A New Video Overview of the Bloomingdale Neighborhood History Group
The video gives you an overview of Bloomingdale's history, it introduces you to some of the famous people who once lived here (spoiler alert: Nina Simone, The Gershwins, Humphrey Bogart are just three of hundreds) and gives you an idea why all of us at the BNHG are so passionate about spreading the word about this amazing place.
We had fun putting this video together and we think you'll have fun watching it.
