Thanks for posting, my dad taught science there in the late 1950's I believe.

Does anyone out there that has any memories of the Pavillon that was by Dodie Road? I found a sign where it once stood. stating that Rock n Roll bands used to play there...

I LIVED IN OAKLAND TOO ...INDIAN HILLS HI SCHOOL GREAT PLACE

I grew up in Oakland from 1952 till 1970. The picture of the first drum and bugle corp, my dad is standing on the left( part of the color guard)along with my uncle ( also color guard ). Great times. I remember memorial day parades, the whole town lined main st.

I can't believe this came up again in my feed! Oakland was voted the Whitest little town in America on several occasions according to my little sister who still lives in NJ. Maybe that's why we pine for the good old days when we still had control of our culture and communities. Africa for the Africans, Asian for the Asians, White countries for everbody? Thank the Khazarians for that.

HEY LARRY FARAGALLI LIVES IN NASHVILLE NOW COOL GUY

P.S LOVED HANGING OUT AT THE WIGWAM REMEMBER POP AND CARMINE ????

OMG I MISS OAKLAND HAD A BLAST THERE ~~NANCY NOW IN TEXAS 1969 GREAT YEAR

Mr Thompson 👍🏻👍🏻

I haven't lived there since the mid-1970's. All the changes! Wow! At least the Oakland Public Library is still there at the *old* Ponds Church building. Of course, they may no longer use actual books!😆

So crazy to think this is where I’m growing up

My precious home town

Wow! Thank you Tom. Flooded with memories of Oakland. Great song!

Many Yeomans lived in that great Town wish I could go back in time !

Used to love going to Hen's Roost on Fridays for fish and chips with my Dad sometimes....special times with a special man who loved Oakland too and coached little league etc....He just passed away on October 11th and I thank you for these memories you have shared with us....it truly was a special place....

I remember pre 287 and Sears Surplus and Buster Browns shoes and 5 & 10 and Ying King Chinese Food and Oakland Pizza Grand Union and Food Town and The Notebook and Krauszers (sorry about the spelling)...Dr. Kearney and Doc Davey etc...

Did I miss it or was there a shot of the old Wig Wam? It was a great place to be....Oakland, I mean....Thank you for posting this...I liked the old pic of the snow covered streets....

I recognized maybe 2 buildings and I’ve been living here for the past 11 years. That’s crazy

I've been in Ringwood, NJ for 25 years, and am in Oakland every day. I don't recognize anything!! Not one building!! Wow!!

Much of the old stuff disappeared when 287 came through... The town became more expensive to live in by then, too! ---- Cool! The Old Dome 3:18 by the Old Chapel 3:37... Until they were ripped down sometime in the late 90s/early 00s, both the Chapel and the Dome were the last vestiges of the old Edward Day Page Estate...All gone now!

Nobody sings this song like the late great Porter Waggoner, Butl Ives also pretty good

Went to OMA from 1949-1961. Changed to Oakland Academy (no military) in 1956. Most of this video is earlier than 1950. I remember all the horses named. and I can name a number more: Turnpike, Escapade, Sugar Plum (Bumps), Miss Canada,, faux pax, Diane Brady's horse: Caramel, Nils Lommerin's horse: Goldie & Miss Pep. It's only the last portion of the video which was shot in the 50's

I miss Oaklb.and . Grew up there from 72 to 01 . Good memories

Thanks...the 1960's and 70's... was a great place to grow up...have many good memories.

I remember this place, plus Mullers and Sandy beach. The day of the Jamaican Jamboree I was at the Riverdale Armory for our drill weekend. We were put on standby until late evening so we were available to help search for weapons if needed. The story we heard was that Mullers wanted to build condos on the property, OR sell to a builder that wanted to. The town wouldn't approve this so Mullers started holding events that the people wouldn't like to force the towns hand. I don't know how true this is.

Great song. I remember those places growing up there in the 60"s and 70"s taking lessons at Oakland Music Center. Played a gig with Tom once somewhere there.

The Diner!

0-0 MY HOUSE!

A treasure of a video makes us nostalgic for the small town days! Just terrific!

Great Video. 💗🐴🐴💗

I grew up across the street from the academy. I lived next store to the Penny's house. They had a carnival there, but I was a little guy and always afraid to ride the horses.

I did not realize it then but i really loved growing up in Oakland as a kid in the 70s and 80s carls stationary 5&10 the wigwam lol and the picture of the old chapel we all hung out up there in the woods great memories and my mom still lives there

The song is fantastic. How can I purchase it?

Hi Kevin, I have a question - Upstream of the weir above Potash lake on the right bank is a framework bar structure. It sits on a rock and cement bulkhead with stairs on either side going down to the water, but ending well above the current water level. To the left is what looks like the remains of a diving board mount. Do you know what that structure is? I went through your videos and did not see anything that matched that location. Thanks!

pleasure land where in 80s two rival Jamaican gangs from the bronx ny started shooting killing 4 and wounding 11 forcing the closure to the land of pleasure

Tommy, That is the best song ever . Brought back so many great memories . Moving to Florida but my heart will always be in Oakland. Thanks for being a friend all these years. My prayers always include Liam. See you in the Spring. Hi Karen. Diane Spiccia Brown

Did that place ever really exist?

Did that place ever really exist?

Nancy and I have 35 years of good memories there--thanks for sharing!

Kevin, having attended Jay's day camp (and being in the photo) I wondered how you happened to include that photo in your montage, which I enjoyed very much. J

I use to take riding lessons there in the early 60's. I always got a gentle horse to ride named Matinee. (had a roman nose) Always drew straws for him and got to ride him every time. There was a horse named Crew Cut, Apple Sauce, and Lucky Strike, a big white Hunter. A little pony named Mickey Mouse ridin by a young boy. That big white horse in the film maybe that is Lucky Strike looks like him.

1960's 1970's when I was a child, my father would drive the family from Greenpoint Brooklyn to Pleasureland Park, we were there on a saturday & their were bands playing on stage & had hits on the radio performing.

Thanks for the memories!

Beautiful, thank you

It looks nothing like that now.
