I do not like that it has become over-populated. Parking is difficult, single family homes are now multi family homes. Quality of life has decreased.

I am a Ridgewood resident; grow up here; moved here and there, then returned.

I like your Ridgewood videos. I never really go by Seneca Avenue much, whenever Igo to Ridgeood it's either Metropolitan or Fresh Pond Road.

It was the Bank Restaurant..My Grandma ate there daily it was owned by Terry and Nancy..I grew up there :-) My Grandfather owned and ran the store on the corner for years "Mooney" was the name.

 Video is total trash . History is lacking and this is an attempt to make fun of the urban plight .

I lived on Stockholm between Seneca and Cypress. They tore the apartment building in which I grew up down, the factory is now a public school and my elementary school, St. Aloysius is now part of the public school.

Basically wiped out most of my childhood (1963-1978).

Thanks for the video though!

It's great to see some of the beautiful classic Ridgewood buildings that my Great grandparents helped to build and it is also sad to see parts of the neighborhood deteriorate. I remember graduation from JHS93 being held at the Ridgewood theatre now closed.

Good video but for the fact you did not mention Cozy Shack Rice Pudding store.I believe it was located between Stanhope and Himrod Streets back in the late 60s and early 70s.

Thank you so much!! I now live 220 miles away, but I lived on Seneca from 98-2001 and all over queens and some Brooklyn for 16 years. It's nice to reminisce!!

lived in this neighborhood for 3 years, 2006-2011, aside from getting so ghetto, it is the most depressimg place to live, I would never return here if they paid my rent.

Great video. My wife and here two sisters grew up in an apartment on the corner of Seneca and Gates. We met just up the street from Seneca Chapel on Greene Avenue. We were married in St. Johns United Methodist in 1970. My father, my sister, and my wife were graduates of Grover Cleveland HS.
