my God what fond memories i had. 70s as a small kid through the 80s.
This is the Seaside I remember, I’m probably somewhere here. Great footage, but sad seeing the Big Wheel getting taken down, really miss those days. Great job Henry.
Nice music choice. Thanks for uploading this little slice of my childhood.
Much better times. Miss those days
Thank you for uploading this. It's like revisiting my childhood.
Currently vacationing at Seaside Heights July 2021, great to see these old clips and sights of years gone by, especially the parts of the boardwalk that were destroyed by hurricane Sandy and the fire the following year. I miss the old section with the carousel! 🎠 Also so funny to see the cartons of cigarettes as wheel prizes. You’d never see that today! 😂 Thank you for sharing your home movies! 😍
The Himilaya...those people at the haunted house always were scary...union Jack's record stand..cool video
Nice Memories it was as if I was there that day!! Don’t you wish you smiled more that day and could have an hour of it again!! What we loose!!
I cried seeing my youth replayed
Same
This is a Seaside gem, and love the music, so heartwarming. Cried through most of it♡
The ZIPPER!!! 😵
Nice video. My compliments on putting this all together. A real piece of Seaside Heights Boardwalk History. 👍
Thank you - helps with the faulty memory bag.
Great video so many memories I grew up in that town in the '60s through the late 90s I played on that boardwalk I worked on that boardwalk and I visited that boardwalk. My aunt and uncle had three stands on the boardwalk I remember going to the skillo halls with my aunt on many a cold winter nights in the mid 60s it was so Smokey in there you couldn't even see each other 5 ft away sometimes nobody cared back then, everybody was having fun. I got out on high School in 76 by then me and my buddy we were already working the Swiss Bob I was running the shooting gallery there at the arcade and when I wasn't there I was hanging around and working my aunt and uncle stands I think the '70s were the best days for that boardwalk and I truly appreciate you sharing those moments your home videos with us thank you.
Spin the wheel for cigarettes and Hershey bars. Great video.
Thanks for posting this!
the haunted house clip there reminded me of the great adventure tragedy at its haunted house. I actually knew someone that knew 1 or 2 of the people that were in that.
What happened?
@@morrismazev The Haunted House burnt down.
Joe Verderosa no wonder you are in a leadership position in the Seaside Heights Historical Society!
I spent summers in Lavallette during the 1960s, just a short walk along the beach to Seaside Heights. Spent a lot of time walking the boards at Seaside, but rarely went on any of the rides, played any games, or went swimming (Lavallette had a better beach). It was all about meeting girls, eating food (best pizza in the world), and just taking in the unique sights, sounds and even the smells of Seaside Heights. Yes, the aroma of Italian sausages and onions sizzling on a griddle was intoxicating. Too bad your 8mm film was silent. I could almost hear the deafening sound of the arcade wheels as the pointers clicked over the nails around the edge. Hard to believe that most of those arcade games paid the winners with cartons of cigarettes. "Those were the days, my friend", and we hoped they would never end... but they did.
Hopefully there's a whole new generation of kids making their own memories on the boardwalk in Seaside Heights. Just like I did back in the day. Thanks for sharing this walk down memory lane, Henry. The 8mm format definitely added something to the nostalgic impact of this film.
It was Boardwalk pizza and not even the best in new jersey not even close. Sawmill had giant slices for $.50 with a coke. Budweiser if you were of age for a little more.Also not all the stands had cigarrettes only the few that were dedicated cigarrette stands.
I lived here in the 80s. I still live close by. A lot has changed lol.
I was 14 in 1975 and we had a bungalow in Midway beach. Anyone remember the ROTOR? THE RIDE where you get in this circular room that spins around and the floor drops out and because of the centrifical force of the spinning you stick to the walls. We used to get upside down in it spinning around stuck to the wall upside down.
I think they changed the name of it sometime later to the whirpool, I saw it in the video.
Thus ended Seaside Heights,N.J.
Great work, great video, great memories. thanks for posting. What happened to those great days?
Great Memories. What time of year was this taken -- people are wearing jackets.
Thar was all open in the off season?? When i was in School in the 1990's my Dad would take me to " walk the boards" as he would say and when it got cold it was just us and the older folks. Ioved the boardwalk in every season.
Tanfastic!
Never’s cheese steaks w/their own sauce …..I’d grab one on break from working at either Lucky Leo’s or Khors Frozen custard and orange aide
Things where good. Now it's all getto crap. Lol. Sry but true.
The 70s was the best year ever at Seaside Heights today in 2024 you can't even find one pinball machine on the boardwalk pretty pathetic!!!
True.
