I grew up on Bergen St and I do remember those trolleys

@MooPotPie There is a 1947 Studebaker toward the very end. That seems to be the newest car in this film.

I like the guy at 2:03. He looks like he's had a few too many Manhattans.

this is amazing, i actually got to step foot in one of those trolleys since i found one abandoned. i have two pics of it on Flickr but youtube won't let me post the links, Its so interesting to see a place I'm relatively around in such a deferent era.

The Avon Theater, which opened in 1914, was torn down for a McDonald's in 1975. So much for the "great taste" if McDonald's!

This is more likely early 1940s.
