Woody the talking tree, Cici’s pizza, Fat Boys riding the train… Grew up 80’s in Point Pleasant, I consider myself the luckiest man alive to come from such a beautiful, wholesome place. Proper people acting properly, and still hanging on to it today
As a kid, my parents bought a townhouse on Beaver Dam Creek. I grew up there and miss it terribly. I considered moving back when I found a tent under a billion dollars, but that was quickly purchased.
1946 my Mom and Dad moved to Manasquan and I started school in the kindergarten and I think it was in 1948 we moved to Point Pleasant where I continued my school at the school on Ocean Road. We lived a street across from the Manasquan canal. I finally left Point Pleasant in 1957 to join the US Navy during the Viet Nam War.
Sad to say that Point Pleasant Beach have been picking the pockets of tourists for many years and making people very paranoid about being there, I was there yesterday parking 20 bucks beach 13 bucks total rip off glad I turned away and said sorry this place is all about taking your money....and the cops are even worse, not a friendly family place anymore. This place was great in the 60's and 70's through the 80's then it got greedy...Def a place to stay away from...

80 % of my life was spent in Pt. Pleasant Beach and the Jersey Shore. Left in 2019. Great Memories !
Some guys have all the luck! 🙂👍
@@historyofthejerseyshore I'd rather be lucky than good !

My family owned and operated the Char-Broil across from Martell's for many years was a fabulous place.
I loved that place! And I think about it often.
I remember the Char-broil. Great place!
What years ? My father Larry Bissey and his friend James Wolfesburger ran the char-broil in the late 70s early 80s
@@brianbissey7279 best of my recollection mid-eighties through the nineties subsequently the building burned down.

🤣🤣🤣 it must have been so great growing up on Beaver Dam Creek....when you could afford a tent there. 😅

Sounds like some great memories!
thank you for your service 🙏 🇺🇸
What happened after your service that you didn't go back?
wow, I think Jack Nicholson grew up in Manasquan
Great video very nicely narrated. Familiar with all the spots
Thank you so much! So glad you enjoyed it. 🙂🙃
My Brother-in-laws Father had a chance to buy much of Point Pleasant . He declined, and thought it was just worthless swamp land.
A lot of it was. It would have taken a lot of money to transform our it into a beach resort community
The area had much more character in the early 1900s. It’s become too overdeveloped and now draws an unsavory crowd
That's a shame. Been a few years since I was there but there were some seedy motels on 35.
What specifically does “unsavory crowd” mean?
If the stupid train bridge would get stuck up it would keep a lot of the garbage out
It's an old shore town with no significance anymore. They don't even have a boardwalk. Asphalt is not a. boardwalk.
Yup, last time I sat on the beach was late 70’s. Just got to crowded & traffic/parking was a zoo. Migrated back up north to private beaches.
Pt. Pleasant and Manasquan were my beaches of choice as a teenager and in my 20's.
I spent a lot of great times there in my teens and 20s too!!!!
Both suck now.
Word life
The place is no way what it was in the 70’s and 80’s. Bad crowd. And to be avoided, I agree.

That is so sad to hear. Those prices! Thankfully we got to enjoy it in the 60s, 70s, and 80s.
@@historyofthejerseyshore yes very sad and the police have such bad attitudes as well down there...they deserve to have no tourists at all...
@@jesrusso4682 🙁
Good to know, I will make sure to avoid that area.
