Woww this was everything! Thank you!!! Got watery eyes! 🥺🥺🥺🥺

Nice job Jose! I grew up on 38th Avenue between 111th & 114th Streets. I went to P.S. 143. My family is Black. Growing up our neighbors were Italian and Black and then Spanish folks moved in. We had a couple where the husband was Chinese and the wife was Black. Everyone got along and it was idyllic. We knew every family, by name, on the block. As a pre and then teen I would go with my friends to the Aquacade in the summer and ice skating in the winter. Looking back we din't realize how special it was to live so close to Flushing Meadows Park. I remember my dad taking us to the 1964 World's Fair. I was 5 years old and still remember it! My favorite thing was the Panoroma. Citi Field will always be Shea Stadium to me. LOL! When I saw the Silvercup sign, I was right back in my dad's station wagon going over the "59th Street" Bridge smelling the bread. My parents house was torn down and replaced with apartment buildings twice. I live in New Jersey now, but New York and especially Corona, will always be home to me. Thanks for bringing back so many fond memories!

Hi, I grew up in Corona, Queens. 1970-2005 . 99-26 41st Avenue. I attended PS 19, JHS 73, IS 61, and John Bowne High School. Great memories.

Good old memories, that was my home town also.went Flushing High school. Back 1979.❤

Bringing back memories. I grew up in Corona and lived right across the street from PS 19. I spent a lot of time in Flushing Meadows park. Lived in Corona from 1969 till 1989.

I left my heart in Corona.

I lived in Corona and went to Newton High School, class of 1986.

Born in Spanish Harlem but raised in corona queens 111st and 37av I love my neighborhood been here since 94 n still living here

Thank you for reminisce my hometown I miss queens… stay on 99 northern blvd n walk up da street where Roy Rogers was there n da park where is long swings paddleball n basketball …I remember by da globe it was like a water park in da early 90s n da lights of old shea stadium 🏟 will always be memorable 🥹

I grew up on Corona Avenue and went to the 64-65 Worlds Fair It was a promise of tomorrow that sadly never arrived, Corona went from bring Irish to Italian to Black and Puerto Rican between the early 60's to the early 70's. It has gain changed out of all recognition aside from Flushing Meadows-Corona Park. The #7 got you into Manhattan in 30 minutes. La Guardia was on the doorstep. The BQE made getting to Brooklyn a breeze not necessarily where you wanted to go too often. Is Flushing Creek still polluted? Haven't walked there in 40 years. It is not the Corona I knew as a kid. But everything changes when it's all you know and years have passed. Corona was a good start. P.S.14 the starting point. Our playground is forever gone. Big Boy Burgers are now a block of apartments.

I was born in the Bronx and when I was about 1 years old I started to live in Corona and grew up there that’s the neighborhood that raised me and I moved to Massachusetts in 2019. I used to go to school is P.S 28, Our Lady of Sorrows and Civic Leadership Academy. I also played baseball in Hinton Park (114), Lindon Park (104) and Flushing Meadows Park (111). I still go once in a while and when I go back it feels good to be back home.

Well done Jose. I took a drive to my old neighborhoods in corona last weekend. I grew up on 99st and 41 ave. Then the neighborhood next st. Leo’s. I spent many years there like you.

This is a blast from the past. I use to go to school at p.s 143, and then to school 19. This is going back to mid 70’s. I would like to thank you for bring my childhood memories. 🙂

I think the 7 line in nyc is heart of corona since it goes to flushing and parks at corona yard

Corona was a popular place back then!!!

Amazing content🤩you deserve more recognition💪🏾

I’m glad that I live in corona If the pandemic ends than can’t wait for circo hermano Vásquez in Shea stadium or Mets willets point or citi field

I grew up in Ridgewood but unfortunately live in California now. Going to move to Lancaster PA in a couple of years and can't wait to see Queens again. P.S Let's go Mets

Loved this ❤️

My hometown too!

Corona is good for its walkability( Corona park) however it’s not so safe so I chose to live in Rego Park instead.

My old neighborhood, I grew up there as well. PS 19 and IS 227.

Would loves tour of my hometown, Glendale!

the name of this in 2020 is legendary 👌😂

I like the video Great Job 👌

Corona by 111 is nicer and more spacious with green space. By 103, the city has let get dirty and unkept.

Good job!!

You forgot the indigenous people Matinnecocks and the famous like Loius Armstrong.

Great video.

19 Fam born in corona queens

Might visit this place someday

G Rap!

U forgot something...before the Dominicana...there was PR baby

BORN AT ELMHURST HOSPITAL!

Just finished a week & a half long trip all over the Mid-Atlantic last month… on paper, staying in North Jersey off the corner of I-80 & the Parkway the 2.5 days I explored NYC seemed like the better idea… but in hindsight, I probably should’ve stayed in either Queens or Brooklyn if I could’ve found the best hotel for the price. Why? Because what little time I had in NYC, I personally wanted to see Corona Park. But given the weather the Sunday of memorial day weekend, me taking a lengthy detour when realizing the MTA train out of the WTC mall wasn’t running on holidays but PATH was just trying to get back to Midtown … AFTER I swiped onto the platform… you get the idea. The 9/11 memorial, Top of the Rock, Empire State Building, much less Central Park certainly didn’t disappoint though. Despite the THICK clouds said day…

im from corona queens

i went to ps 19

Did you go to Newtown High School?
