Actually,the first minute and a half is somewhere on Long Island,at a place called Glen Oaks,probably not far from NYC. My family moved from there to EB around 1956. The street in the second half of the clip is Halick Ct in the Lawrence Brook section of town,not far from Exit 9,NJTurnpike.

@BobGault Do you know the street and address from Glen Oaks, you can go on google earth and find that exact aparment, there all still there as co ops now. I see in your movie the tree's were small, you should see that area now , it looks really nice , the apartments still look the same, but the tree' s are huge. If you have the old street address id like to see if i can find it on goole earth and try and match it up to your old movies too. thanks.

@BobGault Thats so wierd, im watching the movie, and im thinking that looks like were i grew up , Glen Oaks Apartments , Queens, L. .I. , NY . Then i read your note below. Actually i grew up across the street in Grand Central Apartments. Did you go to school there? P.S 186 Castlewood School. Tell me if you remember Glen oaks, i lived there in 1954 thru 1965 .

Nice movie. East Brunswick is so hemmed in by development now, it probably feels as hectic as New York did in the 50's
