The Haunting Abandoned Island In The Middle Of NYC

North Brother Makes an Appearance on T.V.

Considering that the island has had very little impact by humans since it was abandoned in the 1960’s, the island is a great representation of what would happen to that region of the country if humans vanished.

Because of this, in 2009, the island was featured in the episode “Armed and Defenseless” fro the series Life After People to show what happens to structures 45 years after being abandoned. The island was also featured in the shows Broad City and Unforgettable, showing that the island is still a sought after location even in popular culture.
