May 1990 - Driving Over the Bridge from Toms River to Seaside Heights, And Along the Ocean 

Wow unreal. I'm from Toronto but my sister and I spent every summer between '85-93 in Toms River, NJ at my cousins house. We would go to the boardwalk all the time back then. This video is so nostalgic in every way, even the radio playing takes me back to those amazing songs we grew up listening to....

That Grand National in the beginning of the video👍🏼

Right in the heart of “Bruce Springsteen Country” - I’m sure the Boss himself probably drove along this road at some point. I love it!

I was 5 years old when this was made. I remember going here every year with my dad. This is how seaside still looks in my mind.

Thank you so much for this post. Oh, how many times I crossed that bridge in my life. And that sweet Wilson Philips harmony, I was half in love with Chynna. Jezzuz Christ the memories!!!

This video screams 80s/90s jersey shore. Absolutely love living here. WJRZ is such a solid soundtrack in this video haha

The songs, the happy baby in the back, old cars and happiness. What a great video! Thank you so much!

WJRZ The Shore's best rock! Great neon wipers, they add 50hp! lol Thanks for the blast from the past. It's a shame Seaside's become such a wreck since then.

Yes! The old Log Flume ride!!! Now that brings back some memories!

Wow, that was excellent! 90’ was probably about the time I last saw Seaside. 79-85 we went every year for two weeks. One of the greatest places ever. Then moved to Florida and they have nothing like it.

OMG what a blast from the past!!!!!! love the soundtrack of that JRZ music, lol, Im from toms River , and Ty for that!!!

Thank you for this, after Sandy all this was gone. This means a lot to so many people. I'm from tr, thank you

That's so awesome how many F-body cars (Camaros and Firebirds) I seen in this video lol. I can't believe there were so many around back then in Seaside! And around 05:42 we can see the Surfside motel! I just stayed there this past weekend from 8/6/16 to 8/8!!! I wanna go back to Seaside I love it there!!!

This is super interesting to me! I was born in the 2000s and grew up in Central NJ so it's interesting to see what it was like prior to me being born. So cool!

Thank you for the memories, i lived in island heights, right next to Tom's river in 90, goid times man

Fox Body 5 Liter Mustangs Ruled the streets back then … And they still do today!

omg such memories....Joey Harrison's Surf Club...Baby-O's....Changes......sigh....I wish I could go back....

Goosebumps

Must of been nice having the bridge fully open

Surfside motel looked exactly the same in 2011

I especially love the commercials, I grew up in Monmouth & Ocean counties but wasn't even born yet in 1990. I know all those places they talk about on the radio.

This is so cool! I was 8yrs old when this vid was shot, didn't go to Seaside until a few years after this vid but I still remember that drive in, it's ingrained into my brain, the smell of that salt water lol. It was also very cool seeing all the cars. I'm a huge Fox body fan and seeing them only a couple years old just cruising around was so cool. Also pretty cool (I guess haha!) seeing all the F-Body cars, seems to be more Firebirds then Camaros which I like those F-Body firebirds better anyway.

3:27 looks like my mom's camaro. This is how I remember seaside. Thank you. Also all the GM B body wagons.

Jersey Shore 😎

This is a Vibe

Omg Water Works!!!! My first ever water park ! Crazy flash backs watching this video! Thanks for the memories!

this is great I work on the beach and i drive there the same way i take the same exit too

Wow this video brought back amazing memories of my younger life growing up. My dad took me here when I was little, first we stopped at Great Adventure and I took 1 look at scream machine and was like NOPE so he kept driving and we wound up at water works and casino pier. I'll never forget that log flume also, it was the best one of my childhood and the corkscrew waterslide. It's so amazing that there's footage like this to bring back some great memories, THANKS

I've lived around here my whole life and have been to the seaside boardwalk many many times. And this takes me back. Those were very special, unique times. I was there a few weeks ago and a lot of it is exactly the same. The biggest difference is the southern end where the sawmill fire was, that's totally different and much more commercialized rather than the old seedy Scooby-doo boardwalk maze with sketchy rides. They also had a huge indoor section with a large merry-go-round. It's much more sterile now

Funny, now WJRZ has been playing those same songs as an oldies station. Only the rebuilt Casino Pier left after the '13 fire. Got a pool now. Clubs on the blvd. gone. Too bad. Good times!

Mullet growing inspiration!

I'm from North Jersey and we used to go to Seaside Heights most summers. It was a good time to be alive. I forgot how dumpy and cheezy it actually was, but it didn't matter to a teenager who was on the prowl.

Cool video brings back memories

This was great! Took me back home , thank you.

terrific video. wow. great time capsule. I would spend a week there each year during those years. I still go each year but stay in Toms River. Hope they can rebuild it.

Man the good old days I was not born yet but my dad told me all about it but I remember super storm Sandy took a lot away

Amazing, thank you for sharing. I was in Seaside at the very time this video was shot, though I was a kid at the time. The SECOND this video started, with Sinnade on the radio, immediately brought me back to having that same experience.

I was getting dizzy watching the first few minutes of this! Still very cool - it's recognizably the same.

Wow all those mustang gts. I had one as well in 1990. Know wonder they called them " me too " cars..

I could only imagine the epidemic of t tops getting stolen from F body cars (camaro firebird) back then.

OMG...I use to have those same wiperblades with the 3 fins also but in black...lol. Great video of Seaide😁

Parking a half a block from the ocean for $4! Can't beat that.

very cool thanks

great music

Im impressed with your steady hand.Have you ever considered becoming a professional cameraman?

Omg nostalgia even though I wasn’t even born then

nothing says 90's like the pep boys twin blade wipers with the clip on louvers

$4 parking is now $30+ lol!

good times. not the same after the fire. not even close.

Thanks

late 80s early 90s the Mustang GT reigned supreme

6:52 really cool music! :D

Ill be there at the end of june. I stay in Lavalete

i would have been a high school sophmore at Toms River East during this video

Love you❤❤❤❤❤❤

Omg, I think every 5 cars had those terrible windshield wipers, haha

Too bad cameras didn't have OIS back then. Awesome footage though

Sadly almost every single vehicle in this video ended up in Cash for Clunkers 😢

That section near Sawmill would be destroyed by fire decades later....

Pay phones

Water works with those slides that scraped your elbows!

$4 parking?? What's it now, like $40?

I was going to be born that July

What was it like in the year 1990 ? And what is it like now.

32 years ago. Most viewers weren’t even born yet lol.

Did you film this while jumping on a trampoline? I'm so shaken up, I need medicine LOL

Im Sorry U had a Medical condition where u couldnt keep the camera more steady.. otherwise cool video

Robert Palmer, , I didn't mean to turn you on, ,nice!!!!
