[@andrewvitale7128]

Went past my house at the buss stop over the hill was a great bakery ware the new school is now there was G,S projects! Boy did this bring back memories! Went to school #7.. I truly miss this place. West side park, JFK with the submarine and deer pen, the great falls with Fallsview with Libby's down the street across from Olimpia dinner.

Thanks for beginning video in Stoney Road Section. Born and lived on Danforth Ave and a few houses from Nagle Street. Attended St. Bonaventures grammar on corner of Nagle St and Danforth Ave in Stony Road in Paterson and Central High in Paterson. Graduated Central in January 1964. Half year sessions back then. You forgot to mention Minardi's Bakery on top of Grand St hill and Hoxey St. Was a great Bakery and also made delicious pizza. Paterson was a great town.

I have an episode where I do a drive in the Stoney Road section.

Raised on Murray ave by school #7 and loved Falls view then Libby's but I think Johnny & hanges is one of the few places like this left.. I loved Paterson as a kid now it's all gone.

[@maribelgonzalez8844]

I lived at the 352 building with the grocery store on the first floor and the hispanic bakery across the street..there was a bar across the street as well...not sure if still there. It seems like the library is no longer there either. Great video, thank you for sharing. I was 5 then, I am now 52!😊

Would love to see this town restored,I'm not sure if the residents realize the history and importance of this old Paterson!

[@CindyPino]

I miss my Paterson!

[@artsfarmstudio6405]

Very cool! I worked at the deli on Dayton and Murray (it's still Murray right there), and lived across the street in the big old 2-story house on the opposite corner. The deli was called 'Super Deli' at the time. Hung out at AJ's which turned into The Stoney Road Inn for many years. It's about a block further down on the right. Good times :-) The bakery was Derosa's Bakery, next to the old Grand St library. Angelo, Derosa's son was in my class at St John Elementary. Every Friday his dad would bring in pizza from the shop!

[@PrideInPaterson]

Great memories!

...could you see if the old Seton Hall University Paterson Campus (it was closed sometime after I graduated in 1971) is still extant on Ellison Street (behind City Hall)...it was originaslly a bank building 0 the only building with a stained glass skylight...cant remember the address unfortunately...

[@mohammedcohen]

....difficult to find ANYTHING about the old school location but it might have been 151 Ellison St

[@mohammedcohen]

...I found it...it's now an Adult School for Continuing Education...stiil extant - thank God it wasn't torn down and veing used for tye same purpose as it was 50 years ago...

Yes. And that would be true for many big cities in this great country :-)

You would have passed the Passaic County Jail just before the cathedral.
