Look not with your eyes, but with your heart...You'll still see the old New Jersey all around. Beautiful work, Paul.

Wow! So many places I visited as a kid. My folks were big on variety and exposure and overcoming the fear of strangers and different places. New Jersey was/is a WONDERFUL place to be born and raised. Seashore to mountains, deserts to lakes: Fantastic. Thanks for posting this.

Love this!! One of my favorite memories is the sound the little locker doors made on the Good Humor truck - and the man would have to go to different lockers for different items. That sound, along with the date stamper at the library with its double "kluck-kluck" and the wonderful smell of wood at the old library on Washington Ave in Bergenfield, are good memories. And how all the clothes sold at Two Guys smelled like sauerkraut... I don't know how, but one guy selling hot dogs out front managed to get the smell into everything inside the store! My dad loved Casa Hofbrau, so it wasn't our fault it went out of business - the only place you could get red cabbage. Lots of great memories! Thanks!

I used to hang out with my friends under Seaside pier as a teen, that was taken by Hurricane Sandy. Used to clime underneath it with my first love, high above the beech and ocean. I was timid, he was wild. I loved him to much...still do. I haven't seen him for about 25years.

I lived in Jersey City. Most of what was there in the 50's and 60's is gone. Especially Journal Square.

Feeling nostalgic at this tough time. I'm not a native (grew up on LI) but have lived here for 30 years. Well done Paul.

Crying and remembering my folks and Sunday drives too nowhere, far yet near too home!

Wow. I'm 66 and grew up in Glen Rock and Upper Saddle River. Seeing Two Guys,Packards (Italian ices were sold right next to the entrance to the liquor dept.) and Bertrands Island really brought back great memories of all the things that made NJ unique. There was racism,poverty,pollution and corruption aplenty . I know that growing up in a white,middle class suburb shielded me from alot of the bad stuff but it was still a great time and place to be a kid. It was a simpler time (for better or worse) when kids were allowed to be kids and the grown-ups lived in there own world.
