I love listening to the story my Grandad (Mr.Anderson) will tell me as a little girl,How my mom and siblings grow up on Epprit st back in the 60’s and looking at pictures and seeing how beautiful Epprit st used to look. Nice video I enjoyed it alot.
As most Essex County residents, my family and I bounced back and fourth between Newark and East Orange. I was born in the Bricks in 1973 then we moved to East Orange around 1981, then back and fourth every 2 years or so. You know normal stability shit like all impoverished families do . So' much has changed since the 1900's, but I will always love my home towns!
Oraton pkwy.. wow. I lived on Springdale Ave and Brighton. Went to Clifford J Scott High school. C/O "2000"! I was born in "1981-" my dad moved here in "1982"- I left in "2002".
Hi, Found your East Orange films. I didn't know till watching them that when I arrived in 1972, for an unexpectedly-short two years, I was there at a major change point. I lived in the smallest unit in Prospect Towers and taught at the now defunct Upsala College. I often walked to downtown East Orange and enjoyed several cafes and small stores. I hiked further to Pathmark. I found it safe then, often returning from evening in NYC on the suburban bus that stopped in front of my building. Trump, of course, owned the building. Definitely did not like him then. But many of my memories are fond. Thank you.
Hart middle school was a horrible concept of open classrooms,so hard to concentrate in classrooms or learn because of all the noise/fighting coming from all the other 12 plus open classrooms. I went there a few years after it opened, the roof always leaked, paint peeling, a lot of small issues that resulted in big problems. But I have fond memories of EO.
@@robcrossley6075 right.. my mom went there and said each "building" was for each grade. By the time I went each building was its own separate school but we shared the main areas like the gyms, pool, auditorium, one of the cafeterias, and the nurse office. It was an interesting experience.
@@ms.craftycapricorn9475 I probably went there with your mom 😀 Yes each building was for a different grade level A-8th grade, B-7th grade, C-6th grade. When you attended they changed the names to important African American leaders.
I was born in '79 and was around E. Orange in the 90s.. and did not remember white people really living there. So i'm thinking white flight happened around the late 70s early 80s
Born and raised in Doddtown. I'm just here to look at all the cool old cars
My city from birth 1970 to 2004... no matter where I live, the memories of East Orange will always be home for me 🥰🥰
Born in Newark, Grew up in East Orange......Forever Proud of it!!
I will always love East Orange
Me too!

What’s crazy and beautiful at the same time is that the children in this video are all at senior citizen age now.
Very good informative video..
Eventually I grew up in the 90's so EO was really bad but now being away EO is rebuilding for the better

I lived in East Orange from May,1967 to December, 1998.
I lived on Prospect Street in nineteen sixty nine. Went to the Franklin school!
Politics stole that City slam landlords below-average schools
Hi,

Downtown East Orange? Where would that even be?
@@RuffHouse862 Not certain but I think it was both along Central Ave as well as Main Street (Brick Church area)
Downtown east orange is located on central Ave (Uptown)
@@RuffHouse862 I believe downtown EO was Main and Winans up to Main and Harrison
I lived on Prospect Street in 1969. I remember protesting the vietnam war with my brother Upsala college!
I'm from original from Doddtown section of East Orange. Later on I moved across town, where the rowdiness took place.
Interesting never knew any of this I used to live on North Clinton Street.
Born in NJ Lived in orange
RIP upsula college
Live there over 50 yrs and watched it demise.1959 -2016
Excellent video!!!!
@2:30… that’s now an apartment building lol. I remember when they remodeled it
what are the two films in this video?
Interesting! Where could I find the full film of the first one
The people in this film have no idea of the crime, drugs and shootings that await them in the 1980s.
BELOVED MAYOR WILLIAM HART, THE FIRST BLACK MAYOR OF EAST ORANGE

@@robcrossley6075 I went there as well… a lot later than you but I had no issues there
@@ms.craftycapricorn9475 years later they fixed some of the issues and made name changes to each of the buildings

Early 70s
What year was this created?
perfect commentary; most of the whites have moved out. " howdy east orange", and so it goes. ( in west bollocksville )
I like the Bob Dylan quote: "So long, New York! Howdy, East Orange!"
They should rename it shineVille
