A Trip To Canarsie
Loading...
Uploaded by avidvid on Mar 12, 2009
Recently, my wife and I took a drive back to Canarsie, Bklyn. She wanted to see where I grew up. So here is a little film I made, intercut with some old footage I had shot in the 70s. This is for all of you Canarsians out there.

Canaries is better now you can get crack heroin coke and weed all on the same street corner

@avidvid Although this doesn't have much to do per se with Canarsie, I noticed you went to go eat at the kings plaza diner during this nostalgia trip. I am sad to inform you it has since closed down. Some of the awesome hangouts/businesses are no longer open or even exist anymore. I like you, grew up on the flatlands streets and have many fond memories of Avenue L. Canarsie has changed in its neighbors and culture, which is neither good nor bad, but we will always have our memories of our child

Thank you for this wonderful footage of My Old Canarsie! I lived on E 89th street and Ave L.. The Blocks were all related one way or another, wonderful Block parties everyone cooked Italian food.. Stick Ball.. Hand Ball, Jump rope with only 2 people.. I moved away in the 70's went back a few times for My Grandmother ( God Bless her Heart =( ) Recently went back 5 yrs ago.. Nearly broke my heart!!.. Canarsie movie theater was our place to be.. This video made me smile Cry too. Thank you .

Just for the record, when I made this film a little over a year ago, it was for pure nostalgia, I had not been back in about 20 yrs. It was never my intent to infer any racial overtones into it. I guess a lot of people take different things out of it.
