A Ride Through Historic Downtown Bridgeport CT 2022'
Outstanding work!!! I am a Bridgeport native born and raised on Remington St. This brought back a LOT of memories, thank you!!!
Thank you so much!!!!!! a lot more to come!
Thank you Sr. I love Bridgeport Gadbless you from U T A
That last shot of the Majestic and the Pharmacy that was on the corner was a killer shot. I lived on East Washington Ave and Harriet St. and I used to walk across the Congress Bridge up that hill to go to Central High in 1960. I remember the Bus Diner across the street, White Tower Hamburgers there etc. Brings back a ton of memories. Thanks so much for these 'rides'.
Thank you for watching.. I love making these video! Memories are important.
Both my wife and I were born and raised in Bridgeport. We both went to Bullard-Havens. The only structures I recognize is the boarded up Majestic and Loews Poli, and the Barnum museum. Across the street from theaters was the Lyric theater, and just a way down on Main Street was the Globe theater. All gone. All the stores used close at 5:00 pm except on Thursday, when they stayed open until 9:00 pm. Then it was wall-to-wall people and traffic. When Frouge Construction opened the Trumbull Mall that was the beginning of the end for downtown. You’re right - now it’s just an empty shell. Sad.
I remember the Ocean Sea Grill,that was a great place downtown.How about the Crystal Palace next door .Thank you for the you tube clips.
I always wondered what it looked like inside the arcade mall. You could always see the sun shining inside.
I will make a video soon of the inside
Great job Thank You
Thank you!! That means a lot to me!
great video as always
Thank you so much!!!!
there used to be a bar on that corner before they cut off the street
Great video
Thank you!!!
Thank you for doing this..it really is surreal how abandoned it all feels.
Thank you for watching!!!
Glad you picked some uplifting music on a sunny day since the practically deserted downtown is kind of depressing. I enjoyed working downtown in early 80s and it was getting depopulated then. My mother grew up there in the 1940s and it was a very bustling city, so many offices and factories, much to be proud of. Don't know what's holding the city up. Now even People's United Bank (always People's Savings Bank to me) is gone, bought out by a Buffalo bank and many lost jobs. If they could only get a brave, honest mayor and some companies to relocate from lower Fairfield County. A popular chain store that's popping up all over, Ocean State Job Lot (from RI) refuses to open a store in Bridgeport.
It's normally very busy... I filmed early on a Sunday. It's easier to film with less people around plus... It kinda freaks people out when you record around them..lol
If the pharmacy was Ethical Pharmacy, I used to work there when I was 15/16.
The bank, was that People’s Savings Bank? The Connecticut National Bank building looks like it’s gone?
I recognized The Barnum Museum.
yes.. it was Ethical Pharmacy and all the banks are gone.. People's was sold last year.
What happen to the train station and bus station ? I was born and went to school in Bridgeport, I left in 1971 and haven't visited since 1983 .
They are still there. I use the train station a lot. It's so nice.
BOO HOO. VERY VERY SAD.
HOW SAD.
Sad was your mom didn’t swallow u, idiot, someone from Bridgeport stole your gurl 😂😂
