Almost cried watching this. Im only 18 and I grew lived in Phillipsburg and Wilson. I left in 2015 and have been in texas ever since. I spent 14 years in that area and I miss it everyday. Thank you for the memories and tour.
Very cool to take this virtual drive again! I left Easton in 1982, but the drive from downtown all the way to the 1818 Tavern was very familiar. I lived in Palmer just a little further behind The 1818. Looks just about the same still!
I want to thank you for doing this video. I learned that my Seifert/Ohneberg G-G-Grandparents came to Easton from states in what is now Germany, found each other, married and had a daughter before moving on to Missouri. I have been reading all I can about the history. So going with you on this drive was like sitting in the passenger side of your car and having you drive me around. This was a great Sunday drive.
I used to lve in Easton from 2001 to 2009 and I sort of liked that town without much character. I enjoyed watching your video all the way and finding all these restaurants, bars, delis, etc i used to go. Bet you filmed while i was there because the gas station on northampton and 23rd (i think) is no longer on Mobil brand, and a car 's license plate started with "E" and so did my Subaru. Thanks for posting.
Omg! Thanks for this! I grew up in Easton PA on 12th and Spring Garden St! I’ve been living in Florida for past 6yrs. So good to see home again! I remember all those streets and places. I see this was shot 8yrs ago- wonder if it’s changed much? Memory lane! ❤
nice tour, bring back memories, too bad all the good places I enjoyed growing up has no all but passed, Been away for going on 25 years now, still miss the pizza, and other delights,
Good food at Uncle Wesley's and Frinzi's (The Friendliest Place in Town), not so good food at the LD. I also remember a place called Eddie's but I forget where it was. They had Italian style tripe. Used to drink at the College Hill Tavern, a guy named Bob ran it with his wife. Gassed up at Grube's Gulf on Cattell St. I see Jim's Doggies is still there- heartburn specials. There was a bar in P'burg next to Jim's, forget what it was called. Lots of good memories from the late 60's and 70's.
Lived there from 72 to 92, if you got to the top of the hill on greenwood Ave our house would have been the third one on the right side, I'll make it back someday, brought back a lot of memories, our neighbors were the larosas
Your turn onto Rt 248 by the 25th Street shopping center IS NOT Northampton Street!!! Northampton Street continues straight thru the light and 248 is a different road. AND you are correct when you say Easton was a much nicer town in the 1950s!
love the video! i lived on Northampton for 7 years at a wonderful cheap apt.. now i'm still close by ..returned after getting ripped off by apartments in Bethlehem
My dad lives in Easton and I go there on Friday and leave on Sunday because I have school the next day I used to live there when I was born to when I was 5. I have a lot of memories there and it just makes me so happy but then there are the downs like my mom and dad fighted and I had to move so now I'm 9 and yeah.
QUESTION(S) : What's the name of those signals at 3:01 without the yellow arrow? Do they even use them anymore? Also : Why is the hospital so bad? I've heard some not so great things about them. And when was that Palmer Township Railroad removed?
Rick Mammana I don't think so. I can vaguely remember them still there in the late 90's. You mean the one that went by the bakery and Pfizer? And also near Bushkill Park?
Rob Goodheart That could be fun, but I'm not sure if they would let me record inside. Some businesses are funny that way. I've already been told about it in wegmans, a dollar store and Burger King. I guess they were afraid of what I might see? Haaa
Rick Mammana So long as we're not badmouthing the place, I don't think there would be a problem at all. Buy a couple cigars, chow down on an awesome burger or cut of prime rib, paired with a craft beer or scotch/whiskey (they have tons)...
Ruth Black You're right. it was so much nicer 20 years ago and more. it is bad now. I don't miss living there but I have good memories from those days. :)
Your commentary was very unsatisfying ... you point out a pizza place and an auto repair place but you make no mention (although you pass it) the Bachmann Tavern a very historic colonial era tavern visited by Ben Franklin, the Crayola "Experience" Factory - Easton's claim to fame is Crayola Crayons, or even Porter's Pub which is well known throughout the state for it's artisan brews. The place was gritty and run down in years past, but it is making a comeback. There is a new indoor Market which is like a mini-version of Philly's Reading Terminal.

Thank you for sharing this. I grew up in Easton, but moved a while ago. It was great to see this, It brought back so many memories!
You're welcome! I'm glad you liked it! :)
Beautiful! Really enjoyed watching it.
My friend just moved there. Very peaceful place

Hi, I'm glad you liked the video! You're right about the gas station on 23rd. I filmed this in 2014. :)
HI Glad to find you , boss!

Thanks for the tour! Moving to Easton in June.
nice tour, bring back memories, too bad all the good places I enjoyed growing up has no all but passed, Been away for going on 25 years now, still miss the pizza, and other delights,
+jeff r Hi, Yeah it's definitely not like it used to be!
Good food at Uncle Wesley's and Frinzi's (The Friendliest Place in Town), not so good food at the LD. I also remember a place called Eddie's but I forget where it was. They had Italian style tripe. Used to drink at the College Hill Tavern, a guy named Bob ran it with his wife. Gassed up at Grube's Gulf on Cattell St. I see Jim's Doggies is still there- heartburn specials.

I remember all of those places. The Wardell was next to Jimmy's and the Box Car after that.
Lived there from 2000-2017 (since I was born).. man I miss it.
It was great in 1960 lots of stores
Lived there from 72 to 92, if you got to the top of the hill on greenwood Ave our house would have been the third one on the right side, I'll make it back someday, brought back a lot of memories, our neighbors were the larosas

Nice videos rick. Glad to see a TH-camr from the area👍🏼
+Search Magic Thank You Very Much! 😁
Hey thank you for the video, a really nice taste of home.
You talked so much crap on Easton. Not cool man.
hi Shohei san, how is evrything?
I lived in Easton from 2008 to 2013.
I lived in Easton I lived there 2010 through 2015
interesting video! really enjoyed your city despite far away from it. expect more videos of pennsylvania
+Rod Rust Nice! I'm glad you liked it!
love the video! i lived on Northampton for 7 years at a wonderful cheap apt.. now i'm still close by ..returned after getting ripped off by apartments in Bethlehem
+Diane Reppert I lived on Northampton st near Dunkin Donuts back in the 80s. It was nice but it sure has changed.
My dad lives in Easton and I go there on Friday and leave on Sunday because I have school the next day I used to live there when I was born to when I was 5. I have a lot of memories there and it just makes me so happy but then there are the downs like my mom and dad fighted and I had to move so now I'm 9 and yeah.
+Pinkie Pie I remember the day of the market I was there and my dad got salsa.
That's nice that you lived there. I still live there.
I kinda still live there some times
where do you live in Easton?
QUESTION(S) : What's the name of those signals at 3:01 without the yellow arrow? Do they even use them anymore?
Also : Why is the hospital so bad? I've heard some not so great things about them.
And when was that Palmer Township Railroad removed?
+Ryan Blanche I'm not sure about the signals. And I just don't like hospitals. I think the railroad tracks in Palmer were removed in the early 80s.
Rick Mammana I don't think so. I can vaguely remember them still there in the late 90's. You mean the one that went by the bakery and Pfizer? And also near Bushkill Park?
we are thinking of moving there but people who live in PA say parts of Easton is high crime. Any opinion?
Yes parts of Easton are bad but other sections are good. Most cities are like that these days.
No Easton in 2023 has a very low crime. There are no car jackings, no home break ins no muggings etc. Its very nice safe place to live.
And right across the old folks home there is a ice cream shop I went there and always got Italian ice YUMM!
Oh Yeah Yum!
I've been to the Palmer park mall, nice little place. (helpful radio shack) How about a tour of Famous smoke shop and Leaf restaurant? ;-)
Ahh. I've been to both places. That's a good idea!
Rick Mammana if you feel like having a guest on that vid, I'd totally come up!
Rob Goodheart That could be fun, but I'm not sure if they would let me record inside. Some businesses are funny that way. I've already been told about it in wegmans, a dollar store and Burger King. I guess they were afraid of what I might see? Haaa

Nice! Visiting soon!
315 North 11 th St...Apt C... that's where I lived before moving to tx last year...lived here for almost 10 years..moved here in 2006
+Ruth Black Nice! I lived on S.9th years ago. :)
Ruth Black You're right. it was so much nicer 20 years ago and more. it is bad now. I don't miss living there but I have good memories from those days. :)
Lived on N 15th Street...hated it with a passion... Moved to Houston Tx
Nice video, from a Wilson HS grad.
+stet8310 Great! Glad you enjoyed this. :)
Heh I still live here, good days honestly.
At 6:09, Do you remember you had to be in the right lane to go straight?
Yes Or you can turn right.
Your commentary was very unsatisfying ... you point out a pizza place and an auto repair place but you make no mention (although you pass it) the Bachmann Tavern a very historic colonial era tavern visited by Ben Franklin, the Crayola "Experience" Factory - Easton's claim to fame is Crayola Crayons, or even Porter's Pub which is well known throughout the state for it's artisan brews. The place was gritty and run down in years past, but it is making a comeback. There is a new indoor Market which is like a mini-version of Philly's Reading Terminal.
Sorry I was unsatisfying.
I heard Southside easton is a bad area I've drivin through it with my family and it looked like it was trashed but the rest of Easton was decent.
It's really not too bad. That's where I grew up. Although its not as nice as it was back then. Thanks for watching!
@@RickMammana welcome man
