Man I used to live in Elizabeth NJ. My girlfriend died in 2017. I left after that and came back home to Brooklyn NY. That's where I'm from. But I had nothing but bad times in Elizabeth. I was on drugs I went to prison and my life was all messed up. But I got it all together now. I been of drugs for 15 years now. And my life is so much better now. Thank God for that.
Thanks for this video! I grew up in Elizabeth back in the late '60s and '70s, lots of great memories of a happy childhood during a much simpler time. We lived in the Elmora section for years, close to Warinanco Park. I have so many pictures of me as a child with the tulips and the ducks!!☺We'd go biking there and ice skating. And we'd have track meets there for school as well. Good times! We moved to CA in '77, and I haven't been back since the blizzard of 1978, when we (happily) got stuck there for two extra weeks! Practically all of my childhood friends moved to other parts of NJ or other states, though.
Great. Thanks!
i used to live in Elizabeth from 2002 to 2011. the thing i liked about it was that everything was conveniently placed. i could walk or ride my bicycle anywhere. i walked to and from Union County College, the Rite Aid on Broad street, the train station to go to either New York or Philadelphia. rode my bike to the Jersey Gardens Mall to buy music at F.Y.E.. i had no complaints. those were good times. wish i could have them back.
I remember back in the mid 80s downtown Elizabeth was a hell of a lot cleaner than downtown Newark !!!!
Yup, unfortunately things are changing for the worse . 😕
Thanks for watching man!
Growing up there was fun .back in the .60s .lot of new stores .my kids grew up on the layaway plans .school clothes and Christmas toys .not much different still looks good to me . 😊
No it doesn’t it’s a hot mess
Missing Jersey a lot.
I’m from Elizabeth. They have some really good Spanish food. I also like that it’s close to Newyork. Thanks for sharing.. 😊
Welcome!!, indeed nice little town, except for some few bad places. But I liked it.
Would like to see the nice restaurants.
That's one positive side of Elizabeth.
Look for the good in these towns.
Is Elizabeth ur town? Do u live there,?
I think u do because this is the first halfway positive video u have done!
Good for you!
Keep up the good work.
Now seek out some good in Newark and other cities because there's good in them too amist all the bad.
We just have to look deeper for the good
Was a great town. Lots of history too.
Every State has it's bad spots, but this looks pretty good to me.
I love videos like these ! Do as many cities / towns as you can !
Thanks man!
Yes, I will be uploading more videos like this.
Thanks for the support. 😊
@@willyG503How about Patterson New Jersey? Lots of fiends there
@@decimated550 I will record in paterson soon!
Awesome channel. I use to live in east Rutherford. Curious to see if it made it through the test of time.if you are ever in that area,if not no worries.stay safe
Thanks for watching and support.
Your request is noted, I will try to accommodate and film that video!
@@willyG503 looking forward to it 👍
This city is predominantly Spanish speaking demographic working poor , working class- with a residual of Irish , Polish , Italian , Portugués -
City has become increasingly dense and is a hub with great access to shopping , NYC, food, services , travel and houses a large sea port for goods, EWR airport , ikea , outlets , Board of Education , and county Court. This place is busy.
Yes it’s an immigrant mess
This city is lowclass
Thanks for the video! Do you ever have to go to physical therapy with all the driving you do [for us!] - it has to be hard on the back and the organs! Gotta say, the streets themselves (physically) don't look bad - a lot of them look like they were done over. Most places only work on the upper class (maybe suburban middle class if lucky) areas and leave horrible streets in the poorer areas. They rarely care about regular people or people that are just trying to find their way everyday in the world. I admit I get a bit triggered at Elizabeth. In the 70s my mom and dad drove throughout Jersey daily for their jobs after we moved from NYC and my mom was always the designated to/from airport driver (she was such a terrific driver since she was 16), but one of the many times she drove through the snow and ice on a latenight to drop off my dad at Newark, she had a near accident and had a really horrible skid through some black ice. She was never the same (it wasn't the first time or the 200th time, but for some reason THIS time did it) and eventually stopped driving altogether (hid it from my dad too for a long time). She had to give up her job caring for seniors (she drove them to grocery, doctors, all over). I was never comfortable driving because of my mom's trauma. Bad cycle man! But Elizabeth looks better than I thought it would.
Gives me nostalgia. That's my hometown
Elizabeth has been better than Newark for many years. Downtown Newark is seeing some improvements and the negative effects of the defund the police and the lack of prosecution of criminals have not dramatic as they have been in NYC since 2020.😊
124 Catherine St for life
I was born there in 1973, lived in Union or Morris Avenue until I was about 3 maybe then moved to Barnegat and now I'm in Texas.
Doesn't look so bad
Depends of what area you're at. Some parts are wors than what you see in this video.. I just don't dare to go there. Thanks for your comment.
lol don’t let it fool you mane 😂😂
Absolutely. Looks just fine. At about 16.00 that is a very nice neighborhood yet the poster says "no one cares."
Newark and Elizabeth used to be the highest rates of syphillus in the 70’s and 80’s. Antibiotics work!
Lol, that was funny 😁
I was expecting to see another Camden here, but ehh. I must have missed something lol. It wasn't a shit hole by any means. Some rough patches here and there but nothing extremely horrific.
Elizabeth is ok compared to other cities. Thanks for watching tho!
Elizabeth is not bad next time I go to Elizabeth I’ll show you guy’s all the area’s on my channel & this is coming from a realtor at that . ❤
Not all Elizabeth is bad!
Just some of its areas !
Elizabeth is bad and very racist
I'm sleeping at North Elizabeth train station right now and I watched some lady get hit by and killed the chain of 4:00 yesterday afternoon, I save two people's lives in the last three and a half weeks that overdosed on the southbound side of the train station. And that was just those 3 weeks that's not to mention how many people I've saved up by the park by twin City and not to mention I also was dead in that Park 7 months ago..
What happened?
I❤❤❤❤ Elizabeth nj my birthplace & stomping ground jersey garden mall 💵💵💵💵💵 the pier I had a great childhood growing up
cool! Some places are nice. I like the mall too.
RIP.. Tony c..fat joey.. Nick ( usmc 1947- 68')☦️🍕
Not bad. Not bad at all.
I do I work there Newark Airport and I'm from queens ny
What is wrong with Elizabeth?
EFD, busiest FD in Union County great dept, cant speak on much else
HELP ITS NOT EVEN A HOOD
Elizabeth is not a friendly or sociable town, which is why few people care about it.
Elizabeth is very demonic
Oh yeah so scary.
Catherine and Grant
Doesn’t look bad to me
New York fried chicken off of i9 is 💥
I care about it
I don't see what you're trying to prove. Elizabeth looks just like it did when I lived there in 1967-69. You drove within a block of my house ... a few times. And my sister's. And my cousin's. Westminster Ave was nice then, and looks like it still is. While you were on North Ave, why didn't you go down to the Elmora section?
Democrat run..
I guess you're right!
But we as a community should take better care of our neighborhoods ! Just my opinion.
gatbage
Just shows are immigration including legal immigrants has changed this State in the 80 s Ronald Reagan won this State twice . We need a 25 better yet 30 year moratorium on all forms of Immigration !!!!!!
Missippi poorest state in the country Republican run. So what's your point?
It doesn't look bad at all
Iwas trying to see how bad this city looks doesn't look as bad as Bridgeport Connecticut
No.
You blithely claim "it seems like nobody cares" and yet your own video shows the vast majority of places your drive have streets that are clean, cars are well kept and not trashy, yards and public areas tidy....Even the industrial areas are not all that bad. Look at your own video. Please don't make erroneous judgements about cities because you are either unreasonably scared of places with lots of apartment buildings or are writing provocative headlines for good clickbait.
Wrong ad what yah saying
Como extraño New Jersey 😞
