thank you so much for this,, I was born and raised in JC Hudson County. I'm grateful for all the streetwise experiences.

What year is this from? Love it as a resident of the city. Thanks for sharing

i remember Woolworths is where they put the path building, they had escalators going down to the trains,also had a closed walkway from cottage street

this is fantastic both of my parents born and raised in JC now i am a resident good authentic people

I hadn't made that connection between the bongo fad of the 1950s and escapist fantasies (romantic and horror) loosely based on African and Caribbean cultures offered up by Hollywood starting in the silent era and maybe ending last week. Great fun and also food for thought!

Is that Kennedy Blvd at 00:29??

A splendid pairing of imagery and music. Thanks, David!

That pretty much nails it as an abstract version of my memory of the event. Thanks, David!

Hi david- this really was a punch in the gut (in a good way LOL) I was born (1963) and raised in JC - didn’t move till 26 years old - This brings back so many great memories of my youth… I missed the three theaters in Journal Square… Honestly this is everything thank you for posting.

Great Video of Jersey City! I am creating a virtual museum via a UA-cam channel I just created and am hoping to see more videos like this.....still not sure how UA-cam works, but would like to share this with the WE GREW UP IN JERSEY CITY group who would truly appreciate it.

JC was a dump then and still is..

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?

In journal square, what is that tall white building. What's in there?

As a Jersey City resident for nearly all of my life, this looks very cool. Thank you for this!

Thanks for these, David

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

Paul Rusnock once called detasseling "two weeks of hell followed by nostalgia." Thanks for helping with the nostalgia, David--and the detasseling.

Lots of love in this video! So great!

David, this is really poignant...

That voice sounds really familiar. Great one. Thanks for sharing

David, so great to be on the vaparetto with you!

Yes Angelo Fama was also quite involved with Tpni Arden, Guy Mitchel, Patsy Cline and others. A rare talent and solid creative force within the music industry.

Angelo Fama authored the song but did not perform it. Mr. Fama wrote and produced many songs and was well known within the music industry. He worked with Rose Marie (of Dick Van Duke show) Steve Lawrence, Mitch Miller, Bobby Cole, and many many more.
