from Amazon. Paterson, Downtown Paterson and Paterson II contain extensive pics of early 1900 Paterson. Some shots as late as 2002... Westside Park and the submarine, City Hall, street scenes on Main, Market and Broadway.. The Falls, Hinchcliff Stadium, Lou Costello, the Fabian, Libby's,, the factories and dye houses (that my grandfather worked across from Falls View,, its all there. The pics from the late 60's on really capture the decline of Paterson,, the litter, grafetti, the desolate night scenes of downtown,, very sad indeed.. My Will includes money to be donated to the YMCA, a time and place near and dear as a kid growing up in Paterson... Maybe some youngster will be inspired to rise up and find the "pearl" inside the shell.. Jack
