Used to hang out at the White Whale many, many, years ago. I see its still there at 8:40 on left. Downtown looks clean and nice. Like the trees that have been planted.
@@exploring-new-england I realized how rantoul st changed. So many new buildings there. You went from my ex house at 16 dane st until my job at beverly house of pizza. I took classes at salem state college at that time to learn English and then I came back to brazil. I just had I trip back to beverly! Thanks again!
Cabot Street looks amazingly the same north of Fosters corner but south of there i barely recognize it even though I walked to school that way ever day from 3rd - 6th grade (Central Street to Edwards School) from '66 - 69.
Very interesting getting the perspective from someone very familiar with Beverly from the past! Some things have def changed a lot in a lot of cities in the area. It is interesting how some pockets stay the same.
@@exploring-new-england - your bike path was perfect for my trip to the past. I didn't even recognize that you were on Rantoul St. But Federal St. I recognized as you got towards St. Mary's school (which I went to in the 8th grade). Everything was the same from about a block before but there was no commerce on that street in the 60's - 70's. It was all residential. Rantoul St. was a bunch of rundown tenement houses, hole in the wall bars, and abandoned factories on the RR side, along that stretch you rode down on. Thanks for doing that and posting it.
