This is so fascinating to see what Ambridge looked like back then. I lived here my whole life and it is so weird seeing all the buildings that are in place of the park, high school, cvs....thanks you this was so cool!
Wow I remember driving around ambridge all the time thanks for memories I think that was my step mom coming out the alley on 7th street I had started doing something like that in the 90’s I called it forgotten times I had close to like 2 hrs of things that where there but not anymore but my camera and films got stolen in my own house by one of my sons friends but wow even back then the Main Street was busy I miss the old ambridge . But at least the old town is starting to make a little come back thanks for reliving the past
Thank you for this!!!! My father owned Ballay Hardware. I grew up above it. That is our old Suburban. ❤❤❤❤ Do you know what year this is? It's so bitter sweet watching this.
Can anyone confirm that it really is John Vagias at 2:42 like @joeharmony3324 said in the comments? It looks like it could be his face and hair, but he was never this bulky looking. I'm his daughter and I'd like to really know if it was him. The video quality is making it hard for me to tell even though I know him anywhere, and the blur on the edges could be making this person look bigger, so if that's the case, then it probably is him. If anyone knows for sure, please let me know here in the comments. Thanks!
ambridge had a lot of stores back in the 80s i have several pictures of merchant street side walk bargan days from early 1960s i'll put them on youtube if some one tells me how to do it

This is awesome loved growing up in my home town merchant street was packed in the evenings business open , Now sad hardly ever go there
Dude I’m 16 watching this, this is sick. It’s so weird my high school doesn’t even exist in this video
Thank you for this,,the good old days of Ambridge.
My mom graduated in 85! I had to send this to her!
I graduated in “89 😍
Fascinating. Was there audio in the original footage?
I owned a Bussines now, but in 85 I was living in veneZuela
Great. Which business ? We always support local businesses.
dang i remember that big green building on 8th and Merchant - where the CVS is now - what was it?
Cern Stormrunner : that building was Caplan',s a wholesaler
Nice reliving the past and people walking the streets

Frank Rosenberger: this was in the summer of 1985
I frequented Ballay Hardware. It was a great place. Does your dad now work at “Do it Best” in Ambridge?
@@kucelkj Yep. He's been there for 24 years.
OK what song is this because it fricken slaps
Music is from iMovie stock. They had about 10 selections and this one seemed to be best fit
I grew up in the big yellow brick house on the corner of 6th & Maplewood. My grandfather still owned the house in 85.

Hey Ed: if you have an IPhone, you should have IMovie app on your phone. You just add your photos to the app and it lets you create a movie.
how far is this from bucks county or philly
It’s west of Pittsburgh, PA. By 25 minutes.
