I lived on Governors Island in the early 80's with my father when he was in the US Coast Guard. It was one of the most amazing places I ever lived. I want so much to visit NYC again and bring my own son to see the island.

The island under Queensboro is called Roosevelt Island, and we've done an episode on its vacuum-powered garbage tubes. Fascinating stuff! Search "Fast Trash" on YouTube to watch it if you haven't already.
I love this channel because I'd love to see NYC but I can't breathe in city air and I'm terrible with crowded places. So thanks Ella for bringing NYC to me :D
@MachuLawl Lol never even heard of it? Yeah you're a New Yorker alright. You know, I've never been to the Statue of Liberty? I guess we just take our city for granted, huh?
@ellamorton Haha, I see. Perhaps I was just over-eager to enjoy the interview. By far this is the most engaging and interesting of the Rocketboom channels, it makes me miss New York. Thanks for the personal response. :)

Governors Island, because wasting taxpayer's money on cures for cancer and alternative energy are just boring.

Cool. Looks interesting. I should've visited it when I was last in NY.
"adults need to play too" - totally agree. I think too many adults lose the ability to play when they enter adulthood.
