Walking New Jersey's West Side Avenue in Jersey City (January 2022)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 3 фев 2022
- I walk on West Side Avenue in Jersey City, NJ for the first time from the Light Rail Station to Journal Square. I was surprised by how much shopping was available on the West Side. There was also plenty of car traffic on this street, and a local park named Lincoln Park with views of the Pulaski Skyway. This portion of Jersey City is very diverse, with people from all ethnic backgrounds.

THANK YOU. It has been almost 30 yrs since I have been home. Much of west side has changed ,but still saw many things that brought back many memories. I walked each step with you as I had done so many times before . Best of Luck to you God bless you an keep you safe.
I really appreciate this video. Its been about 20 years since I was in Jersey City. I grew up in the Greenville section. These were very pleasant memories for me. Thank you so much ActionKid For sharing !
I play baseball in Greenville too on little league
Man this means a lot to me. I grew up in San Diego but my whole family was from Jersey City and grew up on West side ave. My uncle owned a pub on this street called “Dohoneys” (half time now) (featured in Ghostdog with Forest Whitaker). Can see seen (black building red awning right hand side 26:12)
I have extremely fond memories of this place!. The characters and the buzz of this place in the 80’s 90’s is nothing I will ever forget! Being from the west coast visiting here every summer was a culture shock x5.
RIP uncle Faa… thanks for showing me this crazy place.
I used to go to Dohoney's when I was at St Peter's College.
Beautiful response. I've never been to any part of Jersey but have friends and co-workers from there. It's an underappreciated place.
@@gefflimlin8095 it’s was interesting my uncles Irish pub turned into a college dive haha. They were doing great around that time. Good times for sure!.
Me too I live there to on west side Ave and what to p.s 16 born in city I miss it
I never went into Dohoney's, but passed it every day on my way to school at St. Al's. I want to thank the Dohoney's customer who must have had a hole in his pocket when he walked home. At least three time I was able to pick up enough change between Dohoney's & Fairview Avenue to get a Good Humor after school.
Love it. I grew up on the West Side, Ege Ave., in the 1960s and 1970s. Where the mural was was my street you can see one of the schools I went to, Our Lady of Victories. At Virginia Ave. when you crossed the street was where my other school PS 24 was. Went to the Dairy Queen so many times. I walked to Lincoln Park virtually every day growing up. That playground you see in your video was very different. It was all concrete, there was a sprinkler for summer. The playground equipment wasn't very safe, you could get really injured on the slides and other stuff. I played football with my friends in a field there 50 years ago. I have images of these streets from 40-55+ years ago, I am 60 now. Thank you for a trip down memory lane. I like what my old neighborhood is like now. Thank you for this video.
PS 24 alumni :-)
Did you know Muller’s Deli? My grandparents owned it
@@910raw Wow Muller's Deli and Struls bakery. Grew up on Claremont and Westside across from Lightolier now Board of Ed.. Train station now light rail, house lived in, whole row burned down and now condos. Finished grammar school at Washington school and Daniel P Sweeney high, (Bayonne High). Children and grandchildren also graduated from there
Wow! Born and raised in JC grew up in the Westside area near Duncan. So many memories of Sabbie’s corner store and the meat market a couple doors over. I saw in this video Pompei Pizza still there, wow. Brings back so many memories. I attended the Church there and the school St Aloysius. My Mom taught CCD in the school. Thanks for the video memories.
Me too! When were you there?
@@lah8617 1969 we moved to the area.
@@lah8617 how about you?
@@lah8617 1969.
I love that you are documenting my city! West Side is super diverse!
It was fun to explore this part of Jersey
My late husband was from Duncan Prospect's!!!!! Love 440 ,Pumpkin Hill and most of all that Pizza in Journal Square !!!!!
I grew up on Union St. right up the block from the Dairy Queen. Went to PS 33 down the block from Dairy Queen and then to PS 24 and walked the stretch of Westside Ave. every day between Union St. and Vriginia Ave. I also taught at St. Al's high school and was married in St. Al's church. Went to Lincoln Park all the time. This was the heart of my neighborhood. West Side Ave. played a major role in the first part of my life. This was all around 60 years ago So, this was a blow my mind nostalgia trip for me. Many thanks, ActionKi

Lived in different areas of Jersey City.. Lived in this area as a kid. Walked it many times throughout much of my life. Haven't been there in years but enjoyed taking this virtual walk with you. Thanks for posting.
You're welcome. I'm sure it's changed a lot since you were last there.
@@ActionKid Somewhat. But, aside from some buildings gone and different stores, still recognizable. The area hasn't undergone the modern development that some, like downtown have. Not yet. But time and progress and change are all part of life. Thanks for posting. I used to walk all over Manhattan as well and have seen your videos. Keep walking. And posting videos. Thanks again.
I played soccer in Lincoln Park when I was sure kid. There was a bar on the corner of West Side and Montgomery call O'Hara it was named after the on a crypt directly across the street. The crypt is no longer visible and the bar is long gone. Sip Ave..althought you are still on west side you are now in the Marion section. Once was a very large Italian community. The feast of Mt Carmel was a big thing.. Actually just about very parish had feast. Mt Carmel and Holy Rosery being two of the largest. Looks like a funeral. Make the right on Broadway to make you was to Indian Village. I no longer live in JC, but JC will always be my home. Growing up in in such a diverse environment was amazing. Thanks for a walk down memory lane.
Nice looking neighborhood , stores , restaurants and even the murals on the walls looked awesome 🙂!! Alltogether very enjoyable walk in Jersey City/ New Jersey !! Thank you A K for sharing 👍!!!
Jersey City has a ton of murals throughout all of the neighborhoods!
Idk cuz RUclips neighborhood guy states the neighborhoods ak just walked r ghettoest areas of Nj ak is brave
I really enjoyed walking through the West Side of Jersey City, lots to see and explore!
@@kevinpak9603 AK is definitely brave. Check out his other videos! This area used to be rough. It’s not as bad anymore (you still have to be more careful at night though). Anything east of JFK blvd in the Grenville section is what you have to beware of if you’re from out of town (especially at night).
Thanks I drive and rarely walk but I remember the scene from Harold and kumar a guy gets jumped in Newark and yes Trenton and Camden have roughest areas as well but it’s all relative
Your the best! This was great! I am going to share it with everyone in the community. Remember, Come back to Lincoln Park in the Spring and Summer. Love ya ActionKid!
Action Kid: Come back to Lincoln Park in Spring or Summer. Go into the park you will see the beautiful fountain on, alot of statues, people. The Lake with ducks, Tennis courts and more. The lawn outside and inside are beautiful right now it is frozen. Plent Lots of events including Movies and Ethnic Culture Events and Holiday events.
Yes, I will have to give Lincoln Park another visit!
Yeah he definitely has to see Lincoln Park in da summer.
You in the City I reside in born & raise there liking The Videos Your Videos is dope💯🔥 bro keep up the good work my guy🤙😎
I grew up on West Side Ave, by Communipaw Ave Journal Square area as well. Loved in Greenville section as well. We lived in the back of a coffe shop, I called it Frankie’s candy store. Don’t know if that was the name or not in the 80’s to early 90’s. There was a bar nearby, they had a tree stump inside the bar I used to sit on as a chid, playing with my toys, while my dad gambled, smoke filled like a movie. Wish I knew the name of that bar, would be cool to see some pictures. I live down the shore now. Still miss JC. Love the video thank you. 🤝
The Bars name is
Park tavern I used to go there alot talking 30 years ago
Thank you for the walk. I worked at countess cleaners on west side And Roosevelt before that at Schimenti’s market on West side by Communipaw
Went to grade school at St Al’s. Hung out at Duncan and Montgomery ave by west side. When I was Young my life revolved around that street
Such a walk down memory lane! Went to St AL's High School in the 70's/80's. Next time get off the light rail and go in the other direction. The Miss America next to NJCU is a landmark classic diner! Check out the college too!
My old neighborhood. So much has changed. Unrecognizable where you got off the light rail. I wish I could go back in time.😪
If you think west side changed you'll definitely get lost in downtown
This video reminds me of my walks through my city and the surrounding when I was younger. I loved to discover new places and now I am happy that I can discover them thanks to you. 😊👍
Beautiful! 82 yrs ago I was born at Margaret Hague hospital in JC. The Catholics kept this city 🏙️ Great 👍. I miss this city because it was the best and I believe it still is. We all got along!
Westside was the section of Jersey City I grew up in! It has changed a lot in the past 40 years since I was there last. I grew up on Clarke Ave. which was the corner where the church is at the beginning of the video. So many memories of my childhood & early adulthood there in this area... spent many times stopping at that Dairy Queen at the corner of Westside & Union Street. Rode my bike all around this area back then also! Had great times there in the 1960s & 1970s! Lincoln Park was also one of my favorite places... I knew every inch of that park... thanks ACTIONKID for doing this video of home town section of Jersey City... sure would love to see more of this area!
Clarke had many good families on it!
@@seanmcaddle6121 Yes sir! That it did! I lived there from 1953 to 1981 & neighbors all looked out for each other then!
@@johnhermanns2431 I lived on Mallory and Yale across from the Yale
Thanks for showing the buildings. Sometimes it is hard to visualize what is towering up above as so amazing.
You're welcome!
Great video yet again, Kid. My old neighborhood. Thank you.
There's a big fountain if you walk a little in and a restaurant Casino In the Park. Had my wedding there 2001. Went to school St Althouse graduated 1988. Lived on Lexington Ave till 2002
Very nice! Yes, many of the homes by the park have a beautiful facade.
I lived in downtown Jersey City for many years and attended NJCU. Great town for the young and easily accessible to NYC.
Love that you passed Ege Ave to Virginia, that Was a Pharmacy on the corner was a pharmacy even when I was about 12 years old. Thank you. That was in 1950.
Action Kid! Yeah you walked it. This is my neighborhood I love the divesity, shops, restaurtants and my favorite park Lincoln. And it is very safe!
Safe?? It is anything but safe. I grew up in Jersey City when it was beautiful. We left in 1978 because so much of a bad element moved in and ruined it for us.
Journal Square Really Changed
Chill Town, my home. Haven't been there in many years. My humble beginnings.
Pretty cool i love jersey city for its art and some of its unique history
Thank you Kenneth. I enjoyed this relaxing tour. Area looked nice and very quite with many restaurants and mixed cultures.
Much appreciated!
@@ActionKid ❤
22:20 I like the architecture of that church! ⛪ 😍 It's always nice that you take your viewers to different places. 😃 Thank you for sharing this walk in Jersey Cit on a nice sunny day, AK!! 🤗
Used to be St. Aloysius Church .
22:17 Dong dong! I was thinking " another moment caught at right time ".
You have such a luck for important situations at the exact time when they happen. Maybe it wasn't a big deal, but it was a cool moment.
New Jersey looks more European than the majestic NY we are used to, but it's still very nice.
Was a sunny January day with birds singing. Good vibes!
I feel the residents are young, because at 2:30 in the afternoon, no one on the streets, must be working, I lived in the Heights for 15 years and went to Dickinson, which is the only exposure I had to West Side Avenue when I walkied home from The Hill up to Summit Avenue, then to Congress St. Very enjoyable walk, Thank you.
Grew up there in the 80’s and 90’s can’t believe Top Notch is still there . But used to walk it from Broadway to Ege Ave
And now as he gets closer to Journal Square there are more folks. And something I haven't seen since I left Jersey in 1982...fruit meat markets. Miss them the most.
Thank you AK for visiting NJ , it’s always good to see you here xoxo
You're welcome
Your camera does a great job with the contrast I think. I can see all the details in the shadows and nothings blown out (for the most part). Looks good.
i see myself in the video lol
Make the right and walk up Sip to Kennedy blvd. Theres an hotel with the lions and the structures are beautiful. Sip Avenue Diner. Journal Square is up that way too
AK on the west side of Jersey City . Nobody does what AK does unless they were born there .
I think this is a nice area in west Jersey City !! Thanks AK ! 😍🚶🏻♂️
Grew up on Boyd and Virginia in the 50’s and 60’s. The only thing I see that was there back then is the Dairy Queen and Lincoln Park.
Wow, just moved to 3 Acres - beautiful area! Crazy seeing this online!
The church you just see is Coptic Orthodox church on 427 W side Ave
I've lived off west side for two years now and really love it. It's the place to be! ❤
Hello ...can you please tell if Lexington Avenue is a safe place to stay with family please
Just joined in membership! Great to hear further part of your journey
Hi actionkid thank you for walk there I live on one of the blocks you walk bye one store you bye I what there when I was a kid I'm happy it still there and the ice 🍨 place my grandpa take me there every Friday it been there over 30 years and that store too thank you again great remembers I cry to be happy
Ege Ave was Known for Tough Girls '
Visiting some The Sopranos locations would be cool.
Another awesome video. Love waking up to a new tour. Hopefully a Livestream today 👌👍😃
Making me want to move across the water. Look how clean. No graffiti, No garbage all over...not even any gum stuck to the sidewalks. Cool looking town Chilltown. Our cuzzos on the other side have it good.
Come on. Don’t be naive. Everything is not what it seems. West side on the surface may seem alright. Especially the closer you get to JSQ. Hell, even then it’s not. But don’t let a beautiful park and “clean” streets fool you. There’s drug dealers and crackheads all over the place. Esp on West side.
Things ain't always what it seems, Greenville is up more and that's the hood hood lol
@@PeekaChew who the hell still do crack? TF LMFAO
@@antoinelevine2143 crackheads😐
Love Jersey City! Great place to visit and stay! Love your videos Actionkid!
Yeah seems pretty nice neighborhood with incredible architecture,stores and other spots to hang out !!!
Great video - grew up in Jersey City Heights - Western Slope section - my problem (not with your video which is great) but where are the people are going to go - as this section is probably going to be gentrified - I'm a real estate agent that cares about people that are being pushed out
amazing no lines at the Dairy Queen. parking lot there is filled to capacity with xmas trees for sale at holiday time
Grew up in Jersey City in the 50’s and 60’s on Boyd Avenue. Went to the Dairy Queen all the time. Always bought our Christmas tree there the day before Christmas.
Great video as always AK!
Nice and quiet neighborhood. That resto named "Carol's Cabalen" was probably be a Filipino restaurant.
Oh cool!
Wouldn’t call nice or quiet tbh
@@PalMmxyz why so? 🧐
The Mexican Restaurant at 25:03 used to be my Nana’s Deli called Muller’s Deli. It closed in the 80’s
Good Friday Morning AK
Thank You So Much For Sharing This Part Of The World With All Of Us
As Always Take Care With Love Ms British Gray From Tampa Florida Blessings
Nice walk. Still a long way to go to journal square. I went to St Al’s grammar and high school. The high school was closed about 20 or 15 years ago. When you first encountered Lincoln park that is the place I used to hang with my friends and ultimately met my first wife. Got married at St Al’s. You passed my home St Roosevelt Ave. the block before communipour. Thanks for the memories!
I love these out of the ordinary New York places from ActionKid, those are the places you wouldn't see normally.
Not sure if you noticed, but this is not New York, it's Jersey City, New Jersey.
@@Perivale Thanks, noted
Those homes across the park are beautiful. Walk up some of those streets like Bentley. Alot of rich people use to live there. Alot of doctors back then
I lived in 141 Bentley for my college years 99-06. Loved that house and the other houses on that street and on Kensington. I hear they called it Doctor's Row for obvious reasons.
There's a feast every summer there at the church down in Marion section past Sip Ave
Dairy Queen on Westside it’s been there for over four decades or more at one landmark of Westside Avenue
So awesome, thank you so much! Would be so blessed if You could do some time around Christ's Hospital & walk around block to 445 Baldwin Ave! My grandfather & grandmother moved there when she was young then lived there at the same apt till she was 92! My early years I lived with her also! When I was 18 I took the apt across from her which lol, my Auntie had lived in with my Uncle & cousin till about 1953, but also in 1972 I became a bride there! Such Blessed Memories! Yes, 3 generations lived there! Amazing!
Those Hair Solons Keep Changing Hands
Thank you for such a video 🙂
I was half expecting to see myself somewhere lol
You should walk central ave in JC heights from the other side of journal square to the beginning of union city
5:41 reminds me of those talking crosswalks in Oklahoma City
I lived on Grant & Westside next to Henry’s Wok…
AK - you have officially hit most of the places I have lived in - Washington Heights 174th St, NYC; Upper East Side 81st/2nd Av, NYC; Westwood UCLA, LA and now this - I used to live in Westside and Duncan Av JC (right after the park on your walk) - funny! 27:45 just when you turn
I appreciate what you do but It would be nice if you showed more than the sidewalk. More shots of the surroundings.
And from West side close to the place that you said pizza take care you doing good job be safe ok God bless you and your family AMEN 🙏😄
I did this walk in the fall! From JSQ to the LRT terminal. The stupid line was out of service, no announcements - people just standing around getting on and off the open rail cars. Had to walk all the way back to JSQ. Actually not that far, well under an hour. Dumpy neighborhood I could see myself living in I had to. Very similar to parts of Philadelphia.
Lincoln Park is Maintained by the County It's Fountain is Been Redone Several times
Another great job .
Welcome to the Hood!
St Peters Church, my parents were married there. And West Side Cemetary, my maternal grandfather is buried there. He died in 1936, from lung cancer. He was an immigrant from Naples, Italy and worked as a cooper in JDowntown Jersey City.
Cool
43:41 Beep! Beep! That guy was almost in your way.
Alot of Mafia use to live down past Sip. There was a restaurant or 2 there that are gone now I think. You'd see all the mob guys going in back in the 80s
Where is all there snow we still trying to melt snow with salt on walk ways in Upstate NY
The real getto 😋
You should do the beach in Barcelona.
My father lives in that area
I live on that street, I wish I knew AK was in my neighborhood! I also work at a store here and I have to say, I have seen many acts of violence at night. There was a man who was hacked with an axe just the other week at a Walgreens on this street. It's not the safest neighborhood to be honest, a police officer was killed about two years ago and there was a shooting on the same street about a year ago. There's a lot of people loitering in dark corners in the evening. There's a lot of drug abuse too. A few blocks down a few years ago a man walked into a Jewish store and opened fire killing I think 12 Jews( I'm not sure).It's honestly not the best of neighborhoods
You exaggerate the hell out it. I think it was 2 jews that got killed, and 1 Hispanic (Ecuadorian) guy that worked at the kosher store. Also that was in the Greenville neighborhood if I'm not mistaken. I think AK is in the West Bergen neighborhood, or around there. Aside from that, yes Greenville and West Bergen neighborhoods often times can be quite dangerous at night. They are the equivalent of East New York, and Canarsie neighborhoods in Brooklyn. They even look like those neighborhoods. Though West Bergen has some nice areas too.
@@alexibarona5807 you nailed it. A police officer was also killed during that incident at the kosher market before the shooters arrived at the market. 5 ppl were killed in total as well as others being injured by the gun fire, unfortunately. Jersey City has its days but a great place to check out. You just have to cautious of your surroundings just like anywhere else (especially at night).
@@alexibarona5807 it is still a horrible area. I grew up right there and intruders moved in and ruined everything.
@@kmrnnj1 Who where the intruders that moved in and ruined everything?...
@@alexibarona5807 are you going to play dumb and act like you don't know??!!
Hey Action kid can you do a video in Hoboken NJ starting from the PATH train stop i went to check out the bars and clubs there before i travel up that way
Nice neighborhood, but you forgot mention that in this area have a nice schools, specially a charter school called Empowerment Charter School
Well Take care Enjoy and Please be Safe ' I Have to go ' I Did Finally get My Apartment Downtown in Another High Rise '
Can you do a walk through of journal square in jersey city?
I spent the first 12 years in JC and i got mugged in LINCOLN park in 1974 and had my sneakers stolen right off my feet but it looks safer these days
For the Masjid Tawheed lovers who came here to see Masjid Tawheed, go to 38:39
We wanna see you walk on MLK next time!!!! The heart of jersey city 🙏🏼
That’s not the greatest idea lol. MLK drive (referred to as Jackson Ave, the old name, by JC residents), is still a dangerous place to walk in (especially at night).
👍🙋
u should do central ave in the hieghts my old stommping grounds
Best Upload New Jersey NYC City In Jan.2022* - Thanks For Sharing Bro, _ Action Kid* Channel, .... Cheerio.*****.
It's Not a Bad Area The City Had the DPW Down 440 Until Former Mayor Shundler Took Over But The Area Your in Had a Local Butcher Who Lived Downtown and I Knew So Many people who Had Businesses There " The Traffic light was Done by the Privazantation of Mayor Shundler You Should of Seen the Area Years ago Much Better Like All Areas of Jersey City The West Side is Changing I Think Slowly But for the Better- He Sells Christmas 🎄 Trees in the Winter The Dairy Queen
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸❤❤❤
I live here...that's a long walk...go to the hood. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣just go up the block...
you need to read or show the cross streets, nice though
