Interesting video 👍
Great walking tour @michaelchin, you fooled some people who thought AK was back. You really should do more Astoria videos. You already have an audience here.
I grew up in Italian Harlem in the 60s. Use to walk across the bridge to go to the pool for ten cents
Hey, AK s Dad, we have really really missed you!!!!
Nice to see Your Dad walking around the city remembering the old days growing up in the Astoria Queens and listening to his memories
of those days on video thank you Action Dad.🌇👍☕
Tell your dad thanks for the walk, with the memories I grew up in Astoria in the 70s. The some of the tallest buildings out there then was I.S. 126(the school) the rest were short residential houses. It was good to see the little shopping center was still on the next block. The neighborhood has changed dramatically
Hey, AK! You should have your dad on your videos more often. It's good to hear his perspective on things. 😊
A little bit different than last year when Action Dad was pushing AK in that wheelchair in the same area !
Wonderful travels. But, there’s no place like home.
Another great video ❤thank you AK
I remember when the Post Office used to be where that tall blue building is on 21st Street

Yeah he was right. He said that his dad looks like Jackie Chang or Jackie Chang. Looks like he's dead. Yeah that's cool. Have a dad what looks like? Jackie Chang super actor from Hong Kong
This is super history. It’ll be appreciated in years to come. Btw I remember your fit dad from when he assisted you. More dad content please. Maybe an interview
Just moved to Astoria! Crescent/35th. I'm not familiar with the area and will only know it as it is today. I look forward to watching this. I'll have to look for other Astoria vids on your channel.

Hey Action dad!!! Your video is wonderful. I like seeing how things changed through your eyes!!! I would love to see how things have changed through Action mom eyes as well. Thank you so!😊
So happy that your dad is back on your channel. He is an absolute delight😃🥰👍
I love "old days" things and stories. And I'm old!😂
Welcome back 😅
Very interesting❤❤
Yay more ActionDad! ❤
Thank you for sharing the story of the 9/11 hero carlos ❤
Somehow dad accent is more New York than AK, the "thaere" and "fawr" and "cornaar" and many more. I watched Spint City back in the days. New York is warmer than Toronto, all the trees are fully grown. So nice, I wish I could live in New York for one year so I can explore all the historic neighbourhoods.
Glad to be back AK's dad!😎❤️ I gotta say, these memories of your dad are dominating and sweet!😊😏🤭 Thanks for sharing that in Astoria Queens AK!😌🤗🥹😇
Old School New York City forever
Your dad is back in action! It was nice to see Astoria again and hear him share about childhood memories, history, and new developments of the neighborhood. The sound of his boots added a nice touch to this walk. 👢 Thank you to your dad for this walk and for sharing this video, AK! 🤗
Vietnam makes NY
Look boring. Welcome home.
ActionDad in the house again! 👍👍
