What's the area of 11th and South Ave like. There's an old church and school there.

[DrFunky4]

You can actually look at it now with google maps. With the little yellow man. :-) "Just type in 11th and South Ave Niagara Falls New York"

Alicia Keys did the first song

[DrFunky4]

What they should have done was moved the industry outside of the city instead of directly inside it, AND developed the waterfront. But instead they developed the industry ALONG the waterfront.

[DrFunky4]

People moved out which left the houses abandoned. And they burned down either because of vandals, homeowners that wanted the insurance money, or homeless that would sleep in them and start a fire in the house to keep warm.

Once again very well done! I can't imagine the hours you put into this project.  It shows that this is topic that is very close to your heart...and that makes for a GREAT video. You're very talented!

[DrFunky4]

The sad thing is alot of these houses would be beautiful if they were renovated

[1988scottcarey]

@shannon75

the entire city isn't like this. I lived there in very nice, well kept neighborhoods, nice homes. there are still nice neighborhoods and nice homes. Many have expanded to the outskirts.

@DrFunky4

stupid city management, money changers.

[BlackHart814]

Looks like Detroit to me.

[ocean2026]

Thanks DrFunky. I had looked on Google Earth and that street and a few near all looked pretty good , but I was told plenty of times that it was not a nice area.

Good Video!
