Very poetic film, David. Feels like a lost world on the other side of the looking glass. I love the music choice, too!

Thanks! I found a copy of that 78 in a Jersey City thrift store and still have it, though the version I used is from archive.org. Charlie Parker was a fan of Earl Coleman's, and both songs evoke the feeling of melancholy sophistication of an earlier bygone era. I used to listen to it on my cheap portable record player on Stagg Street - hearing it brings back memories of the mid-1980s for me.

I have a question,What was Indian square in Newark ave between Tonnelle ave and JFK Blvd before Was it populated by Russians, Polish,Czechs or Jewish if so how come when I try to look up the history of Indian square it doesn’t show me anything about it I’m come out empty handed?

Indian Square was never the official name of the area. Although there were a lot of Indian stores, there were quite a few Filipino businesses, as well.

@hennylo682 жыл бұрын
@@biggercandybar6115 So it's not Indians there anymore? That area was like little India back in the 90's and early 2000's. And yes some Filipinos were there but mostly Indians. Didn't know they moved those people out of there. Haven't been back to Jersey City since the mid 2000's.

Back in the 80s, it was mostly the Port Authority administrative offices, a couple of banks, bookstore, record store, and a newspaper stand. Lots of empty office space. Underground were the PATH trains that ran from Newark to NYC. Also known as the "Tubes", although that name had started losing popularity by the time if the video.
