This should bring back some memories for our lifelong residents

Thanks for that. I didn't see Jamesway, Grants or GEX.

I remember waving Willie. Him and a lot of the other places in the video. Thanks.

Wow, that brings back memories...  Gruning's Ice cream, for sure.

Thanks for the memories Shawn! I enjoyed that.

shit. now I feel old...

Should have called it "That old NORTH Jersey".

Thankfully, that old South Jersey hasn't changed as much.

remember lots of that vid. Made it to Mothers enough times lol and snuck into the old Ramsey drive-in a few times too.

Can't count the number of farms (horse, dairy and agri.) I've seen turned into McMansions, golf courses, apartments and office space.

 

Who remembers Goodie's Hamburgers, Kresge's, the Haunted Mansion, the Peninsula House or the Sandy Hook Nike missile base.  How about military drills in Deal?  I can recall watching tanks and Jeeps driving down 35 in the 60's.

Very cool. I've been to probably 98 % or so of those locations. So sad what's not here any more. My aunt had a farm in Flemington, my grand parents also had a farm right here in town. Use to walk to Great Eastern Mills. Two Guys, etc.., I wish I could go back in time and stay there.

Times may have been tougher but things were much simpler too. Anyone got a functioning time machine?

sorry but my time machine has been busted for about 120 years, having trouble locating a new flux capacitor.

I remember a lot of those places, but I grew up in Lake Hopatcong across from Bertrand's Island.  Anyone else remember when the roller coaster burned down?  I sat on our dock and watched it that night.  Never rode it again.  And drinking at the Final Exam.  Those memories are a bit hazy...

 

And now I feel old.

How true...

 

I got to be honest. And I hesitated posting this. I have a lot of good memories of Jersey and I think there are a lot of great things about the place (absent the people). But that video just reminded me that Jersey has always been a pretty lame and depressing.

I grew up just down the road in Landing by the Beach Club/ old Gutwines Shoprite on the corner, went to Nixon school till 3rd grade. When I was around 12ish we used to ride our bikes  up to Bertrands Island and go thru the abandon buildings finding all kind of stuff. Was crazy place. I'm talking back in like 1982 ish

How true...
