I live in new castle and your other video song is the perfect theme song of this town the only time new castle is on the news is people trying to blow there selves up and there houses and kids shooting there parents with shotgun
@charlietango33 LOL I had to laugh at that one. I haven't lived there since i was a kid but my mother still lives there, she moved back about 9 years ago. It's funny cause, I only have good memories of New Castle. I'm thinking of moving back there when my son gets out of high school so i can be around my mother. I live in Florida now and its so damn hot here. I cant take the heat. All that snow looks like it would be a relief its sweltering here.
I only wish I took more photos that I shared with Jaws. I used a 35MM Camera as there were no digitals back then in the early 80's. I'm happy I shared just a few with Jaws as he did a great job. As a grad from Ne-Ca-Hi in 1962 it almost hurts to see the town I loved disappear as it has. None the less, it is still my hometown but my childhood days on Arlington seem so long ago...
Wow...anyone remember when the carousel at Cascade wasn't just a pavilion? As much as the place is straight depressing, I tend to for get that there is a beauty to NC, one filled with pathos. Augustines & Coney Island need to chain out...I wish I could get them where I am now
redrockdude this is my home town and u can shut up i never wanna move ever i am proud to be a hurricane not a wildcat(shenago) lancer (neshanock) spartan (lurel) or scottie(union). My school is awsome and i luv my city more then anything so u can shut up cuz this is the best city
the best part of NC is having memories of it...this place is str8 garbage. when i have returned, once to live for a year as to help aging relatives, and frequent visits it seems people are like almost stuck up about being from there, as if anyone outside of the immediate area knows that it exists...Leif Painter and the Cane Lady are great, but this place is so depressing and trashy...funny thing though, thos song was popular when I left NC as a kid-early 80's, this is a little nostalgic, good 1!
My Mother grew up at 18 Worthington Ave. in the 1950's. My Grandfather John R. Barella operated Barella Construction Co. from the 50's to the 80's when he sold it to Sharon Paving Co. in Mercer County. He built a house in W. Fairfield Ave. in the 60's and one on Sunset Dr. in the 70's.

Going back there tomorrow for the first time in 2 years. Since, I've heard that the cane lady died. I used to see her performing her "routines" a while before the video of her was posted here. But I'm going to have to get a slice of that good Mr. Pizza pizza.
naw it would still b a great town if there waz something to do here PIGS n WANNA b pigs fucking ruin everything, other then that this place is the shyt
I am from new castle and happy to say i am my home town i love new castle i see alot of bueaty there so people who say its the worst place fuck them this town is bueatiful and i will always love new castle
I aint gonna lie, I hate it here as much as the next "freak" But this is OUR twon we can hate it, You, You dont know what its like to be here, I cant imagine living anywhere else, I may hate it here, but I cant leave. SO Fuck you Hate'n Bitches.
ok new castle is my hometown and i will always represent.. yall can just stop hatin if u dont like it then dont fuckin go there... and yeah we are g's... dont step on our toes bitch
The absolute WORST place in the world. I am ashamed to say that my mom's family is from this cesspool...when business owners screwed the people of New Castle by moving almost all of the steel mills and Universal Rundle, they ensured that this already pathetic town would die. The arsons that have blazed since the 60's reflect the towns hopelessness, landlords can't rent so they burn houses for insurance money. Fake wannabe "gangstas" stalk the streets emulating movies & videos...continued...
Then 1800 get the fuck out and quit shit talking my home. Blame the city, blame the county, blame section 8, blame welfare, blame food stamps. How bout this: blame your damn selves! The residents ARE the city. Quit waiting for someone to do it for you, get to work, and reclaim our city! Don't accept govt. assitance, take care of yourselves for a change, I do.
Hey, you forgot the best part of New Castle ... the broken down houses and empty businesses. Also, I'm shocked that there are no pictures of the welfare office. You know how dependent the residents are of Welfare and foodie stamps. Way to go drug community ... where are the pharmacies ???
Hey you missed the best part of New Castle: You can't forget the empty business stores and burnt down houses. Also, I'm shocked ! No pictures of the welfare office. C'mon, you know how dependent the community is on welfare and food stamps. Can't live without it.
Want truth in destruction of New Castle, look at the south side, that's where I grew up at starting 1985 to 1993, looks like a third world country. Why? Section 8 housing & welfare, plus lots of drugs. Anyone who says N.C. is a nice place, you're blind, unless you have been conditioned to find the condition of the town acceptable. Maybe you won't say anything because you wanna be politically correct. Well political correctness & your blindness is destoying our town.
Ah, New Castle, where to start. First, taxes are too high, (funding union pensions) as a result, no jobs. Nice neighborhoods ruined because of sect. 8 housing, schools suck, (and always have) drug culture has exploded, (because people watch mtv too much, and won't think for themselves) what government hasn't destroyed, the welfare state has.
good job jaws, i liked it. u new castlans need to quit hatin on the place too. yea the place went from good to bad to worst but i feel like the city's makin a change for the better and its gonna take time. dnt forget what kind of state the COUNTRY is in, not just nc.
i'd like to know what planet you are living on ? new castle went down hill way before the country became in this shape. its the people that run the town. they want you to be on welfare and not be able to make a change. only so that they can stay in power. do you get out much ?
I happen to love New Castle. I was born and raised there. I got married and moved to Boardman, OH back in 1984, but New Castle will always be "home" to me. It is really sad to see so many bad comments about New Castle. Sure, it is different now than it used to be years ago, but that can be said about ANY PLACE. Nothing in life stays the same, everything changes. My family still lives there, so I go there often. I will always hold New Castle dear to my heart.
every macri's you see in new castle someone in my family lives there macri's sports my cousin philip works there but it is sad what happend to him though
Great video! My family is from New Castle. I went there July 2008, I'm going back again this summer. I would love for my children and grandchildren to see New Castle. :)
omg you people are mad all of you this place is a shit hole i live here i should know. this place is full of a bunch of drugs daygo's and bad choice of song bro. just because i listen to this stupid song i hate this town a little more!! thanx =)
I've lived in L.A. for the past 20 years trying to make it as an actor, but I cant wait to move back to good ol' New Castle......the schools are top-notch, the jobs are plentiful, and the people are friendly and optimistic......I'm coming home to you, Ne-Ca-PA!
We picked the amishes field corn and sold sweet corn for a dollar a dozen door to door, we were enterprising. Capitolism working. I may never get to see my hometown again but through these pics. We were poor but very happy. I would love to see the pics of the old Pierces Cafe. Coffee Hanna's old shop, the black whale, Murphy's 5 and 10, Mike and Sophie Iabella's restaurant,Washington elementary, Isalys and the old houses up on Croton Ave
Thank you for a step back into my past. I am 54 now but still remember my fondest memories of my hometown. To see the old Airpot Inn look like that is so sad, still wonder about Auggie Bidenoto. sniff still crying
Moved from New Castle to CA-1985. Came back to visit 21 years later-While I love CA-there will always be GREAT memories from NC!Things every child should have been grow up with-being able to ride the bus&spend the day downtown with friends,swim&ride the rides@Cascade, view the magestic McConnell's Mill.Watch a Christmas parade on Wash. Ave-freezing your butt off!AND the food! May's Donuts(none better), Coney Island & Po Lunch hotdogs, pizzelles,pierogis,Pauls Pop,NewModel Bakery,PoorMan's Pizza!
hotmom5358, I too grew up in NC and moved to CA in 1982.Sac area. where did you move to, if you don't mind me asking. i get back every yr or so since rest of family lives back there. even thinking of going back when i retire.
I know NC isn't what it used to be but you people make it sound like the ghetto. Yes there are bad parts of town but there always has been. It's not as bad as people say.
I was born and raised in NC. Born on the south side. Lived mostly on North Hill. Moved away in 1999. Have a farm in West Middlesex. NC was great however, during the 90's, it started going downhill. No jobs, too many "paisons" in county and school board. Too much old money still there. Only thing left there is old farts and crack heads and the old italian families where nepotism has run and still runs rampant.
Its a shame that the city pride has taken a dump.

Very sad. Regardless of who or what is to blame for this once great city's decline it is a shame to see this. Springsteen may have written this song about a town in Jersey, but I always thought it described New Castle perfectly. We lived on the North Hill and I graduated from Ne-Ca-Hi in 1981 (my class doesn't even bother with reunions). My whole family had no choice but to leave as the place got worse and worse. Hard to miss what isn't there anymore.
people get it straight its not new castle..its "ye olde castle" best way to put it =D and i live on the north hill of new castle....its pretty bad there which i why the houses ar e so underpriced.
i was just in newcastle or near i went camping in Bear run campground really nice place i LOVE it and i got home today and on my home i stopped in living treasures animal park near newcastle and i live in kennedy twp so like 35 mile drive
i've lived/traveled all over this great country of ours and believe me-there is no other place in the nation like new castle, pa!!!! always 10-15 years behind in technology, culture, fashion, hairstyles, etc. always a grey cloud in the sky especially in the wintertime, the greyness just saturates everything, like a cancer. no jobs. no future.
walmart destroyed the last bastion of small retail business there. a damn depressing microcosm of despair.......
Politicians, unions, the EPA, have ruined MY town. they have no shame,business as usual until everyone moves & there's no more tax money. The biggest problem now? Section 8 housing & the projects. Section 8 housing ruins small towns. Just look at the soth side, that's where I grew up, on Reynolds St. It looks like a thrird world country now, thanks trash
New Castle has some nice looking homes (northside) but if you check the prices of those nice homes they are way underpriced. Reason, because its a shit hole town. I lived in a rural area most of my life and plan on finding my own spread out in the country. My neighbors leave trash out on there side porch and it slumps over and they just leave it for weeks and keep piling it up. Dirty diapers broken bottles ect. Then the other neighbors undisciplined dogs rip it up. I get depressed here.
i dont exactly live right in newcastle i live like 10min. away from town. i go to Union Middle/Senior High School. most of newcastle is a bunch of rundown stores. it used to have ALOT of malls and places to eat....u know it was actually a city at one point. idk wat happened to it though....i wonder
Politics in this city do suck. New Castle doesnt offer it's people anything. Walmart is the biggest thing in town. My stepbrothers car got stolen. I went to Walmart to find it...and found it. Thats the only place where people go. As soon as I pulled in the lane and just got there, the guy who stole the car pulled in a parking lot as I was looking in my rear view mirror. He took off running and disappeared.
they need to drap a bomb on this shit hole and start all over again. all we have is a walmart and 50 dollar stors. i lost my job a elliot brothers and cant find shit. fuck new castle and all the crooks that run it.
1.I live in New Castle...hell im posting this from newcaqstle.But you didnt have bills...thatplace is awesome.
2.And You Should Have Put SVS saint vitus school...thats where i go to school but its right near the bingo place literly its 20 seconds away near the church...
Well this comment is a breath of fresh air! I went to SVS when I was a kid - and my parents actually taught there too, btw lol - but I moved out of NC last fall to go to Youngstown State University. I love YSU, but I gotta say, I'm home every weekend I get the chance.
hey its svsrenthead2 i got a new account...but whats your name sned me a message and tell me...oh btw mrs.harveys still teaching there and if you had ms.betts i hate her she still teach. and you might of went to school with richard devencentis his dad is my home room teacher....but what i finds funny is mrs.fabian is still there!
I was born in New Castle moved away 22 years ago but still have family there. I do realize theres not much going on there now. But I do miss the place...
New Castle is the best place on Earth to call home! It's a great place to raise kids, build a nice house, and get a great education. It is very low on crime and corruption. There are a ton of jobs for all skill levels. Lots of places to socialize and enjoy a night on the town. I have very fond memories of growing up here. If you are tired of the urban misery, move to New Castle and enjoy a slice of the good life.
what fuckin planet are you living on pal? that town is the most fucked place in america as far as opportunity and employment and over half the population is addicted to oxy's.
I hear that from alot of students about her. I know some people that have had problems with her also. Get back in school though. Its more important than you think. Do whatever you got to do. Get in another school.
My husband was born in NC and we visit every year. I love this town; the best food, the most hospitable and loving people in the world and the serenity of a small-town. Try surviving in California these days; the traffic, the crowds, there's no connection between people, don't have a clue who your neighbors are.
I lived here for 56 years---yes it could be better---but it could be a lot worse. It's home and I've raised my children here and am happy that they had the pleasure of experiencing New Castle. For those of you who hate it--demean it--and generally make fun of it.THERE ARE NO GATES KEEPING YOU IN.
New Castle is the worst city in the USA. Why do you think he took photos of McDonalds or PO lunch and Coney Island? because there is jack squat in that dumphole town. Do yourself a favor and move out of that trainwreck city. So much corruption and greed in the city/county government levels that city will NEVER get on it's feet. Burn it down, bulldoze it into cascade quarry and start over again. Only this time keep out the mafia.
new castle is boring these days only thing to do is jump off the falls and i see we got pix of the old highschool they put the new one in ... well the only thing to do in new castle is jump the falls n shit but na we cant u get the police called on u this town is hella wack... tho i did come back from az my choice
we got another empty buildin we aint gonna use from da old taco bell the only thing good in this was like cascade n jumpin off the fallls n dats bout it...
fuck this town. i just lost my job at elliot brothers steel and who gives a shit. nio one. just anouther empty building sitting in a shit hole. hope no one else looses their job cause the only place hiring now is wallmart. my home town SUCKS!
i hate it down here now restaurants look like crap and everyone sucks no friends what so ever new castle gone down toobs it sad i cant even find my friends anymore
east side sucks mean pagelys is a total dump stores close way 2 early bunch drug addicts wierdos in here i hate it i get scared walking around my own hometown and its a ghost town now
Let me get 1 thing straight with all of you! Whoever made this video, your a quite sad person! You portrayed NC in this video to be a Sad Poor Place! NO NO NO! Not really! This is the most Prejudiced places in Lawrence County!!!! And they continue to Degrade people life, and raise taxes!! New Castle was just portrayed as a Broke Down horrible place, but it's not! How about you should have shown the Nicer Parts of Town
I'm with you Josh. Even though this video brought back lots of memories, I too wondered why all of the pictures were of the broken down old buildings. They redid the down town area and it looks really nice. I graduated from Ne-Ca-Hi in 1967. I have lots of fond memories of New Castle. I do agree with a lot of comments here, but I think folks should look on the positive side too.
Hm. New Castle...Where I grew up. It's actually not as bad as people make it out to be...But, it is pretty boring at times. The only places to go around there is like, WalMart and the movie theatre. ha.
the only nice parts of this video are the stuff that is outside of new castle. Sure new castle is a great place to live. If you dont mind crackheads and people who would stab their own mother for an oxycontin. And if your idea of fun is a night at one of the many bingo halls. Or maybe you wanna walk around the empty mall that would be a blast. Oh and if you ever wished that your town had a pharmacy on every corner of every street this is definately the town for you.
new castle has to many italians running the city..we need more diversity..to reflect the city..and stop the flow of illegal drugs..we need a black mayor..
NEW CASTLE FOR LIFE!!!!! Its not the best place, its not the worst place. i love it!!!!! the new high school is soo awesome! I cant wait to see the high school half!
NC sucks now! It was nice in the 80's but now is a complete crap hole. My still lives there and all i see when i go visit her are prostitues and drug addicts! New Castle sucks big time! I would never raise a kind in that city, hell your probably better off living in Youngstown now a days.
It's really funny you mention the homes blowing up. (My parents live near there.) I lived my whole live in New Castle and now live in Occupied Palestine. I have to agree with Hunkola. New Castle is the Best Place to live. Period.
Yes! I am, I went to college in 68 and married my childhood sweetheart in 69. We lived in Chicago that time an witness all the changes. You did a good job with your video, it was moving. I guess I got a bit carried away in my comments. Sometimes it's so hard looking back, knowing what migth have been.

I happen to love New Castle. I was born and raised there. I got married and moved to Boardman, OH back in 1984, but New Castle will always be "home" to me. It is really sad to see so many bad comments about New Castle. Sure, it is different now than it used to be years ago, but that can be said about ANY PLACE. Nothing in life stays the same, everything changes. My family still lives there, so I go there often. I will always hold New Castle dear to my heart.

We picked the amishes field corn and sold sweet corn for a dollar a dozen door to door, we were enterprising. Capitolism working. I may never get to see my hometown again but through these pics. We were poor but very happy. I would love to see the pics of the old Pierces Cafe. Coffee Hanna's old shop, the black whale, Murphy's 5 and 10, Mike and Sophie Iabella's restaurant,Washington elementary, Isalys and the old houses up on Croton Ave

I was born and raised in NC. Born on the south side. Lived mostly on North Hill. Moved away in 1999. Have a farm in West Middlesex. NC was great however, during the 90's, it started going downhill. No jobs, too many "paisons" in county and school board. Too much old money still there. Only thing left there is old farts and crack heads and the old italian families where nepotism has run and still runs rampant.
Its a shame that the city pride has taken a dump.

Very sad. Regardless of who or what is to blame for this once great city's decline it is a shame to see this. Springsteen may have written this song about a town in Jersey, but I always thought it described New Castle perfectly. We lived on the North Hill and I graduated from Ne-Ca-Hi in 1981 (my class doesn't even bother with reunions). My whole family had no choice but to leave as the place got worse and worse. Hard to miss what isn't there anymore.

New Castle has some nice looking homes (northside) but if you check the prices of those nice homes they are way underpriced. Reason, because its a shit hole town. I lived in a rural area most of my life and plan on finding my own spread out in the country. My neighbors leave trash out on there side porch and it slumps over and they just leave it for weeks and keep piling it up. Dirty diapers broken bottles ect. Then the other neighbors undisciplined dogs rip it up. I get depressed here.

Politics in this city do suck. New Castle doesnt offer it's people anything. Walmart is the biggest thing in town. My stepbrothers car got stolen. I went to Walmart to find it...and found it. Thats the only place where people go. As soon as I pulled in the lane and just got there, the guy who stole the car pulled in a parking lot as I was looking in my rear view mirror. He took off running and disappeared.

New Castle is the best place on Earth to call home! It's a great place to raise kids, build a nice house, and get a great education. It is very low on crime and corruption. There are a ton of jobs for all skill levels. Lots of places to socialize and enjoy a night on the town. I have very fond memories of growing up here. If you are tired of the urban misery, move to New Castle and enjoy a slice of the good life.

New Castle is the worst city in the USA. Why do you think he took photos of McDonalds or PO lunch and Coney Island? because there is jack squat in that dumphole town. Do yourself a favor and move out of that trainwreck city. So much corruption and greed in the city/county government levels that city will NEVER get on it's feet. Burn it down, bulldoze it into cascade quarry and start over again. Only this time keep out the mafia.

I'm with you Josh. Even though this video brought back lots of memories, I too wondered why all of the pictures were of the broken down old buildings. They redid the down town area and it looks really nice. I graduated from Ne-Ca-Hi in 1967. I have lots of fond memories of New Castle. I do agree with a lot of comments here, but I think folks should look on the positive side too.

the only nice parts of this video are the stuff that is outside of new castle. Sure new castle is a great place to live. If you dont mind crackheads and people who would stab their own mother for an oxycontin. And if your idea of fun is a night at one of the many bingo halls. Or maybe you wanna walk around the empty mall that would be a blast. Oh and if you ever wished that your town had a pharmacy on every corner of every street this is definately the town for you.
