isnt rockaway a bad neighborhood now?

[SupaSix1]

@gangsterpeople4life

No...Rockaway is a great neighbourhood. Like with all, there are good & bad parts. Lets use 116St as a guide. If u go lower than 116St..it gets rough as u start to see the projects/ghettos to Far Rockaway. Anything above 116thSt is getting richer. Either way the generally the island is great. The people on the whole are great too. Rockaway beach is very close to my heart. Peace Rockaway Beach & all my friendly locals there...see u all soon.

@gangsterpeople4life ; Well, above 126th street is great. Below that, starts rooming houses and drug addicts. Once you go down to 76 street, may as well napalm it and do it over.

frhs class of '60.

am sorry to see 'welcome to far-rock' in the related videos. did someone say demise of a great neighborhood?

[doowopkid]

You're welcome Larry. These are times long gone but not easily forgotten. Just trying to keep some of our fondest memories alive. Although the "old" neighborhood has now faded into obscurity, our memories continue to linger on ...

Hi, I'm 34 and from Inwood. This is a great video. Thanks for posting. I remember B17 th in the 80s on Friday and Saturday nights. I can't imagine what Farockaway was like in the 30s,40's. Something needs to be done to change all this killing etc. Rockaway is like it's own "world" and no one cares about it. I mean politicians anyway..

[doowopkid]

Hey Sitro74,

If you are from Inwood then I'm sure I've seen you from time to time. I hung out at Beach 17 back then also. Remember Johnnies? Rockaway was a great town up through the 70's That's why I made this video. I wanted everyone to FlashBack to good days gone by. Thank you for the feedback!

Tony,

Great stuff. Saw a name in the credits that I remembered from Dayton Beach "Reeva Pearlman". I knew her younger brother Bennet. Once again, thanks for the great memories.
