I was born in Jersey City and grew up in North Bergen.
We are about the same age; ironic our paths never crossed. I was heavily into Challengers all through the 70's and 80's.

they had buses then? lmao! I was born in '69I went to Jersey City State (better known as "Harvard on the Hudson")
Had to take two boulevard buses to school my freshman year; did not own a car yet! I'm old though, started freshman year as a 17 year old in 1970!

Have you seen pics of St Peters College? (Now a University) campus has been enlarged with new buildings. Looks great.

I worked in a law firm on Summit Ave during college and they were buying up all the brownstones on montgomery down by the pier for like 80k...i was there before Newport Center mall and the high rises were built...back when the Colgate clock was still there.I know, Journal Square was a seedy place in the 70's. I had to register for the draft at the draft board office in Journal Sq when I turned 18. Vietnam was going hot and heavy.
I bought my first house downtown, a brownstone for 69K in 1979 and had to do an extensive restoration. Can't buy them for that price now downtown. All New Yorkers came in and started buying up the brownstones.
I was using my A66 Vert for regular transportation at the time.
