Cool video and tribute to Cranbury, NJ!

[@TheMickeyShuffle]

Thanks Randy! I appreciate it!

Your video is blowing my mind. This is my hometown. I lived here for the first 33 years of my life. I am now 63. Thank you so much for this. And regarding your post script about the candy store, known to all, as 'Harold's", I remember it vividly. Harold O'Neill owned that store my entire life in that town. Working for him, was the first job i ever had. I believe I was about 13 years old. A Coke cost 12cents. Penny candy cost a penny. One scoop of ice cream in a cone cost 10 cents. Harold was a good man.

Wow, thanks so much for watching and thank you for the info on Harold! I'm really glad you enjoyed the video!

Also I love the scenery around the Plant food Company area. It's really peaceful. How's the cost of living there though?

[@TheMickeyShuffle]

Thanks for checking out the video! The cost of living is pretty consistent with NJ but I can't speak to it from a real estate angle.

Beautiful small town buddy thanks for sharing

[@TheMickeyShuffle]

Thanks so much my friend!

I lived there when I was two and three years old. It was lovely. I have great memories of this place. I was born in Princeton. My first house was in Kendall Park. I miss New Jersey a lot. I want to move from New York back to NJ.

[@TheMickeyShuffle]

Thanks for checking it out and I'm glad it brought back some memories for you!

[@susanrhodes2693]

I remember all that. That was the good old days. I lived across the the First Presbyterian church and 2 days from Cranbury INN 1970's - 1994

I grew up in Hightstown. My dad would take us to Harold's in Cranbury and buy us ice cream cones. Harold dipped them, himself. Thanks for this video.

[@TheMickeyShuffle]

Hi Gary, Thanks for giving a watch! I'm glad it was able to bring back some memories for you. It really is a great place.

[@fxmct71]

Thanks Mick. Nice little town.

[@TheMickeyShuffle]

Thanks so much! I really appreciate the support!

[@AsBobSeesIt]

Another great video. You should consider taking in Fort Mott and Fells Point National Cemetery down in Southwest Jersey. Fells Point, though in the Jersey Peninsula, is actually in Delaware.

[@TheMickeyShuffle]

Wow, I don't know how I haven't seen Fort Mott before. The place looks gorgeous! Stay tuned for that one and thanks for the tip! Fells Point looks awesome too. Thanks a lot Bob!

and the store across from Harolds was mrs. stalls.....

[@timothybrennan2308]

Harold's was great. Gas, ice cream and Army men...

[@TheMickeyShuffle]

Ahhh, that was the best! Those were the days!

[@bobbyspapercraft]

Teddy’s was a favorite. And the book worm.

[@TheMickeyShuffle]

Ahhhh yeah the Book worm. The downstairs area seemed like a maze when I was a kid and I remember being there on a rainy day and it was awesome.

[@astralweeks23]

Hey Mickey, Lauren here. Did you hear we saw Bill?? I was thinking of other videos you could do -- the shipwreck on Asbury Park beach ( theres actually a plaque there and thats why i know about it) and theres some wack ass cult weirdo guy story in Hopewell. His last name was Ralston. Check them out!!
