Thank you for that fine video. It is sad to see those famous Lou Costello landmarks in such bad shape. I live about 15 minutes drive from Paterson. It is sad to see the condition Paterson has become. I was told it was very beautiful once by people who grew up in Paterson. Too bad Lou passed away so young. Rest in Peace Lou.
I attended St. Anthony's School in Beech Street from nursery to 8th grade (Ervin Nieves, class of 1977), attended Don Bosco Technical High School (1977-1981) and I used to box in Lou Costello's boxing gym where Rocky Lockridge, Diego Rosario, Bobby Cyz, Curtis Harris, and others were training at the time. I met two old ladies who grew up with Costello -- his actually real name was "Lou Cristello", "Costello" was his stage surname -- in Paterson. They rented an apartment at 58 17th Avenue in Paterson, where my parents were the superintendents and I was raised from age 5 to 22. The ladies dressed in an impeccable 1940s style (like Louis Lane in Superman) and told me stories of Lou Cristello. Fun memories.
I remember the day he died. I was 2 1/2 years old. My grandmother was holding me in her arms at our apartment kitchen in Jersey City while my mother picked up the Jersey Journal and said, "oh my God, Lou Costello died today." I will never forget that day. As a kid, I used to asked my mother..... " did Lou Costello die of an artichoke?". I couldn't pronounce heart attack correctly. The best growing up and watching their movies and mimicking Lou as a kid. Still watch and own their movies and TV Show DVD'S. I salute you Lou. P. Visone.
I was born and raised in Paterson NJ. in 1952, I used to see wrestling matches at the Armory. If he were to walk the streets now he'd break down and cry.

Wow this is amazing im a resident of paterson New Jersey my whole life good to see a young man bringing this to the real true people of paterson New Jersey
Nice job providing a bit of history and preserving the memory of a great comedian. It's nice to see how important things are not just going to be lost in time, but also there's a melancholy too for better times gone by and life in Paterson clearly used to be more fun in those days. It's like my home town in the UK, everywhere I used to go is boarded up and there seems to be nothing to do except be a couch potato or escape to the nearest city. A lot of the UK is the same, just nothing at all going on anymore, no sense of community. That's what I admire about Americans, you have a sense of pride in your home town wherever that might be and a sense of belonging, but we tend to be the total opposite.
Nick, you did a damn good job! I've always wanted to see the hometown of Lou Costello!! and to know his childhood home still stands and to see the play house his father built for his sister is nothing short of awesome, thank you.

Lou Costello and his family were also faithful parishioners at St. Anthony's on Beech Street, Paterson. Indeed, he called together his Hollywood friends to hold a benefit to raise money for the building of the Salesian church and school. Fond memories of him and his family lived in my parents' and grandparents' memories.

Great job, 5 enjoyed it very much. I actually lived on E30th st. Not until years later I would find out that Lou's childhood home was only 2 blocks away. My mom told me she would always go see them at the Armory. Also as a kid I would ride my bicycle down 10th Avenue which turns into McClean Blvd 20. He had a beautiful home just before Kent Village. Again great job, and thanks for the memories.
What a wonderful video! Thank you so much for this great tribute to the late, great Lou Costello! And many thanks to Lou's daughter for this video as well. It's so encouraging to see a young person so interested in the history of his home state. Looking forward to seeing your other videos!

...I've got pictures of Paterson looking from almost the exact same spot (Garret Mountain in your intro) that I took ca. 1967 or '68 with my then new to me 35mm rangefinder camera...long before I 80 existed...
Nick The History Kid... For you did a very Good Superb job, tap your shoulder, very Interesting and Thank You for sharing your Amazing video on your Great channel.

I remember when a speech teacher portrayed by sidney fields in the movie mexican hayride asked lou costello what are the consonants. And lou replied "there is north america, South America, and Patterson New Jersey".
Nick, what a great job you did -- and wow, what a lot of work went into this project. This is the first video of yours that I've seen. Look forward to watching the others. Hope you will keep up the good work and pursue a career in film production.

Good job.... DElbarton School... The Green Wave. I got to meet him through my grandfather who was County Treasurer and Freeholder Paterson and lived in Hawthorne. I went to Delbarton 65 66 ----- I remember when all those buidings and stadiums were thriving. Fabian Theater was a jewel of Paterson...many movie theatres there....

I was born in Paterson in 1946. I can remember living on Getty Ave. until I was 5 years old. Then we moved to a small town in northern Passaic County named Midvale-Wanaque. I was raised in this small town. When I was young, I watched the Abbott and Costello Show on TV. Lou Costello always mentioned Paterson, NJ as his home town.
It's still home to many people who love Paterson 's past history as well as the city of today. Many who still have fond memories of Paterson as children have forgotten that even today we still love the all the places we once called "Home." True Patersonians will love our old city always, sometimes it's those of us whose heart have turn into a slum, and that no longer cherish her as a treasure only to abandon her time and time again. Paterson will always own a place in my heart.
Nick you do know that a large part of the cannon balls used in the American Revolution were made around Pompton Lakes NJ? And that more battles of the Revolution were fought in NJ than any place else? The list goes on. Thanks so much for your work on these videos. You do very nice work!

Great work young man. Glad to see some of our youth still have an appreciation for the good old days.
This made me cry. Great job nick

@@gillove189 yes and Thank you 😊 🙏
That's cool man.
Nick , Can you do a biographical of the 3 Stooges in Brooklyn ?
Very good video only thing missing is you left out the Lou Costello Boxing Club
Nick, Thanks for the wonderful information. Now a lot of these things are in bad condition. The pictures and videos are great.🗽
Hey there's Tony
That park was recently renovated for children with autism and children in the community
Damn I saw Saturday night fever at the Fabian . I wish I would of known I was so close to comedy royalty.
Costello had such a sad ending to his life!
c costello was born on madison street the house is no longer their also people in payterson we were all mineriotes
According to"The Abbott & Costello Book"by Jim Mullholland..Lou beat out basketball great Nat Holman in a foul shooting contest.
Paterson-once a thriving town, now a crime ridden slum--how sad!
