❤ Hometown

They had such beautiful stores ! In the 60's at Christmastime the streets looked like the Christmas scene in the movie "It's A Wonderful Life". Who remembers the Texas Weener hot dog place ? or the giant Lobster outside the Plainfield fish market ? And there was a movie theater,and a Woolworths (?) How about The Mt. Carmel Guild, the Salvation Army store, The Y.M.C.A., Brooks Record Store ? My parents bought furniture at the Thomas Furniture store, was it Miron's at one time ? The Queen City was so beautiful in it's hey day as was most of our N.J. cities. Sad what has happened. Thank You for these wonderful old pictures, I wish I had the fortitude to capture my memories from back then. I guess we always believe that these things will always be here.

Wow white people in Plainfield ? This is miracle, now you need magnifying glass to see them

Lived here from 1970 to 1977.

Thanks you for this. I didn't move to Plainfield until 1980 but BArbara Sanford was a dear friend until the day she passed away. She truly loved Plainfield!

Home sweet home always forever in my heart 💜🌻✌🏻

Wow 😮 this was Plainfield!! So different now…not necessarily for the better 😩

i wish people could experience how nice life was there and then , too bad it had to end

Very kool.

Love the music .

Plainfield Freedom doesn’t sound so bad at 150% of speed. I too was impressed by the quality of the images. Wonder what their hopes for themselves and Plainfield would be in fifty years. Going from north to south for work for a few years, I wish there was a highway in the eighties. A highway thru the city would have destroyed this city. I would hope for better development next to to the trainline to NYC. I haven’t read about it if it happened.

I remember Bamburgers back then time flies

Park Ave. Plfd., New Jersey. Teppers... The QUEEN 👑 🌆

I love seeing the patterns of the garden. Just beautiful.

I have been doing research and trying to find out why all those huge houses were built? when they were built? Was it when ppl farmed and had a lot of kids? Or just rich ppl having beautiful houses built. They amaze me wonder how they looked when they were in good shape

What a beautiful garden! I hope to visit it some day. Thank you for sharing.

Good old Day's

Beautiful photography of a special place. We’ll done!

The year I was born there 🥰

I grew up in North Plainfield, lived on Mountain Ave. In the 1950's all of us kids, would go to Netherwood Brook, in the winter, and go ice skating. I went to East End Elementary and then North Plainfield High School and graduated there in 1966. Such wonderful memories. This brought back such good memories. Haven't been back in decades. Thank you .

Great memories

What a wonder reminder of what "was" and what is possible . Thank you Sanford Family & Plfd Beautification Committee

Home 💜💜💜

Wow. Well all good things come to an end. Because Plainfield has been a mess for a long time now. So sad.

Wow never thought my hometown would look different.

908 forever

Great Video and pics. ruclips.net/video/QiDXdRCdPWU/видео.html

I did a photo shoot there 2 years ago. I live around the corner from there. I plan on doing another photo shoot there this summer. I love this place 💖💖💖💖💖💖

When people love the lord and obey his laws there is prosperity in the land but when the people of the land forget his laws and don't seek his help every thing goes to hell, the solution here is true repentance and true forgiveness.

My hometown 😍 - I was ten years old then

My city isn't what it was back than everything changed west end is a little warzone

I wonder where those young people are today that helped to clean up and beautify plfd.

I had to educated myself at least to some proportion before commenting. With the little research I made. I come to the conclusion that what happen to the city of plainfield was tragic . And to all the other cities that suffer that same incidents that summer in 67 . It's time to move forward . And create our own great plainfield again .

The Anti-litter parade took place on April 25, 1970

We lived at 1131 Martine ave from 1970-1974, i remember the big flood as a kid and the ghosts in our 1880s home..

Trump 20/20

A shame what happened to Plainfield hopefully it will get better like Asbury Park has

Soy latino y por cosas de la vida visité Plainfield por dos semanas, pero las cosas como son en el vídeo creo no haber visto un sólo latino pero hombre ni uno sólo y la ciudad se ve limpia, pero vamos qué las cosas como son.

These pictures are fantastic. I came onto RUclips tonight and decided to do a search for "New Jersey in 1975" & this video was one of the search results. I was born in 1975 in NJ, I still live in this state. I'm a proud Jersey Girl :) Anyway, I just wanted to say THANK YOU for putting up this video, these photos. The quality is amazing. Fantastic job!!!

My God, there was a bambergers, Macy's and Teppers! Plainfield had everything!!! Now, it's a shit hole like all of New Jersey cities!

wow looks so different compare to now

Home sweet home..... 💜🙏🏼

I love my home sweet home of Plainfield 🙏🏼

I love my hometown

Heartfelt!
