I've lived here just about all my life, and when I watched this, it made me wish I could go back to that year! My how things have changed! I want to go back!!! Great upload!
Thank you so much for sharing that. I just happened upon a link to this via FB. Thanks so much for sharing. Amazing that you have this much video from '85! I was 10 - grew up there and it's so cool to remember all of those things. Thank you!!
I just want to give you a huge thank you for this video. My golly. So many memories in that video. It all still looks like that in my head. Thanks again!
That was awesome, like how the mall and White Castle was still being built. Im commenting on his cause it has been going around Facebook today. Thanx for the flash back
It's kind of funny to see the drive down Church Street past the YMCA, Dairy Isle and NOT see the overpass. I moved to Newark in 1988 so the eveloution of these two towns is pretty amazing. Was hoping you were driving down to where 21st ST. ended. But very cool trip down memory lane.
Thank you so much whoever posted this!! This was taped the year I was born, and I had lived in Heath the first 28 years that followed.....miss my hometown, for sure......love my Heath :-)
Past Mound Builders, over the tracks, down 21st St, just a block from where I grew up. Lived downtown Columbus from'76 to '85. Moved to NY when you filmed this, always came back a few times each year!
It is pretty cool seeing this. I am only 22 so this is quiet a bit before my time and I have only lived in Heath since 2004ish. I Live only a few blocks away from the mall it is very interesting to see the difference. The signs down 79 are a hell of a lot cooler then than they are now. Plus it must have been nice to hear awesome music every time you turned the radio on.
Thanks for posting! Great replay quality, I've watched this several times over the past year. My grandparents lived across from the airport runway on Heath Road for about 20 years. I loved visiting Mound Builder's Park in the early 90's.
OMG This is so wild. My family left Newark in 86 when I was 16. They were just building the mall. I saw Star Wars for the first time at Cinema 4. At the end they showed Wilson Jr High (what it was called then) Went there 3 years. Brings back so many memories. Thanks for posting!
I have lived in Newark all my life & it was really cool to see your video!! I would be awesome if you did one of the same path today to show the difference. It brought back a lot of memories & the music made you feel like you was back in the 80's. Thank you so much for posting
I'M NOT FROM HERE ... BUT IT WOULD BE SUPER TO SEE SOME ONE THAT KNOW'S THE ROUGH PATH WAYS THIS VIDEO'ER TOOK BACK THEN ROUGHLY & RE-CREATE IT ALL IN TODAYS SLOWER MOVING & VIDEOING IT ALL WHILE DRIVING..... FROM BOTH SIDES OF THE RDS,.......
This is so cool!! Look at all those old cars, wow. I recognize a lot of this and remember some of the old things. Sad that I don't remember exactly when a lot of them went away, though.
Man views of the street aren’t interesting! It’s the buildings on each side of the street! What a lost opportunity. When I saw you pan the sides of the street I loved it, I thought it was great to see the businesses and houses that were there and aren’t now. Pretty good job I guess, Thanks!
I would have been in 11th grade when this video happened, i remember the majority of this video. My grandmother used to live right over the train tracks
Lived there till i was 13 on Wilson st. the house we lived in was an old grocery store at one time. it was torn down some time ago..our dad died in 79 and we moved to Moundsville Wv. for about 10 years. I met my wife in Shadyside Ohio and have lived here for 30 plus years, but i get back up there once in a while as i have relatives that still live there....
I moved here in 2015 and I think the difference is staggering. Thanks so much for posting this. Always wanted a glimpse of this area where I would eventually live.
Wow those were the good day. You had space to drive not people on top of people. Duffs and suns and old holiday in. Good times thank you for flash back
God half the building being built are no longer here and thus makes me feel tragically sad. This video is like a portal to the past I barely missed out on.
Wow, this is nuts. I'm curious to see downtown Newark. I'm sure ts all pretty much the same. Oh, BTW, I opened a recording studio on Hudson Ave. if anyone needs a recording! Great upload!
wow ive lived here all my life i'm 20 now and i didnt recognize this place at all until i saw the mall being built. but i still wasnt convinced and then i saw white castle and then i knew it was heath.
holeee shit, Indian Mound Mall wasnt even built yet, but i did notice that when they were passing the Dairy Bar across from the Y, that they were also mid construction of the express way... at the time this was taken, i still lived on N Pine St, and watched the whole construction!
Well that is actually pretty cool but the Park Lanes bowling center used to be on State route 79 which I never knew that now the Park Lanes bowling center is on Hopewell drive past where the Shawnee Branch /buckeye Central scenic railroad used to be
I forgot about Glicks in front of the bowling ally. And always forgot the name of Lawson's and the Citgo on 30th. Spent a lot of time and paper route money in Lawson's! Hecks and the old Cinama 4 - and Trains and things right next to it. Rax on the corner (where tim Horton's is now). Didn't remember Odd Lotts on 79 there either. And When did Arrow become Value City? I thought it was later than that? Guess not.
WOOO WONDERING WHAT THE AREA'S WERE LIKE BACK IN THE 60'S & 50;S & 40'S & 30'S & 20'S HERE OR THERE OR WHERE EVER..........IF U HAVE VIDEO PLZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ UP-LOAD IT HERE......!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
awesome dude. me and my buddy ryan do a lot of amateur recordings. it's pretty clean and sounds somewhat legit but nowhere near the best. i'd think it would be cool to see you're set up. i like mixing music and stuff.
I agree, although, at that time I was looking forward to having a mall. Everyone said that your grandfather wanted the farm to remain intact and stay in the family. I'm not sure if that was just a rumor, maybe you have the answer.
uh in 85 it really was 70 cents was a buck 20 in 79 but prices went down when Reagan was President.Late 80's it was still hoverin around a dollar.I snuck into that Cinema 4 16 times to see Star Wars posing as an under 12 yr old to get in for $1.25
this was a trip down memory lane for me..I first moved to licking county in may '85. wasn't so much a shithole then...but now, an atomic bomb couldn't fix it
Gas prices 1.68 and 1.70 - they didn't have 1s. I had quit racing and in my second year at Wright State. My mother worked at Glick's, my cousin at Sun TV, a friend of mine worked at both drive-ins and his mom bowled at Park lanes. A guy I raced with, his uncle owned the farm lwhere the mall was built - his last name " McDonald." Too bad the footage was stopped on 21st St. [ 4:47 ] because my grandparents always sat out on their porch - the exact year and time. I would've seen my grandparents.
yea i would be sweet to see good video's from up & down the main rds., all over heath & newark & pataskala & etna & even zanesville & hanover area's too.... u know then & now ....................
Thank you so much for recording this and then not losing it. What a time warp. I miss that time, dearly.
Man... this really takes me back. Would love to find more videos of Newark/Heath in the 80s and early 90s!
I've lived here just about all my life, and when I watched this, it made me wish I could go back to that year! My how things have changed! I want to go back!!!
Great upload!
I grew up in Newark. I have not seen these images for over 35 years.
Thank you so much for sharing that. I just happened upon a link to this via FB. Thanks so much for sharing. Amazing that you have this much video from '85! I was 10 - grew up there and it's so cool to remember all of those things. Thank you!!
graduated in Heath in 80, thanks for the memories.
I'm glad you liked it!

I saw Howard Johnson's....lol. This was back before/when my ex and myself moved to Newark. It used to be a nice motel back in the day.
Brings back childhood memories-I haven't been there in years...made me cry when I saw the 'Big Bear' and Mound Builder's Park. Thank you for sharing.
This is really cool Ryan. Takes me back to high school days. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much whoever posted this!! This was taped the year I was born, and I had lived in Heath the first 28 years that followed.....miss my hometown, for sure......love my Heath :-)
THIS WAS WROTE 4 YRS,. AGO.... THAT MEAN'S THIS HAS BEEN OUT AT LEAST THAT LONG OR MORE & WE'RE JUST NOW SEEING THIS HERE..............
Past Mound Builders, over the tracks, down 21st St, just a block from where I grew up. Lived downtown Columbus from'76 to '85. Moved to NY when you filmed this, always came back a few times each year!
This was a great video. It is amazing to see the changes over 40+ years. And to see the old park lanes again. Before it was changed to Lowe's.
WOOOO LOWES USE TO BE A BOWLING ALLEY WOW WEE VERY INTERRESTING TO KNOW......
Wow! It's amazing how much it's changed. I was 5yrs old at the time, but I still remember all this.
It is pretty cool seeing this. I am only 22 so this is quiet a bit before my time and I have only lived in Heath since 2004ish. I Live only a few blocks away from the mall it is very interesting to see the difference. The signs down 79 are a hell of a lot cooler then than they are now.

Very neat to see Newark like that. Thanks for the video..

Building the mall, I remember the opening. Heath and Lancaster mall.
68 cent gas and WIDE open spaces. Just like I remember.
This was awesome.
It's sad to see what Newark has become nowadays.
the problem is not what newark has become it is what society has become, tired of trying to explain this to people.
budmeister Things have been turning around for the better. It's been exciting to watch the growth!
Was there 1972-76. Middle class was booming.
@@dingobronco2831 I live in Perry County down in Crooksville and I'm in Newark about every other day, I see the same issues everywhere.
@@erikskidmore8355
That's the truth
Reason why I avoid Columbus now
No where safe anymore
OMG This is so wild. My family left Newark in 86 when I was 16. They were just building the mall. I saw Star Wars for the first time at Cinema 4. At the end they showed Wilson Jr High (what it was called then) Went there 3 years. Brings back so many memories. Thanks for posting!
WHERE WAS THIS WILSON JR,. HIGH @..... WHAT STREET & WHAT CITY...??
@@jamieround2072 It is called Wilson Middle School in Newark. It is shown at 6:30
Is there anything else like this, this footage of my home is gold.
Pretty cool I've been gone about 30 years so this is basically how I remember it. Good '85 music, too.
I have lived in Newark all my life & it was really cool to see your video!! I would be awesome if you did one of the same path today to show the difference. It brought back a lot of memories & the music made you feel like you was back in the 80's. Thank you so much for posting

@@jamieround2072 Good Idea!! I might try that!
Talk about a blast from the past! That's when they were first building the Indian Mound Mall!
This is so cool!! Look at all those old cars, wow. I recognize a lot of this and remember some of the old things. Sad that I don't remember exactly when a lot of them went away, though.
Love this...Graduated in 85 from LV and left that summer to join the military and haven't been back since

Nice video I grew up in Newark I was born in 64, so I know alot of these areas , and the gas prices WOW.
This Takes Me Back To The Old Days
Half of the stuff Heath has now wasn't even there. That's amazing.
Simpler times back then
crazy seeing what my hometown looked like when my parents were in high school. :] haha.
Thanks, I haven't seen that part of the country for years.
Going down church street like where's the highw- Ohhhhh..
If you have been in Heath lately, one of the biggest differences is the amount of traffic! I took this video mid-day and almost no traffic!
I moved here in 2015 and I think the difference is staggering. Thanks so much for posting this. Always wanted a glimpse of this area where I would eventually live.
This was so cool..can't wait to share
thanks for posting. good times
Wow those were the good day. You had space to drive not people on top of people. Duffs and suns and old holiday in. Good times thank you for flash back

This is awesome to see!
Brings back memories!
Man do i miss the old days
Weird looking back on things when we were younger.
wow ive lived in nerk since 91! Its changed so much since then lol
this place and its people have changed u, and i already hated it all, but thats why ill never come back. im in your soawning grounds. poetic right?
do you have a full video of this or additional videos of the Newark Heath area? If so, post them! Really cool video!
I would love to see a digitized version of this!
Wow, this is nuts. I'm curious to see downtown Newark. I'm sure ts all pretty much the same. Oh, BTW, I opened a recording studio on Hudson Ave. if anyone needs a recording! Great upload!
Bring back the $.68 gas prices please!
wow ive lived here all my life i'm 20 now and i didnt recognize this place at all until i saw the mall being built. but i still wasnt convinced and then i saw white castle and then i knew it was heath.
I miss Heath
holeee shit, Indian Mound Mall wasnt even built yet, but i did notice that when they were passing the Dairy Bar across from the Y, that they were also mid construction of the express way... at the time this was taken, i still lived on N Pine St, and watched the whole construction!
do you have anymore of this old footage??? I'd love to convert it to digital for nothing
I was looking to see if I saw anyones car i remember. Lol..that would be cool to find something like that
Well that is actually pretty cool but the Park Lanes bowling center used to be on State route 79 which I never knew that now the Park Lanes bowling center is on Hopewell drive past where the Shawnee Branch /buckeye Central scenic railroad used to be
Cool video
awesome
you should do a new video of what it looks like today and have them run side by side
I forgot about Glicks in front of the bowling ally. And always forgot the name of Lawson's and the Citgo on 30th. Spent a lot of time and paper route money in Lawson's! Hecks and the old Cinama 4 - and Trains and things right next to it. Rax on the corner (where tim Horton's is now). Didn't remember Odd Lotts on 79 there either. And When did Arrow become Value City? I thought it was later than that? Guess not.
My dear old "Nerk, Uh-hi-uh".
Been gon since 66. The only thing I recognized was crossing the RR on 30th St. LOL

White castle, the only one close to me growing up in Bremen. Lmao
Indian Mound Mall under construction!
This is cool you should upload this to archive.org

Gas was NOT $1.86 to $1.70, it was 68 cents per gallon!

HAHAHA the original Taco Bell home of The Bell Beefer!! And Rax!!! The bomb!!
I still go to Rax in Lancaster!

To much of Heath and not enough Newark.... Just saying.
Maybe I should go back to 85 and redo it....
abbab 1053 That would be a good thing...LoL
The mall opened it's doors Oct 1986
It sure did! Seems longer doesn't it!
