A great slice of an awesome experience growing up in the Marion section, with some of the nicest people I have ever met to this very day. Especially like the picture of my brother from another mother....'Twinnie", John sporting his Yankee Jersey, and so many other faces throughout this. Great throwbacks recreating the sharpness of memories that sometimes fade, but never go away!

Thank you for sharing.

When Pete is in town. He stops by to say hello to my father on Williams Ave where we both still live since 1972.... I have Pete's old sign and the homemade wooden booster seat I sat on when I was a kid.

i used to hangout on the steps on gates avenue, on the corner of Winfield and Minor drive,in the early 70s.my name is Kirk Ward.

The PATH building destroyed JOURNAL SQUARE.

My mother went to that school but not sure what year she graduated

Great memories. I lived on Cator Ave

Great pics. But the real feature is the sky That grey Jersey city sky.

Great memory. Love my jc.

Wow! Fond memories of my childhood years❤️Miss those times!

In my 30 years in JC I never lived downtown and we moved 8 times in those years. Started on Clendenny ave then Lincoln st , then Seaview ave , Ocean ave, then Liberty ave, Boyd ave , Linden ave and finally Claremont ave 1959 to 1989.

I lived here - Attended St. Lucy's and Ferris HS -

6:18 💛

Mike Cousins, formerly of RDS fame, didn't choose women's feet...WOMEN'S FEET CHOSE HIM!

Beautiful! That is our Jersey City.

👍🤍

Every morning buttered roll and hot chocolate 1.00 in queens 1989

I think it's obvious the maker if this video is from St Paul's parish lol. OLM got dissed.

St. John the Baptist 1967 🤍 Sister Charles Marie and Miss Ott were my favorites . 🎉

317 was my whole life, best and worst for me as a child, has not changed at all that much.

I didn't see my two favorites, Pete & Dominick's, Jade Chinese Restaurant. The video brings back many happy memories. Thanks, Robert

Ah, life before the shopping mall, when everything revolved around one's neighborhood.

Great pics! I remember all those places! 3 Guys Pizza had the best pizza! To this day, I can't find the same tasting pizza, it was one of a kind.

Ocean Eddys oh ya

Almost died there in the nineties. I was homeless living out there. New houses, booker T, Montgomery.. who knew that I would wind up like that and I wasn’t even 21. 😢 I can’t glorify that place- I’m just glad I survived my childhood in the environment These days, I practically close my eyes when I have to drive on the highway to the tunnel. Left in 1998 and never looked back, thank God.

Funny - we who grew up there moved away with our kids. Then we raise our suburban children who want to go to college so they can live in the city. 😂 from the heights

ANYTHING NEW

Mine was a buttered roll and a monster

Greenville Jersey City has many beautiful places. I like the Ferris Triangle Park, Columbia Park has many cherry blossom trees🌼 🌸, Ocean Avenue by Linden Ave looks nice. Am actually from Union City, (about 5 miles north) and I visited and walked the other day, and I like it!

I miss Rosie that lived up stairs from the bar in 230 Brunswick I think it’s called white star now

PS 16....till 1963...then moved to Union City.....

These are amazing thank you. Graduated from St. Paul of the Cross in 65 and St. Michaels downtown in 69! Many old friends and faces.

Famine.

Conroy's Tavern on Newark Ave at the 5 corners across from the public library. Pre prohibition, than a speakeasy reopened from 1934 to 1987 when a robbery and twin shooting forced my father to close it down due to a lawsuit from one of the victims. Ball and a beer place with sawdust on the floor, serving eye openers starting at 6:30AM to men going to operate heavy machinery at the many factories and railroads around Jersey City. One bathroom, no door, men only till the law changed in the mid 70s Met my wife at Narrowbacks which was the hangout for the new drinker.

OLC 1969 to 1974, St Peters 1978 to 1982. This video is great. Thanks for posting

I grew up in the Marion section, went to PS23 then Dickinson high school 1964 to 1968. I have nothing but great memories...working at Joe Feldmans groceries store after school. I miss it all.

Our Lady Of Mount Carmel Schhol 99 Broadway Jersey City

I grew up in the Hudson Gardens Apartments, used to got to Journal Square all the time as kids and our destination was always 3 Guys from Italy. It was only $ .10 a slice of pizza.

forgot booger bills at 271 ocean ave

The candy store seen twice in this video located on the corner of York St and Henderson St (Marin Blvd) was owned by my cousins (Torres family). I worked there for a few years in the late 70’s. Two stores not shown here are Ray’s store on the corner of Grand St and Grove St. That spot is now the Taqueria Mexican restaurant. The other is on Erie St between 3rd and 4th st, right across from the old PS #2 school. Not sure who owned it, but I remember calling it Woody’s. I remember going to that bodega from 1973 to 1977. Pinball after school and on weekends were a thrill back then. Ooops. A third one was on the corner of Second St and Erie. It was in the basement level of the building. Now I think that structure was modified where you can’t even tell there was a bodega there in the past. You had to go down a couple of steps to get in, just like the florist spot on the corner of Jersey Ave and First St. It’s called Bouquets and Baskets now, but that wasn’t their name earlier. They must have changed it not too long ago. Can’t remember it now.

I'm so Jersey City I remember ramp Auto parts downtown Jersey City

Does anyone remember Ramp auto parts?

I remember the Danforth factory outlet...

St. Boniface, 1946 - 1956 Dominican Sisters, loved it.

St. Mary's. Went to Grammar through High School, Communion and Confirmation there too.

Our Lady of Sorrows, however I lived in St Paul the Apostle's parish!
