I’m Paterson born and raised. I’m living in Maryland now. These videos are so therapeutic

[@PrideInPaterson]

Thank you so much!

[@annmariemiller3478]

Thank you for bringing me home. Going up Carlisle you passed Our Lady of Pompeii Church on left opposite School No. 7, my grammar school with great teachers. Going up the hill my house was on the left with the dark fence - Rockland, Carlisle and Barns St. Barns had the Morris Canal on it. My bother broke his arm bike riding down that hill. It was THE bike and sled hill.I walked up and down that hill 4 times a day. Home for lunch. The stone building might have been there since the Morris Canal. We should find out. On xorner of Murray Ave an d Rockland was Ralph Nakash's butcher and grocery store. My bother delivered groceries for him for a while when he was a kid. further on was Minardi's Bakery - the best BREAD! My family is Cannizzaro across from St. Michael's Church, and later my Uncle Joe had Sun Ray Pizza. I CAN TELL YOU SO MUCH! Thank you, grazie!

1977 graduate from school #7 I remember like it was yesterday I remember sliding down the staircase in front and also when it used to flood in the playground. I got married in the church across the street Our Lady of Pompei by Father Martin. I grew up on Murray ave and still have relatives living there. Was a great neighbor to grow up in. As you went up Murray Avenue there was a bar called Stony Road Inn not sure if that is still there but that place holds lots of memories. Thank you for the trip down memory lane. It’s great to see the place. #piscitellifamily

Thank You very much for this video!! It brought back many great memories!!!

[@PrideInPaterson]

You're very welcome. Sorry about the annoying singing 🤣

I went to school No, 7, 1947 - 1955 with a boy with the Drexler name!

[@davedrexler5711]

@@annmariemiller3478 My Dad Bill Drexler and my uncle Bob Drexler both went to School 7 around that time.

My parents owned Stoney Road Inn, I miss the good old days.

One of the best kept Secret in Paterson for years. It was a sort of isolated area that was well kept and beautiful and had a nice feel to the Neighborhood. I lived there shortly during 1991..93.Very peaceful area,,but you had to watch the street signs because the One Ways were tricky 😉

[@lauriepalmer3845]

My mother grew up in Stony Road section, Danforth Ave.

[@federicorocco2488]

I remember playing basketball for Stony Road , the Hallback family was our coach,many many wonderful memories,took place around 1969, great old friends from Stony Road.

[@PrideInPaterson]

Awesome memories

[@williambohaboy2852]

I lived on derrom Avenue 10 years I never went into paterson I'm learning watching these videos I shopped in Elmwood Park I knew nothing about Paterson thank you fred for doing these videos it's very nice of you regards bill

[@deebowlby845]

I grew up on Carlisle in the 60's and 70's. You drove past my school 7, and my church - Lake of Pompeii, and several of my friends houses. Very cool. If you do another Stoney Road tour, I would love to see how Pennington Park looks these days.

[@PrideInPaterson]

I did a video there episode 36: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i3TEeGmdrsmYqZY

[@gigibeanz]

Great video, I grew up on Carlisle Ave, from 1961 until 2020, many of us Stoney Roaders, still get together every year at Thanksgiving for some drinks and memories, before heading to dinner with our families. This was a great neighborhood to live in.

[@richarddemarest7307]

My father, Harrison Demarest, was born on Nagle Street in 1917.

[@prestigepressurewash3758]

Stoney Road is a very safe tight knit neighborhood 👍

[@rbnmonney]

6:03 is the exact same hill I use to ride down growing up 🤣 loved the video!

[@Cargeorge996]

Caldwell n webster was the streets my cousins lived on. We stopped by sometimes to eat sunday dinner with them 😋

[@PrideInPaterson]

Nice!

[@dianevanderlinden3480]

I’m so impressed by how clean the streets are. Here in Florida so many neighborhoods are just strewn with trash. Unless it’s a gated community lol.

[@robertsivori3171]

hey, Freddy. great video! don't know if you got my response, from yesterday. i don't see it here. anyway, I'm a business owner, right at 480 McBride Ave., Paterson. I've been here for 5 wonderful years. this is truly a great neighborhood, with amazing residents and amazing business owners. keep it up!!

[@PrideInPaterson]

I didn’t see the response. Sorry I missed it. Thank you for those kind words!

[@andrewmanzi2969]

There used to be so much work in the Mills in Downtown Paterson that people that lived outside the city would take boats to work and the bolts would go up and down the canal.

[@Charlie-Cat.]

Hi Freddy, Would you be interested on doing another walkthrough with no commentary video? This time at the Bergen Town Center on Rte 4 in Paramus, NJ. Here's some fun history to be amazed Freddy. Back when it was the Bergen Mall, President John F. Kennedy campaigned there for the Presidential election in 1960. A few years later, Lyndon B Johnson did the same as well in 1964 during his campaigning across the country. Amazing how two of our Presidents were here in Bergen county and how the location helped both men became leaders of our country. Anthony..

I think you found the "Chorus" of your song. This would follow in between the story of your song, and could be at the end too as well - Good Job! I love it.

[@PrideInPaterson]

Lol. I felt I might be irritating people with the constant repetition of it 😂

[@OceanSound100]

@@PrideInPaterson No, you must have a chorus to any "story song" Finding the chorus can help write the rest of the song. It helps to know the title and the chorus to begin writing. All you got to do now is write around it and sing with your discovered rhythm and story. I feel a somewhat country vibe and a personal story growing up in Paterson on Stoney Road. In Jim Croce's song "I got a name," you can get ideas from him.

[@andrewmanzi2969]

Mark Mancini can tell you the history in that area pretty good, he is now a priest in St James Church in Totowa.

[@Kat-zn6dk]

Love the singing my Man ,🤘

Great memories

Excellent Freddy 👍🏽

Thank you!

Back in the 20s and 30s Where You Are parked on Grand Street ending your video that building had a big horn on top and the horn with blow for people to get up in the morning and it would blow when it was time for people to get off work. And the whole city can hear that horn

[@PrideInPaterson]

Never knew that!

Is this a Paterson only channel? Or would u ever consider showing other parts of North Jersey?

[@PrideInPaterson]

Pride In Paterson is a playlist on this channel. Check out the channel, I have other videos and playlists too. I have videos showing parts of NJ. NY Washington DC. Even Pittsburgh. Citifield. Etc

M MY ROCKLAND STREET! THAT WAS MY HOUSE! The 2 family white on top and fake brick on bottom. Just resold!.

[@miriambucholtz9315]

NO, the song did not get stuck in my head. Besides, I have a way of dealing with that sort of thing. I think of another song that either has the same rhythm, is in the same key, has a similar meaning, etc. and override the one that's stuck. I loved those faces, though.

[@PrideInPaterson]

Lol. I had to include the faces. I felt some folks might get annoyed at the horrible singing lol

Buy Stoney Road gum balls... From Pat er son, not Little Falls (Well, you get the idea)

5:56 That’s the only road In Paterson I’ve seen that does not have a curb I wonder why they call it Stoney Road there are no roads called Stoney Road Paterson Needs more trees 🌳 lol 😂

We sure do

We are close to the stone Quarry - a lot of quartz came from there. And the quarry was close to the Morris Canal which is now Barns street.
