GREENBUSH MEMORIES

A collection of rare 8mm home movies taken in the Italian neighborhood in Madison, WI known as the Greenbush. The entire neighborhood was demolished in the early 1960's in the name of "Urban Renewal" Films photographed by Frank and Betty Romano in 1958-59.

What a great tribute to a family and a neighborhood that I was fortunate to be apart of……. That brings back beautiful memories……..

Thanks for sharing! Fluffy, along with a bunch of guys from The Park St Shoe shop signed a good luck card for me when I went to the State Corrections academy. My dad is Joe Schiro, his dad owned Schiro Tavern on the corner of Regent and Brook St.

Tim, this is great! Thank you for making & posting this. It gives me a better sense of what the neighborhood was really like. I was born in 1966, so I never experienced it. I wish my family would have had a movie camera back then. Joe Scalissi

Tim, it was great to see everybody young again! Mom and I especially enjoyed seeing Ben young. I have never seen these films before, and I thought I`ve seen all the old family movies before! Thanks again, Tony
