Stop da cap
To me it never ages it just upgrades love it❤always be from Newark and forever loving it place of history of old
What a treat! I live at Lincoln Park, so imagine how I felt seeing my building! I'm disabled now and can't get around much, so thank you, Look Around! I've lived and worked in Newark for many years and have wonderful memories of these places, especially going to the Opera at Newark Symphony Hall. My city has progressed and improved a thousand fold over the years, and I'm grateful - even Obama likes it here! Brick City xoxo
If my math is correct....you are in your late sixties or early seventies? Are you Italian?
@@countryboi5828 I'm a 71-year old Italian lady living out the last days in my wonderful city! (this picture is about 3-4 years old with make-up lol)
Bro, my first job was on this vídeo.. 😞 made remember the struggles of walking to Broad St under snow storm because I couldn't afford a car to get to work.. I'm so grateful with this city.. I can't even start explaining.
Say what you want about those Bricks but there's a lot of good people there. God bless y'all.!
Born and raised in Newark. Reppin Newark even after my last breath.
Love, fights, parades, rallies, Nets games, Concerts I have so many memories from a boy to a man. I love my city.
Here. Here.
Born and raised in Brick City. I used to love the parades on Broad Street back in the day and the carnival 🎡 behind Penn Station. I left Jersey many years ago but it’s still home. Coopers Sandwiches Fireworks at Martin Stadium Tree Blossoms at Branch Brook Park Those were the days. I can’t believe that twin city roller skating rink is now a supermarket 😢.
I love ❤️ Downtown Newark not in it to often but it is a very nice Downtown
Yeah, you can go downtown and get a decent bean pie.
the 2 best years of my life when i worked at the employment office at Broad and Kinney 32 years ago , met some really dear souls who have since passed
Thank you!
THIRTY-TWO years ago ??!! That's going way back.
@@countryboi5828 Try almost 50 years when I worked here, had my first decent job on Academy St, then Military Park. I now live at Lincoln Park and wouldn't trade my city for all the riches in Arabia lol! Congratulations on your wife and kiddies, and your happy memories of Jerry Lewis and Bruce Lee at the Paramount. 😎
Lincoln Park, site of the Summer Festival !!
Yes!
😍😍
Grew up in Newark from 1958 till 1974 so many memories.

Milton it's a good city I've met lots of people who lived in jersey city as a counselor I was working out there all the residents from jersey that I helped ended up moving to Newark from JC because they said it's more alive and more things to do..you should visit.
What is Martin Luther King Blvd was called High St, very sad to see that the building I grew up is disable and closed.i many memories from that area from Broad St and around Thomas St , Miller St etc from my childhood thanks for sharing.
I'm feeling homesick now....😔

Hurry up home or invest cuz you won't recognize it in 10 years..
@@princessgrace66 It's now a lot more changed than years ago, it's better, so imagine how it'll look in those 10 years! The city fathers have kept it clean and safe to live and work here.

I was born and raised in Newark and worked 20 years in downtown and I couldn't figure out where you were until the 12:25 mark when i spotted the Rich jewelers sign. I might still have a ring and a chain there lol. Good times
Nice video, made me remember when I was there (Sherman Avenue)
Jerry Lewis, the now deceased comedian once worked at the PARAMOUNT THEATRE, formerly located on Market Street. I am also a former employee of the PARAMOUNT. I can recall giving out Bruce Lee posters and being set upon by scores of Bruce Lee fans in the process back in the late seventies.
@@countryboi5828 wow I use to go to adams movie seeing a Bruce lee movies, that was the good old days
@@frannah8258. Yeah, I met my wife at the Adams and sired 5 kids by her.

So did I angel, I live on mulberry between Tomas & Murray. I went st. Columba & East Side High.

Paramount I think. Kung Fu Cinema. Also the Chinese store on Halsey that used to sell all the Kung Fu paraphernalia. And the Hot dog place on the corner of Broad and Washington
Class of 89 MXS Bulldogs
My cousins and I played in this park and in this area growing up. There were car dealers and a huge church on the next block.
Love my home town 👏🏿👏🏿
Good old Halsey st where they filmed the movie Cadillac records ..staring Beyonce and Adrien Brody ..I was there for most of the outside filming...met most of the actors accept Beyonce...there's a lot of movies being filmed in my city lately especially the latest one Joker a few shot downtown by market st. Oh and the black knight before that ...I love watching movies being made..maybe one day I'll get to be in one lol.
@Exmo G ~ I was there when Joachim Phoenix was making Joker, but missed Beyonce, also Tom Cruise made a movie here. I missed watching Black Knight being made, but there's much more going on here now, even Jack Nicholson liked it here, Obama too! He was just here for the day.
I didnt know they filmed Cadillac Records in Nwk! One of my favorite movies.
My home town hey Jersey😊👋
The Little Theatre at 562 Broad Street in Newark, NJ closed down on June 25, 2018. I have been searching for another adult cinema. Do you know where in NJ I might be able to find another cinema like the Little Theatre?
LOVE IT. my college hometown
I grew up in Newark. Ironbound
Update on Washington St and market st Queen Latifah filmed a few episode of her new show EQUALIZER..AND A FEW IN CITY HALL. keep the filming in Newark...what are you using a Gopro?
Fkn awesome
The video was done from Monday to Friday as there is presence of a security guard at the federal building on Broad Street where immigration cases is mostly conducted. If this was done during the pandemic of 2020, there would be less people and transportation as shown. The yellow garbage bags are to picked up by the newly downtown district cleanup crew who have yellow uniforms. The Essex County new building was not completed. This could be 10am towards end as Liquor store on former High Street or newly MLK Jr Blvd opens 10am for law and has a delivery.. Mail trucks are out on a route.
I live on Halsey st now
How is the rent? I might be interested.
One more you could abc walk out street 😘😘💯
My church at 47:50
When you walk by those Mansion they are 1932‼️

Newark is a beautiful City I live here my entire life and I’m 45 , it has its bad areas just like any other City . Welcome ❤️
lmao Newark is a hood majority of it is atleast--They're trying to gendrify Newark to try and look like this but THIS dont even look like this. Downtown Newark is riddled with homelessness. However Forest Hills in Newark is decent. Usually retired people live there.
@Pharo Traps seriously. ironbound and forest hill. that's probably about it.
Hi, there is no people in the streets and the weather is dark. Could you please say the time you record this video? Is it morning?
This ain't the real Newark lmao. hahahah. Go to Downtown Newark all you see is homelessness.
@Trina John What I am saying, is it's staged to look suburban. I grew up and live in Newark my whole life, I have no problem with Newark. What I do have a problem is when they gentrify areas and hike up the prices of areas in Newark that should be entitled to Newark residents.
@Trina John They show videos like this to attract the white collar workers, then the property taxes go up and you'll see that more Black & Latino people will be pushed into more dilapidated areas. I'm currently in school to become a teacher and so I can work in my community of Newark, but it just saddens me on how things are going for the benefit of the wealthy and for the citizens that have been there for decades they push them out
@Trina John I grew up going to downtown Newark for holiday shopping, school shopping, just about ANYYYYTHING, I even graduated from Essex County College with my Associates. It's completely different down there. Think about it, who did they built the Whole Foods for? Who can afford it. It's all strategic. Sadly.
@Trina John And who can afford those lofts? Definitely not Newark residents. It's another form of "red lining".
Grew up in North Ward. Does no one know about Ballantine Pkwy between Parker + Ridge?
I live over in that area.
My son lives there. I'm still n Newark ironbound section but I've done my dirt in those streets back in the day 🤫
My Family moved to NWK in 1952. The Ruiz Family.
Are you Puerto Rican?
@@countryboi5828 yes.
Dayton St Projects.
Okay Arts High School
My uncle went there
I remember everyone clearing out around 6 and homeless people taking over.
What’s the point of the video? Just curious 🧐
Have you ever lived in Newark? If you did, you wouldn't be asking such a question.
Seriously? Wherever you're from, imagine a video that takes you through your hometown and you get to "visit" everything again - that's the point.
@@countryboi5828 My father had his wholesale business in the Ironbound section, and he'd take us there when we were kids, so I had a love for Newark from an early age. Who knew that years later I"d choose to work and live here! No city like the Brick City! 🥰
memory is the only paradise from which no one can ever be turned away that that my friend is the point
Not much free enterprise happening there
When you play football y o u be like brick city set go
Great bones but needs a lot of help.
Newark,NJ, is beatiful but I do hate the opresion Inmigration office, has against inmigrants, because the office is at Newark..
It’s still as ugly as I remember it: grey skies, government buildings on every corner, decay, gangs, heavy taxation, crumbling infrastructure.
Yo a bum... Mr. Macaroni, Linguini, and Guido
Sounds like you just don't like cities
Newark is terrible!
It depends.....if you've spent a significant amount of time there, you have fond memories of what once was.
@@countryboi5828 the city is still great... not was, but still is
@@jaynordiaz4609 I think you misunderstood my comment. I said ".....fond memories of what once was." Essentially it meant memories of past landmarks....the Music Room, the Paramount Theatre, Hanhes......
How sweety I’m loving it and you was probably was born with a silver spoon in your mouth 😑
A walk around tour of sht city.
where are you from?
Your momma...
@@TheImvaltor ...no, stupid. my mother gave birth to only 1 child. Unless you're a secret bastard child whos been abandoned in a dumpster behind a filthy Chinese food restaurant .. maybe
