Before & After! Fontana CA 1998 & 2019

Fontana California in 1998 and how it looks in 2019!!

[@americanzombie1802]

Grew up in Fontana too. 1985 till today still here. I remember around 2000 my friends and I would talk about recording our days in the city because we would ride our BMx bikes throughout the city, but we never actually got around to buying the camera. Your videos make me wish so bad we did. Glade someone like you is out there with old these old videos. Great stuff.

[@JonDGAF]

1984- today...Fontana for life.

[@rollinponystyle]

Been here since 85. Went to Tokay elementary. Seen the city grow. Supported all the mom and pop shops. Anyone remember P&D video on sierra just before miller?

[@americanzombie1802]

@@richardortiz8704 it’s probably cleaner today than back then lol. More traffic though which sucks

[@TryforceZelda03]

How you remember the past and what you actually record from 1998 are two different things. It's trippy seeing old school 87 Maximas in the video. Thanx for the upload...Its a real time machine.

[@Jesus-kt5dc]

*8:42** only someone that has lived in Fontana would call it that.* 😂😂

[@CalabarSweetii]

YES!

[@chitomartinez2304]

Soo true

[@pompoms8435]

Omg he said Fontucky that's what we called it back in the 80's

[@fu2133]

I heard it still in the 2010

[@davidmreyes77]

That Stater Bros shopping center takes me back. Before the Goodwill was there it used to be a music store in the early 80s. I think Goodwill took over the location in 1983-84. There was a laundromat there too and a donut place. I used to play arcade games in the donut place in the late 80s.

[@richardortiz8704]

It was better than today sucks

[@realitycheck1092]

You a real Fontana legend

[@mounirsarhane8476]

i was born in 2006 and never lived in this era, thanks for all these video's, i watched lots of them and it realy feels like i lived in this era, i dream sometimes about it. I also love this cars. Keep recording video's because in the futur we would look back at the new video's

[@rubenreyes1360]

Memories 🥺back in the days

[@sidneyleggs7891]

I was born and raised in San Bernardino. Fontana had changed alot. There's houses and food courts. Employees at stater Bros used to wear white button up shirts and brown tie. Today employees wear blue polo shirts. Only the manager wears a button up white T shirt and tie. I love the burritos at Joe's Mexican food. I don't remember seeing that bus model. 2000 I was seeing more of those buses. 90s were the best of times. Alot of good music in the 90s

[@prestonsauls3856]

grew up in fontana back in the 70s my grandma used to take me to the good will and stater brothers boy a lot has changed the 4 corners was never there . thank for the memories and more of fontana would be great .

[@Brotherjayy1991-b1u]

This is one day before my birthday in December 1998 when I was about to turn 7 years old back then when I was younger

[@americanzombie1802]

Btw I feel like the stater bros parking lot still looks relatively same. Been going there my whole life.

[@paulchugen9039]

[@aaronasmr8833]

[@marsianmarsh8786]

Thanks for uploading!

[@ELPICHO1990]

That truck at 36:15 was my dads

[@jimlewo4693]

Arco owned it whole time

[@fueledbymusic3]

Imagine that! And imagine even knowing exactly how long ago it was built!

[@joeneri150]

I was actually born in Upland, CA at the San Antonio Hospital, but lived and raised in Fontana, CA. I forgot the first address, but after I used to live on Etiwanda Street. But at the time I used to live in front of a construction site and next to what looked like a trucking company. Point is I miss living here.

[@rickyrivas4787]

[@pompoms8435]

😮Dude I literally grew up there from 1998-2015 I went to Mango elementary witch is behind that gas station.

[@marcosruiz5722]

You should’ve went to the highschool a like Fo Hi or Ab Miller

[@Struseekz]

You should do one of San Bernardino (:

[@richardortiz8704]

You're doing in San Bernardino

[@pompoms8435]

Stater brothers I used to shop there

[@howtobebasic2122]

it hardly changed over the 20 years.

[@davidmreyes77]

howtobebasic 2 yep. A lot of the big changes to the city really developed in the mid 80s up until the 90s when more homes and shopping centers were built. Living in Fontana in the early 80s still felt like the 70s.

[@martinhernandez1998]

Back in 98 you did not see so much homeless people

[@richardortiz8704]

To do sucks too many homeless and wetbackster hated

[@f.w.2054]

[@MrBackslider1]

Should've been titled "Sierra & Foothill Blvd" before and after!! What did I just watched??? Wasted all that time. Too much time on one boring location. Actually stopped watching with about 10 min left. Applauded the effort though.

[@GhostFan-ev4di]
