As you got to the end of Railroad Ave, and turned left... you were heading right into my childhood neighborhood! :) But then you turned left before you got to it. ;) Still so many familiar things, tho... the former "Eastern Bag & Paper" building... you drove by it twice. :) I have memories as a kid going there with my Dad to buy the large trash bags that the commercial grade trash compactor needed! He was the Superintendent of an apartment building on Ellsworth St... So many memories!!!
@@AryLand1975 585 Ellsworth St. It's an apartment building on the short end, north of the Post Rd. I personally drove through there about maybe a year ago, so don't go "out of your way"... but if you are going to film the Black Rock neighborhood anyway, then that's cool. :)
Grew up on Lafayette and Atlantic st. during the 70’s, then on Rennell st. and Atlantic all through the 80’s and half of the 90’s. Great vid. Brought back a lot of memories. 😉
At the turn of the 20th Century there were around 500 factories in Bridgeport and some in the South End still stand today - empty and dilapidated. Some of them are owned by NY real estate prospectors who have left these eyesores to rot and they reflect badly on the city. They are valued at a fraction of what the owners want to sell them for, so they sit. But the city has finally woken up and this summer is attempting to take over at least one of them by eminent domain, the Warnaco Factory - which process is still in the works. It's sad to see the poor shape the pavement on some streets has become. Like citizens in many American cities, we're wondering whatever happened to that $1 Trillion Infrastructure Bill that was passed in 2021 that was to fund bridge and street repair, etc.
Wow, does the video bring back memories! I lived at 190 Atlantic Street and 27 Prospect Street 1950s, then moved to the East End in 1960. It was wonderful growing in the South End during those years. I often wonder what happened to my best friend Sam Jimenez. He had an older brother named Ray (Ramon) and lived on Lafayette Street. He attended Central HS, while I went off to Harding. The last time I saw him was at the Harding- Central Thanksgiving Football Game in 1963. He played for Central; I played for Harding. I miss you, Sam!
Amazing and Thanks Ary. First 5 years of my life 1952 -'57 was in the old Black Rock Village on Albion St. You went right by it late in the video. Seaside brings back big memories, that's for sure. Hoping to see you do a West End video, would like to see our old house on Colorado and North
It’s Easter Sunday, and my memories from over 60 years ago return to Beardsley Park in the flower garden. You would have had to live there and grow up there to understand why anyone would love this once industrial giant turned rusty. This is where I was born and my father was born as well, the first in our family born in this country, it’s home
Thank you for including a picture of the the grille and snack shop near Seaside Park, --I guess that means it's gone now... It was good, but I can't remember its name! :-(
Wow, I never thought nobody's Was going to record the backstreets of Main Street. I used to work there in that street. The bottle redemption when that first opened. I worked there for 5 years Wow, that Really brought me some memory Those Was the good times.
I worked for Penn Central, Conrail and Metro North in the 70's and 80's. Loads of fun working in "Two Gun Hoods", like Central Ave, Burr Road and Peck Bridge. In spite of this, I think BPT was a lot better in the 80's. Frankie and Johnny's, Bert's Place and other dives were actually fun...

wanted to watch the video, music was too annoying
you could turn it down and watch.

Homa's restaurant seaside park😂
Bridgeport was a shythole in the 1970's...so whats so different now. Looks the same to me.
Then you didn't the video and you are just a hater.. no one is forcing you to watch... no go away.. don't need shithole people on here.
You're going to be miserable no matter where you are at
