirables. very heartwarming.

[@Avenue72nd]

I have not walked on Fordamn in years... Good to see it again. Great tour to you both.

[@ssadvweld1]

This was awesome! We're going to need a part 2 as he seems to have a lot more to say and share.

[@RazzleDazzle786]

I love this walk! What a nice man. He knows so much about the Bronx and his stories were wonderful!

[@dorothymerrell6091]

I’m really enjoying this video, Mr. Mancuso is so knowledgeable about the neighborhood I guess because he’s lived there. What Is it about mothers, when he was talking about his mother calling him my mom was the same. I swear mothers know how to make their voices be heard for a long way.

[@abdobouchareb6791]

I really liked this old timer, he knows the bronx like the back of his hand and, he's a very good storyteller. Respect to him.

[@JJJBRICE]

That's a great idea by AK to get a neighborhood " insider " to accompany him on this tour . A great idea to do far a way places like Staten Island .

[@sherylleelee]

A different type of video. It's very calming and his remanissing is nice. I liked the history.

[@arjivar]

I like this kind of video testimony because cities are not just buildings but people and their stories. He keeps inviting people like this gentleman who enrich the walk. Good job, AK!

[@relicmine]

I never miss a show, my favorites are the walks. This one in the Bronx is on of the best.

[@sswan9689]

Oh lawd, remember shopping at Alexander's and Dollar Savings Bank and the Paradise movie theatre. By the time I moved to the Bronx, the movie theater was already closed. Good times! Sears was at Fordham & Webster Ave. Used to shop there to.

[@michaeljacobs4546]

I had an apartment near Fordham Road close to the metro north station when I was in graduate school in the early 90s.

[@jaheim_theboss7167]

Good old days and it was heart warming to see him seeing his old friends he haven’t seen for a long time. If I go back home I’ll cry I feel it I have to go back to East New York Brooklyn. And that church omggg sooo good that things are still there. It was upsetting to see that the wall with the flag for peace is gone but I do wish this was live I loved this video.

[@mjl5497]

Appreciate that you make the effort to be inclusive by bringing a diversity of viewpoints to your channel. Enjoyed Mr. Mancuso's stories of growing up in this neighborhood and the changes he's witnessed over the decades. This makes me wonder what transformations will take place in the next 3-4 decades.

[@southbronxpapi9632]

As a kid I lived in east treamont and the concourse and used to walk with my dad to Fordham road abs back and what’s funny was we were walking by Fordham University once and since the campus is so big I thought it was a park and tried to get it and was stopped by security Funny how decades later I graduated from there ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@kimdowe148]

Wow! Really enjoyed this tour... Really wonderful when you have guests who grew up in areas!

[@jjpoets]

Thoroughly enjoyed this Bronx walk with the stories and perspective from Rich Mancuso, AK!

[@JaZaarMercury]

Good stuff! NYC is so much more than just Times Square or lower Manhattan.

[@freespirit6209]

Living history indeed, as Mr. Shugert says below. Wonderful extra dimension for the channel. Thanks to both of you!

[@wwedivas2011]

Oh my gosh I remember Fordham, I was born at the Bronx and I had some young memories when I was a young child living in the bronx back in the early 90's and I remember shopping at Fordham so much discount store and also I have family in the Bronx from my father side of the family, which I'm not connected with them anymore but now I live in New Jersey and rise in NJ NOW!

[@Bxconnect]

I used to read this guy’s column when I was growing up. I didn’t know he, like me, was from the Bronx.

[@4659rockintensity]

that was an great video you made actionkid! its nice to see the city from the perspective of a new yorker whos been here all his life! keep up the good work!

[@sandycrispin]

We did a lot of shopping at Alexanders. I still go to Fordahm when i visit. Love the Bronx.

[@cashtimevideo1501]

Fantastic.... 😍. Thank you Ken, and my thanks to Rich too! We 'older' guys do have a lot of happy memories, but the most enjoyment comes from sharing them with others 😊

[@Valencenliberty]

hi, love our walking tour, so interesting, he's so interesting love to hear the mafia stories and knowing the neighbourhood thanks for having him along

[@AmarsVlog]

This vlog is so nice.... Walking with the local resident and sharing his old experience the entire conversation between both of you so nice .. Very good informative vlog and i like it.

[@mikee1449]

Rich is awesome, keep bringing him back !

[@CSharkBytes]

I also graduated in 1975 from high school. My dad who was from Brooklyn was born in 1927 used to tell stories about Brooklyn all his life. Much the same as Rich. I enjoyed this vid. Even when he got some things wrong it was right. It is always good to see the world thru someone else's eyes.

[@anthonyshaw1002]

Born and raised in the Bronx and now live out of state. Soundview, Lambert and Co-op city., Rice High school. When me and my best friend who was Puerto Rican would go through Little Italy to meet our other friend who was Italian, This is the late 70's. We would get stopped all the time and have to give his name before they would let us continue. Good times in NYC. Thank you Ak

[@oomybeauty]

Hi AK great tour in the Bronx! Nice very cool!

[@EphemeralProductions]

Tell Rich I said thank you! This was an awesome tour! I was riveted, nearly the whole time. LOL was good to see the kitty, she was cute.

[@jscot4419]

Loved this episode! Watched ever second. That was very informational. Would like to see more from that area. Arthur Ave looks like my kinda place!

[@johnfritz8675]

I grew up in Fordham. There are so many positive comments I have about this video . The one thing I will comment on now is. That you said at the end of this video is that Arthur Ave was a safe place, and the locals were protected. Yes, they were, my grandmother lived on Hoffman. She told me how the locals were safe and trouble in general just did not happen there. You could go out late night or early morning not a problem you were safe. Great video.

[@mynewyork165]

I used to live on Fordham Rd & Grand Concourse. There's so much history in that neighborhood that the folks living there have a hard time understanding & appreciating.

[@simusocat]

this time I learn more about NY than ever before! Thank you great work all his beautiful people in good mood. greetings to NY from germany

[@everose78]

This was extremely nostalgic for me to watch, especially the little Italy segment part. I raised my kids there, so many memories walking through all those neighborhoods and just reminiscing on the good times.❤️

[@LouGrant999]

Living history and a $50 free tour. Takes me back to a world gone away. Seems like yesterday.

[@maureenculbreath]

Great video....I love hearing about how things were there years ago

[@karenbrazier4571]

Loved hearing Rich's stories.. Would like to hear his stories about his neighbourhood where he grow up... Thank you...

[@BelcantoLola]

Absolutely loved this video. Rich was a great guide. I just wanted to add that RKO was demolished in 1987. I remember the last time I went to the RKO on a regular basis was 1983. Also, I realized that he didn’t mention Woolworth’s on Fordham RD. I moved out of the Bronx in 1991. What an amazing blast from the past for me. Thank you!

[@KimEB-m84]

Thanks AK. Appreciate this perspective from a resident of NY.

Wanting to thank you for taking me down memory lane. Saw your video of Coop City and I am watching this one on tv right now. Lived in both around Fordham ( 193 between Webster and Decatur) and in Coop City back in the 70s and 80s. Live in Florida now but great to see the Bronx again!
