As a Newarker who is a disabled senior, I can't get to these wonderful places like I used to, so thank you ActionKid for bringing it all back home (as Dylan would say lol) Seeing Penn Station again where I got the train each week then each month was a real treat. I worked for years in Military Park, lived nearby too, and now in the Lincoln Park area I enjoy all the benefits of my incredible city. We've progressed and improved over the years and just keep getting better.

Bro it was Christmas time & I was at penn station waiting for the bus to visit fam in another state. I had cash on me just in case & homeless guy helpee me find wherey bus would be & he asked for cash. I thought giving him money was the right thing given he was talking about family bs. He ended up buying pills in front of me & spilling some on the floor. I felt like such a dumbass.

I can remember Kareem, Mustafa......all on Branford Place Friday evening buying suits and getting ready to go and see Tommy Hearns and Marvin Hagler. The city is gripped with excitement in anticipation for the big fight. As I walk out the haberdashery onto the street, I hear the Whispers' Lost and Turned Out blaring from a passing car. "Wanna buy a bean pie?" a slender Muslim brother asks. "Yes sir!" I answer. "I'll take two and I'll take a Muhammad Speaks."

I was born and raised here, I'm still living here. One positive thing I can say is that gentrification is taking a big toll on the cities residents now, who can't really afford it. I just hope when its well gentrified I just hope there's still a piece of pie left for the people who are less fortunate in the inner urban areas in the city.

Hell my best friend who's half German,has a German father who moved from Germany, and lives in Newark still speaking fluent German.(not to mention he lives in a black neighborhood) And that goes for many white teachers,City Hall members,and sportsman (jersey devil's) who live in the city. don't go spreading racists lies about my city and it's people rather they be black or white.

[@grasmereguy5116]

Thanks, ActionKid. I've enjoyed many of your videos that show me neighborhoods of many boroughs in NYC that I haven't visisted, as well as my home borough of Staten Island (once you went right past my house and cauight my sister going down the steps at the Grasmere train station) and of course other cities in the USA and around the world. The next time you are back in the NY metro area from FLa., since you have done Newark and Jersey City, you should also check out Elizabeth and Bayonne. Although I'm a Staten Islander, I attended a yeshiva school in Elizabeth for a couple of years; I think you'd enjoy a walk in the Elmora section, which I revisited yesterday after an absence of many years. (Some things have changed, notyably the Elmora movie theater is gobne now, some things have remaiend the same). It's a vibrant mix of Orthodox Jewish businesses, Latin Americans, Afghanis and others. Check it out. I've ridden mny bike in Bayonnne a gbit and I like it too. Places I'd like to explore with a downtown core are Perth Amboy (never really been) and maybe Weehawken, Union City, Fort Lee---? A walk across the GW from Washington Heights to Fort Lee sounds like a cool trip, have you done that yet? (I'llhave to check your archive.)
