I lived in Pierce Manor from 1955 - 1969. I went to School 10, School 23, Hamilton, and then Jefferson. We must have gone to school together. I used to love the parades on all the patriotic holidays. Remember the doughnut bus?
hey i used to live in elizabeth went to school 15 for a few years now in linden but i visit elizabeth ave and broad street often great city though used to go to the college 2 years ago im italian i remeber the fireworks they had when they won the world cup in 2006 love that city
A shame what happened to Elizabeth. My grandparents first lived on Spencer Street then at the corner of 3rd ave and Palmer - across from Paranella's deli. Mrs. Paranella used to sit outside every day - she looked like 100 years old. My Grandfather used to go to Petrillo's to get the hot bread after going to church at St. Anthony's on Sundays, and we would put salt w/olive oil on it when he got back. We would also hit Stacy's Deli, which was right across from St. Anthony's. I also remember Jerry's hotdog, which was next to their rival Tommy's. I also remember going to Kolker's toy store and Newman's 5 and dime on broad street. All of my family still gets buried by Corsentino's on 2nd ave. My mom and aunt went to Battin high as well (I have one of the brass door knobs from the school that has Battin High molded into it), and my grandfather was the head janitor at EHS from when it first got built for many years until he retired - his family had a lemon ice stand way back as well. These were good times. Shame on the way it just got forgotten by the state and let go. St. Roccos used to be safe and you could walk on 3rd ave at midnight without fear of getting mugged.
Dang! Ithink I was photographed by ur dad for my fifteens-right next to the Arrepientete Cristo Viene Pronto place ( next to El Palmar or Alvarez Cafe?)...long time ago (80's).
Let me clarify.....there is a White Castle on Westfield Ave & Elmora -- been there many years. The old White Castle near the Bayway Circle in Linden was torn down like 25 years ago and relocated down Route 1 South to a larger building at the corner of Park and Route 1. There is now a TGI Friday's across from WC. Built and in operation for about 2 months now. The old White Castle on Route 1 in Rahway is no longer in operation.
Yes, it was- my father, raised on Jersey Ave. & born in the mid '30s, went to that same White Castle as a middle school graduation lunch (they were poor) around the year 1948. Crazy, huh?
My sister went to Jefferson High, but sadly it's now part of "Elizabeth High School" (they took all the High School's in the city and made them into one big High School) If you ask me, it's poorly managed due to it's size (7,000 students), and I'm in favor of seperating the Houses into different High Schools again.
Your ignorant, because my uncle remembers elizabeth back in 1965 when he first moved there. "Spanish" people have not ruined it, since Cubans have been living there right next to the Italians since the 1940's, not the 1980's; (and even then, Elizabeth Avenue was built by the Cubans, before that all businesses were on 3rd St..)

The marching band in red & white is the Polish Falcons. The next band with the plumes look like the "mummers" from Philly.
I noticed the Fanny Farmer too-use to go there alot as a kid in late 70's.
Elizabeth once had the best stores around. Sure miss the oldtimers...

I've been told, that after careful examination, this film was not shot in Elizabeth, NJ but Atlantic City, NJ
Michael Lerner it's Elizabeth for sure

@@flamingseven8447 Thanks!
This is Elizabeth Nj on broad street I see Fanny farmer chocolate store next to where shoppers world use to be now its avenue store
You've got that right.
If you lived on Westfield Ave the closest WC was at the corner of Elmora Ave and Westfield Ave. I know it was there in 1953.
you were there during the time this took place?
I liked putting the potatoes on the hotdogs qith chili and mustard.

This parade was not in Elizabeth, these stores were never here.

Hahahah nico, good one!!!
The city doesn't even have bi-lingual signs which are cool but many only in spanish. That's not right.
