    My mom’s been a teacher in Passaic for about 30 years and I used to live there as a kid. Went to Jefferson school #1. Things definitely go down in Passaic , it will force you to be tough. I’m appreciative of my time in Passaic, there is a lot of hard working people there , people who care about their families and their community. Passaic is one of the most diverse places I ever lived in and it shows in all the authentic local food spots. Passaic exposed me to many cultures at a young age and i feel like that’s helped me out a lot in life every where I’ve been. Passaic isn’t perfect but 4th most miserable city is a stretch 😂

    Passaic is far from the 4th most miserable city in America. It isn't even the most miserable in N.J.
    Go to Newark, Trenton, Camden, Paterson, Atlantic City, Irvington, etc. and tell me how they compare to Passaic.

    I Grew Up In Passaic In The Late 1960s Thrue The Early 1990s... I'm Going To Have To Take A Drive Through Passaic When I Go To Hackensack To See My Daughter. I See A Lot Of Things Have Changed.. The Poster Of This Video Drove Past My Old Home On The Corner Of THIRD STREET And PASSAIC STREET.. It Seems A Lot Has Changed Downtown.. ☺☺☺ Six Street Still Looks Pretty Much The Same.. And, So Does Aspen Place.. The Barbershop Is Still There.. 😄😄😄 I Might Drop In And Get A Haircut For Old Times Sake.. Just To See What It's Like.. One Thing Though.. MAIN STREET Is MID-TOWN.. Not DOWNTOWN.. MAIN STREET Divided UPTOWN. FROM DOWNTOWN.. I Hear {MAYOR LORA} Is Doing A Lot Of Wonderful Things In Passaic.. But NO PLACE In Passaic Was ((EVER)) Known As "Da Hood".. Passaic? Was Always Just Passaic.. However? I'm Gonna Drive Through To See Who's Still There In My Childhood Home.. 😎😎😎

    You should go to Paterson. I lived in passaic for 4 yrs and it doesn’t look like a miserable city but ima tell you right now living there was crazy, wild, sad, and fun at the same time. I definitely believe it is the 4th most miserable city. A lot goes on behind the scenes
