Keansburg, NJ Part 4 

I love Keansburg even the way it is now, from the first time we went there summer 1957, moving from the Rockaway Beaches of Queens. I love the Keansburg amusement park still, in Rockaway Beach we had an amusement park called Playland. Went to some fine Irish bars in Keansburg St. Patrick's Day. To the guy who called us Bennies, we were proud Queens people and Long Islanders, not Bennies, pal. We moved to the Jersey Bayshore area in Old Bridge because we lived it here.

That girl entering the store at :52, she'd fit in anywhere today. I find her fascinating. I wonder who she was.

This was just after the stock market crash.I find it odd that people would have any money for day tripping,buying cars,etc.This was supposedly the Great Depression.Most of those kids would be off to war in 10 years.

I knew Henny well. When I didn't have a dime he would give me a donat .If you notice he always had a towel over his left arm and hand . He showed me a wooden hand one time .i was only 7 but I remember how nice he was.

Calendar says September 1930

Look at all those Benny's.... ugh!!!

the music for this video is horrible and now keansburg looks like a unflushed toilet
