Veterans Day Four Corners Ceremony Patchogue Village 11/11/15
Patchogue Village celebrated Veterans Day with a ceremony honoring America's veterans on the Four Corners Main St. on 11/11/15. This video is believed to be the only known video of an entire ceremony held in Patchogue Village that can be seen online.
A gray day, the rain having just ended, cool, and breezy and yes at times that rustling sound heard is the wind blowing over the camera mic. Despite that occasional noise speakers can be plainly heard.
In order of events: opening prayer, the Patchogue-Medford school band plays the Star Spangled Banner, various speakers from Veteran groups address the crowd of several hundred people who have gathered to see the event. Patchogue Village Mayor Pontieri begins a series of short speeches following the speeches from the Veteran groups leaders. He is followed by Suffolk County Leg. Rob Calarco, and Brookhaven Town Councilperson Neil Foley.
One more speech, then an honor guard ceremony, guns fired in salute to the playing of Taps, one more prayer, some more music from the Patchogue Medford school band, some more comments, the delegation from the Patchogue Fire Department is recognized along with two veterans holding up a large American flag behind them, end comments and the ceremony closes.
This video and narrative provided by John Bogack. All camera footage is hand held.
Billy Joel - Say Goodbye To Hollywood (VH1 Beat-Club - Musikladen Show)
William Martin Billy Joel (born May 9, 1949) is an American musician and pianist, singer-songwriter, and classical composer. Since releasing his first hit song, Piano Man, in 1973, Joel has become the sixth best-selling recording artist and the third best-selling solo artist in the United States, according to the RIAA.
Joel had Top 40 hits in the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s; achieving 33 Top 40 hits in the United States, all of which he wrote singlehandedly. He is also a six-time Grammy Award winner, a 23-time Grammy nominee and has sold over 150 million records worldwide.[3] He was inducted into the Songwriter's Hall of Fame (1992), the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (1999), the Long Island Music Hall of Fame (2006) and the Hit Parade Hall of Fame (2009). Joel retired from recording pop music in 1993 but continues to tour (often with Elton John).
Joel was born in The Bronx, New York and raised in Hicksville, New York. His father, Howard (born Helmuth), was born in Germany as the son of German-Jewish merchant and manufacturer Karl Amson Joel who, after the advent of the Nazi regime, emigrated to Switzerland and later to the United States. Billy Joel's mother, Rosalind Nyman, was born in England to a Jewish family (Philip and Rebecca Nyman). His parents divorced in 1960, and his father moved to Vienna, Austria. Billy has a sister, Judith Joel, and a half-brother, Alexander Joel, who is an acclaimed classical conductor in Europe, currently chief musical director of the Staatstheater Braunschweig.
Joel's father was an accomplished classical pianist. Billy reluctantly began piano lessons at an early age, at his mother's insistence; his teachers included the noted American pianist Morton Estrin and musician/songwriter Timothy Ford. His interest in music, rather than sports, was a source of teasing and bullying in his early years. (He has said in interviews that his piano instructor also taught ballet. Her name was Frances Neiman, and she was a Juilliard trained musician. She gave both classic piano and ballet lessons in the studio attached to the rear of her house, leading neighborhood bullies to mistakenly think he was learning to dance.) As a teenager, Joel took up boxing so that he would be able to defend himself. He boxed successfully on the amateur Golden Gloves circuit for a short time, winning twenty-two bouts, but abandoned the sport shortly after having his nose broken in his twenty-fourth boxing match.
Joel attended Hicksville High School, class of 1967. Joel however did not graduate from Hicksville. Due to playing at a piano bar, he was one English credit short of the graduation requirement; he overslept on the day of an important exam, owing to his late-night musician's lifestyle. He left high school without a diploma to begin a career in music. I told them, 'the hell with it. If I'm not going to Columbia University, I'm going to Columbia Records and you don't need a high school diploma over there'. Columbia did, in fact, become the label that eventually signed him. In 1992, he submitted essays to the school board and was awarded his diploma at Hicksville High's annual graduation ceremony, 25 years after he had left.
Upon seeing The Beatles on The Ed Sullivan Show in 1964, Joel decided to pursue a full-time musical career, and set about finding a local Long Island band to join. Eventually he found the Echoes, a group that specialized in British Invasion covers. The Echoes became a popular New York attraction, convincing him to leave high school to become a professional musician. He began playing for the Echoes when he was 14 years old. ~ SOURCE: Wikipedia

Many districts and landmarks in New York City have become well known, and the city received a record of nearly 60 million tourists in 2015,[51] hosting three of the world's ten most visited tourist attractions in 2013.[52] Several sources have ranked New York the most photographed city in the world.[53][54][55] Times Square, iconic as the world's heart[56] and its Crossroads,[57] is the brightly illuminated hub of the Broadway Theater District,[58] one of the world's busiest pedestrian intersections,[59][60] and a major center of the world's entertainment industry.[61] The names of many of the city's bridges, skyscrapers,[62] and parks are known around the world. Anchored by Wall Street in the Financial District of Lower Manhattan, New York City has been called both the most economically powerful city and the leading financial center of the world,[23][63][64][65][66][67] and the city is home to the world's two largest stock exchanges by total market capitalization, the New York Stock Exchange and NASDAQ.[68][69] Manhattan's real estate market is among the most expensive in the world.[70][71] Manhattan's Chinatown incorporates the highest concentration of Chinese people in the Western Hemisphere,[72][73] with multiple signature Chinatowns developing across the city.[74][75] Providing continuous 24/7 service,[76] the New York City Subway is one of the most extensive metro systems worldwide, with 469 stations in operation.[77][78][79] New York City's higher education network comprises over 120 colleges and universities, including Columbia University, New York University, and Rockefeller University, which have been ranked among the top 35 in the world.
Eastern edge of Flushing Meadows--Corona Park to The Unisphere
This video shows the route from the eastern edge of Flushing Meadows-Corona Park to The Unisphere. It was recorded on the morning commute of April 22, 2013. Turn on subtitles for turn-by-turn directions and park information.
Flushing Meadows--Corona Park is the home to the Playground for All Children, the Queens Theatre in the Park, the Queens Museum of Art, the Queens Wildlife Center, and the New York Hall of Science.
0:00:00 Begin on the sidwalk on the west side of the intersection of College Point Blvd. and Booth Memorial Ave.
0:00:15 Ride north on the sidewalk (mind the poor paving) and make the first left into the park, onto Fowler Path.
0:00:50 Make a slight left onto Avenue of Discovery 0.1 mi. The intersection ahead has car traffic without a stop sign so be careful.
0:01:41 Make a right onto Promenade of Industry (around Industry Pond) 0.1 mi
0:02:40 Turn right onto Herbert Hoover Promenade 0.2 mi
0:03:22 Make a slight turn around Astronaut Court and continue toward The Unisphere 0.2 mi
Flushing Meadows-Corona Park is currently the second largest park in New York (only behind Pelham Bay Park), though much of the usable land has been given to the MTA, private sport areanas, and other institutions. In the 1920's this land was the Corona Ash Dumps (coal-furnaces being the primary source of heat in houses) and was described as a valley of ashes in F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby. The area was cleared for the 1939/1940 World's Fair, with much of the refuse being used as fill for the construction of the Van Wyck Expressway, Interboro Parkway and Long Island Expressway.
The Playground for All Children (at the south-west of the Unisphere) was the first playground constructed in the United States for disabled and able-bodied children. City Agencies and advocacy groups for the disabled worked together to design a space to encourage social, cognitive, sensory and motor activity for children ages 3 to 12. The Gardenature and Nature Crafts Program teach children simple methods of conservation, the Arts and Crafts Program is designed to enhance self-expression and creativity, and The Sensitization Program helps able-bodied children better understand disabilities.
The Queens Theatre in the Park was originally the Theaterama during its use in the 1964 World's Fair. The space included observation towers and the Tent of Tomorrow, an open-air pavilion. It was originally decorated with art from artists including Andy Warhol and Robert Indiana. Audiences watched a 360 degree film about New York State history in a cycloramic (circular) room. The Cultural Institutions Group (nonprofit operators of the theater since 1997) focuses on productions that reflect the diverse nature of Queens, including a Latin American festival. The Queens Theatre hosts a variety of performance types, from Broadway revivals and new productions, to film festivals, performance art showcases, concerts and children's events.

Time Square
Times Square is a major commercial intersection and neighborhood in Midtown Manhattan, New York City, at the junction of Broadway and Seventh Avenue, and stretching from West 42nd to West 47th Streets.[1] Brightly adorned with billboards and advertisements, Times Square is sometimes referred to as The Crossroads of the World,[2] The Center of the Universe,[3] the heart of The Great White Way,[4][5][6] and the heart of the world.[7] One of the world's busiest pedestrian intersections,[8] it is also the hub of the Broadway Theater District[9] and a major center of the world's entertainment industry.[10] Times Square is one of the world's most visited tourist attractions, drawing an estimated 50 million visitors annually.[11] Approximately 330,000 people pass through Times Square daily, many of them tourists,[12] while over 460,000 pedestrians walk through Times Square on its busiest days.[7]
Formerly Longacre Square, Times Square was renamed in 1904 after The New York Times moved its headquarters to the newly erected Times Building, the site of the annual ball drop which began on December 31, 1907, and continues today, attracting over a million visitors to Times Square every New Year's Eve.[13]
Times Square is not a square in the geometric sense of a polygon, but is more of a bowtie shape, or two triangles emanating roughly north and south from 45th Street.[14] Duffy Square, the northernmost of Times Square's triangles, was dedicated in 1937 to Chaplain Francis P. Duffy of New York City's U.S. 69th Infantry Regiment and is the site of a memorial to him, along with a statue of George M. Cohan.

Driving Downtown - Brooklyn Skyscrapers 4K - New York City USA
Driving Downtown Streets - Myrtle Avenue - Brooklyn New York City NY USA - Episode 24.
Starting Point: Myrtle Avenue - .
Myrtle Avenue is a 8.0-mile-long (12.9 km) street that runs from the Flatbush Avenue Extension in Downtown Brooklyn to Jamaica Avenue in Richmond Hill, Queens, in New York City, New York, United States.
In the neighborhoods of Fort Greene and Clinton Hill, the development of Myrtle Avenue was directly related to the Brooklyn Navy Yard, built in 1801. In 1847 Fort Greene Park, Brooklyn's first park, was built on the south side of western Myrtle Avenue. During World War II, the Navy Yard employed more than 71,000 people, many of them African American shipbuilders. As a result the demand for housing in the area increased, prompting the New York City Housing Authority to build the Walt Whitman and Raymond Ingersoll public houses on Myrtle Avenue in 1944.
By the early 1970s the vitality of Myrtle Avenue began to decline, mainly because of the decommissioning of the Brooklyn Navy Yard and the curtailing of the elevated railway. At its nadir of decline, the street became known to many Brooklynites as Murder Avenue.[3]
In the 1990s the western end of Myrtle Avenue was closed from Jay Street to Flatbush Avenue Extension to create the pedestrian-only MetroTech Center. Adding to the MetroTech Center's revitalization of the neighborhood, a modern revitalization movement is in effect by a collaboration of community organizations like the Myrtle Avenue Revitalization Project LDC (MARP), the Myrtle Avenue Brooklyn Improvement district BID, and the Myrtle Avenue Merchants Association. Some parts of Myrtle Avenue, for example around Pratt Institute, have recently become a main street of commerce with many trendy restaurants and boutique retail shops.[1]
Brooklyn is the most populous of New York City's five boroughs, with a Census-estimated 2,636,735 residents in 2015.[1] It is geographically adjacent to the borough of Queens at the southwestern end of Long Island. Since 1896, Brooklyn has had the same boundaries as Kings County, the most populous county in the U.S. state of New York, and the second-most densely populated county in the United States, after the county of New York (which is coextensive with the borough of Manhattan).[2]
With a land area of 71 square miles (180 km2) and water area of 26 square miles (67 km2), Kings County is New York's fourth-smallest county by land area and third-smallest by total area, though it is the second-largest among the city's five boroughs.[3] Today, if each of the five boroughs was a separate city, Brooklyn would rank as the third most populous city in the U.S., behind Los Angeles and Chicago.
Brooklyn was an independent incorporated city (and previously an authorized village and town within the provisions of the New York State Constitution), until January 1, 1898, when, after a long political campaign and public relations battle during the 1890s, according to the new Municipal Charter of Greater New York, Brooklyn was consolidated with the other cities, boroughs, and counties to form the modern City of New York surrounding the Upper New York Bay with five constituent boroughs. The borough continues, however, to maintain a distinct culture. Many Brooklyn neighborhoods are ethnic enclaves. Brooklyn's official motto, displayed on the Borough seal and flag, is Eendraght Maeckt Maght, which translates from early modern Dutch to Unity makes strength.
In the first decades of the 21st century, Brooklyn has experienced a renaissance as an avant garde destination for hipsters,[4] with concomitant gentrification, dramatic house price increases, and a decrease in housing affordability.[5] Since 2010, Brooklyn has evolved into a thriving hub of entrepreneurship and high technology startup firms,[6][7] and of postmodern art[8] and design.[7]
42nd Street in Manhattan, New York City, Streets of NYC
42nd Street in Manhattan, New York City, Streets of NYC
42nd Street is a major crosstown street in the New York City borough of Manhattan, known for its theaters, especially near the intersection with Broadway at Times Square in Midtown. It is also the name of the region of the theater district (and, at times, the red-light district) near that intersection. The street has held a special place in New Yorkers' imaginations since at least the turn of the 20th century, and is the site of some of New York's best known buildings, including (east to west) the Headquarters of the United Nations, Chrysler Building, Grand Central Terminal, New York Public Library, Times Square and the Port Authority Bus Terminal.
The City of New York, often called New York City, is the most populous city in the United States. Located at the southern tip of the state of New York, the city is the center of the New York metropolitan area, one of the most populous urban areas in the world. With population of 8,550,405 distributed over a land area of just 305 square miles (790 km2), New York is also the most densely populated major city in the United States. A global power city, New York City exerts a significant impact upon commerce, finance, media, art, fashion, research, technology, education, and entertainment. Home to the headquarters of the United Nations, New York is an important center for international diplomacy and has been described as the cultural and financial capital of the world.
Situated on one of the world's largest natural harbors, New York City consists of five boroughs, each of which is a separate county of New York State. The five boroughs – Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan, The Bronx, and Staten Island – were consolidated into a single city in 1898. As many as 800 languages are spoken in New York, making it the most linguistically diverse city in the world.
Manhattan is often described as the cultural and financial capital of the world and hosts the United Nations Headquarters. Anchored by Wall Street in the Financial District of Lower Manhattan, New York City has been called both the most economically powerful city and the leading financial center of the world, and Manhattan is home to the world's two largest stock exchanges by total market capitalization: the New York Stock Exchange and NASDAQ. Many multinational media conglomerates are based in the borough. It is historically documented to have been purchased by Dutch colonists from Native Americans in 1626 for 60 guilders which equals US$1062 today.

⁴ᴷ Walking Tour of The New York Public Library Main Branch (Stephen A. Schwarzman Building)
I complete a walk through most of the publicly accessible areas of The New York Public Library Main Branch (Stephen A. Schwarzman Building) in Manhattan during a busy spring day in June 2018.
From Wikipedia:
The Stephen A. Schwarzman Building of the New York Public Library, originally called the Central Building and more widely known as the Main Branch or as the New York Public Library, is the flagship building in the New York Public Library system and a prominent historic landmark in Midtown Manhattan. The branch, opened in 1911, is one of four research libraries in the library system. It currently contains area of 646,680 square feet (60,079 m2) and four stories open to public. The main entrance steps are on Fifth Avenue opposite East 41st Street.
The Library's famous Rose Main Reading Room (Room 315) is a majestic 78 by 297 feet (24 by 91 m), with 52-foot (16 m)-high ceilings. The room is lined with thousands of reference works on open shelves along the floor level and along the balcony, lit by massive windows and grand chandeliers, and furnished with sturdy wood tables, comfortable chairs, and brass lamps. It is also equipped with computers providing access to library collections and the Internet as well as docking facilities for laptops. Readers study books brought to them from the library's closed stacks. There are special rooms named for notable authors and scholars, many of whom have done important research and writing at the Library. But the Library has always been about more than scholars; during the Great Depression, many members of the general public, out of work, used the Library to improve their lot in life, as they still do.
The building was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1965, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1966, and designated a New York City Landmark in 1967. It was renamed in 2008 after businessman Stephen A. Schwarzman, who donated a large sum of money for the refurbishment of the building.

USA: NEW YORK: NATIVE AMERICAN INDIANS
English/Nat
Native American Indians have become one of the fastest growing minorities in New York where they've been flocking over the past decade in search of better jobs.
Nearly 35-thousand Indians now live in the New York area ... but for many life in the Big Apple makes it hard to preserve the old traditions.
The skyscrapers and hustle and bustle of downtown New York are hardly synonymous with America's native Indian population.
But its here that the new arrivals to the Big Apple are striving to preserve the traditions of their ancient civilization.
At theatres like this, small groups of native American Indians regularly meet, to practise the ceremonial dances and rituals which have been handed down through the generations.
Thousands of Indians living in the New York area may not be as close to nature as their ancestors, but they are determined to keep their culture alive. New York is home to descendants from 60 different Indian nations, each one with a rich heritage to preserve.
SOUNDBITE:
Dance and music is a very essential part of what the Indian people are all about, as a part of their spirit. And I think, you know, when you think of all the difficulties and hardships the Indian people have gone through in this country, music and dance has always been part of what they do, part of what's kept them going.
SUPER CAPTION: Louis Mofsie, director, Thunderbird American Indian Dancers
The Thunderbird American Indian dance troupe, organized over 30 years ago, holds monthly pow-wows. Researchers gathered unique regional dances from around the country so that they could be preserved and passed on.
New York's harsh environment can make things difficult.
SOUNDBITE:
Well, the environment of course is different, because you have a concrete environment versus a grass, and woodlands and trees and prairies environment. But what we've managed to do is have our own community.
SUPER CAPTION: Tonya Gonnella Fishman
SOUNDBITE:
My father was called Tonto, my mother was called a witch and I learned to fight at a very early age on the streets.
SUPER CAPTION: Muriel Migel
Along with the dancing, there is an effort to pass on other skills - such as bead work - to the next generation.
SOUNDBITE:
I think today also you'll find that, among the young people, there's a greater interest in learning from the elders a lot of things that they know that they've forgotten or don't know and they're trying very hard to get the elders to tell them about it before they pass on so that they'll have that information.
SUPER CAPTION: Louis Mofsie, director, Thunderbird American Indian Dancers
Whether the traditions are practiced out on the reservation, or here in the urban sprawl, these people are determined to pass them on to their children.
