I am 40 from dongan hills (I was born at SI Hospital and grew up by the colonnade-below the boulevard) I remember and know all of this. Nice video. I enjoyed it ❤️
Lived in New Dorp a couple of years(early 80s) to take care of my grandmother. Canopy of Elm trees make for a very quaint and charming atmosphere. It started changing back then,but still a good neighborhood. Although those smelly days from the dump are never pleasant.
I remember Richmond Ave ,from Arthur kill rd. going towards the mall .All you could go from ARTHUR KILL RD WAS 500 YDS. THEN THERE WAS THE SMALL AIRPORT .My Grandfather brought us kids there to watch the planes take off and land. Beyond that was nothing. Great memories.
Seen king Kong at that theater, new dorp diner. When to old new dorp high school. Remember when they filmed Easy Money at pizza time. New dorp and Hyland Blvd. And then there was nathan's.... From Tyson lane to 122. How many stores would you say there are? Remember bagging groceries for tip money to go to the movies someplace along Hyland Blvd for 50 cents. Mid 70s to early 80s I lived in that area. Oh U.S.Army recruiting office was in new dorp, jan 3rd,1979. And signed up for the draft a few years later at the post office. Marino brothers auto parts, worked for one of them early 80s.
I'm a native and so is my parents whom are in there 90:s. I used to go to the movie theater where the Toys r Us was, I forgot the name of it. Used to get Saturday Matinee for only $1, in the 70s. Memories.
Cedar Grove Beach was PRIVATE! There was fencing into the water and a manned guardhouse at the gate. Before Ebbitts St. was completed it was the Dead End of Cedar Grove Ave. You would have to be invited by a resident to enter.
Not True... Don't remember any Lifeguard or Security...just alot of people who thought they owned beach Front property ,...but the Homes were Welfare Bungalows...
One of the things that really changed is that automobile repair shops now charge ridiculous prices on labor and rip off the customer with the price of parts. And then tell you that they are looking out for you…smh
Worked at Karl Ehmer meats on Saturdays for my dad as a kid. That was the Butcher shop between the Lane Theater and B&A jewellers..
1962- 1992..

My first job when I moved to S.I. when I was a teen was Sedutto's. The girls I worked with were mean, so I didn't have that job long.
Very good video Fred Delise!!
I lived on Beach Ave in the forties

The telephone poles are still there...show the diner..
Staten Island was a beautiful place at one time , And than came the VZ Bridge, that was the beginning of the end...........
yeah but if you know how to do fencing you should be able to do good....
That Bridge Killed Staten Island, They Should Rename It To Moron Island, I still Love It But The Brooklynites Killed It....
Take that fool off the wall.

Enjoying the price of Bidengas and run-away inflation?
Perhaps you owe us all an apology.
ITS CALLED LAND RAPE
Good memories? No, they are sad memories.
The Verazzanno Bridge killed Staten Island.
I don’t miss Staten Island at all. But you’ll see it will just get worse by the way the Bronx is the real forgotten borough not Staten Island
Thank you for representing the MAGA!!!!!! Only conservative borough.
