9:34..at the very end, you see 6th and Ave B. I lived up there on the 2nd floor with my boyfriend, Dominick Nugent. 1978. What a year that was!
-
I moved to Avenue B and 2nd St. in 1981. Amazing place, beautiful and terrifying. It was pretty much all over by 1996 or so.
-
when people actually looked at each other and engaged in impromptu interactions and not glued to their tiny little smart screens, ya dig?
-
Christmas time in the 70s were the best ever
-
RIP Lower East Side

Ms. Yung: Thank you for posting the documentary! I am a modern reflection, projection, of that generation...those that suffered "the slings and arrows" of Loisaida for a better future. I am here because of them! --Ivan Diaz, PhD

This is what makes it hard to leave, we literally rebuilt this neighborhood only to have it be sold to people who would never lift a finger to give anything back. I remember the garden that used to be on 8th between B and C, my mom was in there digging refrigerators out of the earth where peoples homes were burnt to the ground. The community worked hard to turn rubble into gardens and feed the neighborhood and have safe places for children to play and learn about nature. All that work and community, gone, and for what? Drunk shrieking yuppies who take everything and then leave.

Thanks for showing me what my old neighborhood used to look like.
-
Very valuable footage of the neighborhood.
-
brings back many memories .... thanks for the excellant footage

The cultural, artistic, diverse vibe is sadly gone. Check out "Manhattan's East Village-Three Decades of Madness" to relive the 60s-80s.

I live at 210 Thompson st.i remember these days.i learned alot.
-
Man what a place this must have been to live. I go up there now from Philly and am unimpressed with the whole city, compared to the stuff my family tells me they used to get into living up in NYC back in the day
-
I remember it well. I use to hang there on ave D, at my cousin Tommy's apt, smoking weed for days. Not a great thing of course to do for me these days, but those were different times and they were great. I had a blast! But I've grown up since. Thanks for the memories!

The dirt, The sleaze, The beauty.

When we use to say YA DIG ,you gotta miss the days man

-
I used to live in Loisaida but not for long, what good times i had there will always remain with me. At that time i was hanging with Wayne from Brooklyn.
-
Ah yes, the 70s and 80s when it seemed like half the city was a burned-out war zone. Still a better era than today in many ways however.
