This posted video, “40 Years in 3 Minutes” takes a look at some NYC moments in history while synched to The Beatles’ GET BACK and GLASS ONION. Also includes some 8mm film antics from 1971. Enjoy.

[AC4Realz]

so then whats the most preffered or, maybe best place to live in new york? manhattan, bronx, etc.? just curious cuz before i visited new york city i always thought it was dangerous and crazy. but its not, its just crazy in a good way. but i never really got to see the so called "ghetto" part of NY, or more like the areas away from downtown.

[Anon7771]

@AC4Realz There ain't really a ghetto in New York.

[Lindseyadam]

@Anon7771 NY meaning manhattan, what about hells kitchen, or Harlem? I guess thats not the ghetto?

[Anon7771]

@Lindseyadam Ghettos,as in where very poor homeless people make shacks in. There are none of those in New York. Ghetto,as in an ethnic neighborhood,then yes,a lot.

[Lindseyadam]

@Anon7771 What does ethnicity have to do with the ghetto? And what about the South Bronx, Bed Stuy,Brownsville, Queensbridge the list goes on and on. Hell yeah NYC has ghettos just like every other city in the US. Come on know live in reality.

[Anon7771]

@Lindseyadam What does ghetto mean to you?

'So many people, so much life,' and how! Forget the touristy 'I Heart NY' tripe. In my estimation urban environments are by far the best for those with a real passion for living. I love nature too, which is why when I decide to visit I always bypass the suburbs. City or country, urban or rural, a suburb is just a place to grab some food and gas up on the way in either direction.

[DFDalton1962]

I disagree with you about suburbs. I live in a far NW Chicago suburb. I can be downtown in an hour when I want. But I can also hike in a forest preserve less than a mile from my house, take a bike ride on a trail that runs from Aurora up to the Wisconsin border and from Maywood out to DeKalb. Shopping is convenient, you don't have to pay to park. And since I can afford a single family home out here I can play Mahler on the stereo at 2am if I want. Try that in a downtown condo.

[TigerRocket]

There are areas to crank Mahler 24/7 right where I live in Brooklyn. Peaceful and quiet at night and only a walk away from some local nightlife. Manhattan has the same amenities in many areas as well. Drive or train for an hour out of Manhattan or Brooklyn or half hour out of the Bronx and one can climb the Palisades, drive or boat along the Hudson Valley, spend a day in the woods of Bear Mountains or Harriman and visit lakes or the Atlantic ocean, Coney Island, NJ, Connecticut and more.

[DFDalton1962]

I must ask you for driving directions next visit to Brooklyn. "An hour out of Brooklyn" usually puts me in a traffic jam on Canal Street. I won't argue with you though; we each have apparently found the right balance for ourselves. For me, it's occassional pleasure trips downtown (Chicago) and a laid back suburban lifestyle. You like to be in the heart of the action and take the occassional trip out into the country. To each his own.

I do enjoy visiting NYC a couple times a year though.

[TigerRocket]

Cities, by their natures, are not really built for cars. The subway gets me to Met North (Rail lines) in under 30 min. From there, 1 to 2 hours in any direction will lead to 'small town' New England, villages of Long Island, even the Bronx ($2.00) has City Island (a must for those who think all cities are urban everywhere and all of the time). Cars are great but it sounds like you might not consider an adventure without one. Hope I'm wrong.

Cheers

meu sonho :) NYC PERFEITO

[stervise]

New York City has way to many tall buildings and is so invested with so many people that it feels likes being trapped in a very tall small box,its even hard to get your own space without walking in some huge crowd.New York is nice in all every time I visit it,but I always think to myself how could any person want to live in this city,no offense to the ones that do.

[TigerRocket]

stervise-

When visitors think of NY they think of Manhattan. When New Yorker's think of NY they think 5 boroughs. 42nd Street is a myth. Real city life takes place outside of major areas of attraction.

Living in the city is different to visiting. The rhythm and the space of New York take time to learn. There is as much space and quiet as there is noise and congestion. You just need to know where to go.

[DFDalton1962]

My sister lives in Brooklyn, not far from Prospect Park, and it has been getting very trendy there lately. There are some very nice quiet areas in Brooklyn, along with the noisy, congested ones. I'd almost prefer living there to Manhattan (even if I could afford it).

I was in new york in 2005, I'll never forget that city and i for sure will go back

[Soccerislife686]
