Church & Market Streets |
The building in back of the soldier is the same one pictured in the old postcard below:
Note: While searching for pictures of Paterson on the web, I came across the photo of this old postcard. Notice on the end of the post card it was supposed to be delivered to 358 Pacific Street in Paterson. I lived at 356 Pacific Street until 1949 when I was four and then we moved across the street with my Grandfather and stayed there until I was 18 - How strange is that??? :o)
The way it looks now:

Paterson was a beautiful, wonderful, vibrant city. I even moved back to South Paterson when I married, but finally had to leave in '76. Such a shame, it was a great place to grow up in.
(I was down that way about 10 years ago and didn't even recognize the place anymore)
Interesting!
ReplyDeleteCouldn't believe that old postcard was on-line!
DeleteWow that is interesting about the postcard! Love the old pics!
ReplyDeleteIsn't that odd? I love "Then and Now" pictures - Might do one on my old neighborhood one day - Have to dig out the old pics from when I was little. So many changes!
