When the Irish came to Inwood that’s my family that settled there Dykman Street, my grandmother grew up on a mini farm on Staff Street which was called C Street way back in the day. Some family members stayed there all their life but most of us crossed over the Hudson to the Jersey side

Really nice video journalism. This is the Inwood that I knew. I moved uptown from Morningside Heights in 1986. My rent for a decent 1-bedroom at 261 Seaman Ave. at that point was $330 a month. When I moved out 16 years later, in 2002, it was $600/month. Definitely a tripartite division between older Irish, younger Dominican, and multiculti/Anglo bohemians like me. (The old Irish folks slowly died off, but the bars remain, and Good Shepherd school.) Urban, serviced by subways, but also "country." Racoons wandering out of the woods; wild pheasants up there in the hills, too, that would startle the joggers. I just visited the old neighborhood two weeks ago. My super, Eggie, was still there, 13 years after I left. The Indian Road Cafe serves a heck of a nice sandwich; I only wish it had been there when I was a resident. I still remember the day back in the early 1990s when the owner of the bodega on that same corner location was shot dead. Nice guy; Domincan, a family man, quiet and peaceful. Somebody robbed the place and the robbery went bad. One morning I walked down to the park and found somebody's car up on jacks with all four wheels and tires gone. The neighborhood always had shadows and the occasional murder; it would be a mistake to sanitize--and this video doesn't. One of the great (and still semi-unknown) NYC neighborhoods. I'm glad I got 16 years there.

Yup, I grew up in Inwood 74-92. My mom was a 50 year resident. We all went to GSS. But the 70s took a turn for the worst and nothing will fix Inwood. Sad to see a neighborhood go down the tubes because the newcomers who pretty much ruined it.

Enjoyed the video. Interesting that the same division exists, east vs west sides of Broadway, that existed when I grew up in the neighborhood. I lived on the east side, closer to 10th avenue with the El train, and was predominantly Irish , while the west side, with nicer housing, closer to the parks, etc was predominantly Jewish. It seems that most coops are on the west side and rental properties on the east side. Always was, and still is, a great neighborhood, no matter who's living there.=)

This video is so far from the truth smh. The truth is that everyone in NYC knows “Inwood” aka Washington heights or the Heights for its Dominican population and for getting drugs lol. Seriously since the 70s,80s and still today you can go up there and get the best weed or coke for the best prices 🤷🏻♂️. Ask any Brooklyn drug dealer where they get there stuff from if you don’t believe me 😂😂. And how come not one Dominican was interviewed meanwhile they account for over 80% of “Inwood”s population?
