Bro that kid is walking around NY like its his living room.Zero fucks given
-
This footage from 1987 is still better quality than most CCTV cameras today.
-
This is a piece of history right here. Nothing short of a masterpiece. Nothing too special just a moment in time captured.
-
No cell phones... apparently they used spray paint to communicate back then
-
a person coming onto this train from japan would have a heart attack

My dad was born and raised in NY. These videos describe NY exactly how my dad said it was during the 70’s and 80’s. ❤
-
This footage is a valuable piece of history.
-
this is why it's so important to take videos, even of seemingly meaningless things like a subway ride because watching this is like stepping into a time machine
-
No cell phones. No social media. Just great hair and cocaine. Ahh the 80s
-
i love how VHS renditions try to be as low quality as it can be but when i look at VHS from the actual era, they seem pristine and recognizable
-

Shirtless guy is probably immune to everything at this point in life
-
Safe to say whoever that shirtless boy is now.. he is definitely immune from the coronavirus
-
Lol NYC was so fckin dirty in the 70’s and 80’s and we just accepted it.
-
I am from Brooklyn and rode this train every single day! What a flashback! 😊
-
Wtf my wallet was stolen while watching this.
-
And amusing to remember that the guy filming was walking around with a 5 pound plastic box the size of a loaf of bread on his shoulder the whole time.

My heart is literally aching with joy! I made this trek from Queens from 1980 to 1987. The fun we had! Far Rockaway and Coney Island were the places to be! Great video! By the way, several things I love about this video.... First, this looks like such a fun NY group of kids! Mostly, I love that no one is on a damn cellphone. They are connected to each other and not to a damn phone!

I'm so glad I clicked on this video! What a cast of characters, I mean, you could have written a broadway musical about this trip alone!! Thanks for posting this absolute jem!
