I remember coming over the bridge when I was a kid and seeing giant boobs on the screen. Pretty cool when you're 10😨😨
Mom wasn't too happy

If it's the same Mike that volunteers every year for The Saint Stanislaus Church Fair, in Sayreville then we're talking about the same person, and yes, he treated my son great and was a great guy.
Yep. Same guy.
I ran the food tent for the St. Stan's carnival for about 6 years. The last year was... '17, maybe? I started when our girls were at SJV together.
I don't know about Delilah's but the location you're talking about was 3 blocks from my house. I remember the name Colonel Cooper's back in the day (50's & 60's). My grandmother lived right behind it and I was a block away from the Hospital.
A lot of my extended family went to St. Stan's.....even though my S'ville mom and grandparents went to Sacred Heart in SA. Sadly, I have been to St. Stan's cemetery a bunch of times over the past few years. That older generation is thinning out.
I'm told that back in the 70's & 80's things worked in reverse. Cars here on Staten Island were stolen and driven over the Bayonne & Goethals Bridges to be put on ships heading overseas.
I also grew up in Sayreville but I was a block away from So. Amboy and most of my friends were from So. Amboy. I did graduate from the first class in the new Sayreville HS. It opened when I was a Jr and the Sr's were housed in the old HS.Growing up in Sayreville I saw a million movies there, even some when it was Amboys Drive-In:
Anyways. this is one of the ideas they had in building a minor league ballpark there:
OMG, was your father named Frank (and called Moose) and you're grandmother's name Mary?

I went to Sacred Heart in SA. Class of 1960. May have known your relatives.
When I think of Sayreville I think of these things :
1. gentleman’s clubs on route 35 (Probably many of them were in south Amboy, not Sayreville).
2. Amboy cinemas (which ironically is not in either of the amboys)
3. Sunshine biscuit . Loved hyrdrox .
4 . Myles hartsfield and the football hazing scandal .
5. Bon Jovi
6. Morgan marina (not sure if this is Sayreville)

My younger brother (9 years) went to Arleth School in Morgan before going to Sayreville HS.
I believe my mom and her 3 siblings went to the SH school until 8th grade. If my math is correct, she may have finished 8th grade in 58'ish. However, her siblings were both younger and older.

Arleth School is on Washington Rd, do you mean Selover School?
One of my favorite memories is going to school in the morning and smell the cookies in the air. I could still smell them.
Actually, the current Head Football coach at SJV graduated with my younger son from Raritan HS. SJV great school and a couple of times I've called into WFAN and talked to Jerry Recco about HS playoffs with Jerry. His 1st cousin and my son are best friends and hit the local refreshments most weekends, lol. A couple times at the RAC Jerry would shoot the $hit about Rutgers Basketball with us.
Yes and lost a lot of money in the pinball machines they had.
What was the name of the school right by Rt9 southbound on Ernston Road that was for troubled kids? Across the road from the Sayrewoods Shopping Center?
Actually the opposite, they are considered Sayreville not South Amboy.
I remember growing up going to the Cinemas.
No idea what that is.
Myles has actually turned his entire life around since then, runs a local gym / workout facility along with obviously playing significant snaps in the league.
Most of the area hates the guy ironically.
It is in Sayreville technically, as is Browns, Viking, etc.
Just googled Amboys Drive-in:
Opened on July 11, 1957
Closed on Feb. 13, 1979
I remember seeing The Mysterians from 1957 at the Amboys Drive-in.
Front seat were Mom and Dad and in the back seat were my brother,
myself and the dog. My father had a two-toned 1956 Chevy Bel-Aire
at the time.

I don't know if that's true. He's actually a pretty decent guy, does some good charity work (Dorothea does more) and takes care of his people (family).
I take exception to your comment because I'm the only one here who actually knows the guy. SWMHS class of 80 doesn't hate him at all.
For those of you not familar with the area anymore, this is the latest step to connect the whole area from west of the parkway all the way to Raritan Waterfront park in South Amboy. There will be a walking path that connects the entire riverfront within the next 5 years and Riverton is finally making visible progress west of the Parkway after some 10 years of environmental remediation.
South Amboy Ferry construction is also about to start with a terminal being completed within the next 2 years. Just received another $8million in grants. .

Finally going bye-bye:
Amboy Cinemas in Sayreville finally being town down
Amboy Cinemas closed in 2005 and will be developed into a variety of retail, hotel, recreation, office and professional uses.

The Edison PD was the most corrupt police department in all of NJ (which actually means, all of the US). LOL!
My mom's side of the family comes from Sayreville. Heard lots of interesting local stories growing up. :)
