Fly on the wall video of Main Street, Municipal Parking lot, Roosevelt Avenue including buses, cars, people, local businesses, game arcade. Tape ends with a real time bus ride on the Q17 up Kissena Blvd as far as 45th Avenue.

How cool that you thought to do this back in 1994. It's like traveling back in time. Awesome!

You don't realize how much has changed until you see something like this. Doesn't seem that long ago, but life is very different.

This is seriously a gem. Back in those days there was no camera phones you had to carry a gigantic VH1 recorder lol that's what makes these old video so cool. I was born in 1985 I remember my mother taking me to Main Street all the time in the Early 90's all the department stores Sears they had a Diner in the basement. So many of the stores are gone I remember the wiz used to be there caldors dr jays ect.. I recently moved to Long Island a year ago but lived near flushing college point my whole life it's crazy how much it changed these days

How would I have known being a teenager in the 90's, that society would turn to crap 30 years later. Watching this video reminds me of a simpler time.

Awesome video!!! I lived across the street from the Botanical Gardens and then also in Skyline Towers from 93-96. This video is gold. Brought back so many memories. Thanks for sharing. I recognized so much from this video. I live out in Cali now and recently went back to visit for the first time since 96. The feel and sound of Flushing is still the same but the stores and everything else are completely different. Thank you so much for video bro.

Born ('73) and raised in Brooklyn. Have a friend that used to lived in Flushing with his family back in the 80s/90s. I visited them, often, during the 90s. It was a lot less crowded and more diverse back then. Just moved to Flushing, myself, six months ago, and I'm thinking about leaving Flushing once my lease is up in June. It's just too crowded here. Crime is up, and it's happening too close to where I live. Citizen app has been going off like crazy since I moved here (just got two alerts as I'm typing this). And there's only one supermarket in the neighborhood that has American food items. All of the other "food stores" are Asian. Flushing just has a weird vibe, now, compared to the vibe it had back in these days.

I lived in Flushing from 1989 to 2016 and if I can choose a year to see a recording like this, it’d be 1994. In ‘94 my grandparents moved us to 42-45 Kissena (Park Hill co-op at
