lol that video makes it seem like NJ owns the Statue of Liberty.
I found a pretty cool video about Long Island made in the 50s. It's basically not much different, except it's a lot more built-up than the video shows since it was so long ago:

The statue liberty is owned by NY but it's in Jersey technically.. Its on Jersey's side of the river. Thats why it showed Jersey City in the background. Liberty Park is also in Jersey City.
and,
I like the two videos, especially the Queens one

Thanks..I know this video is sort of off-topic, but I thought people might be interested in it. It's the 1939 world's fair held in NY--a very high quality color video that you wouldn't expect is from 1939.
I took the liberty of copying the lyrics below, in case they're hard to follow in the video. Maybe you have to be a Jersey resident, but I found this to be hilarious.
Jersey, stand up! We've been disrespected for way too long. They say we're the arm pit of this country, but we're the Brad Pitt of this country, listen to Pamgelina.
This is the Garden State, but I ain't that scrub from "Scrubs" the chubby wonder thunder thighs makin' it rain when they rub
Come and show me some love, strip mall and to the strip club, fattest Mall Rat that's all that and a big bag of Funyons
Wasn't born to run, I was born to be flossin,' beat boxin' at Seaside while eating sweet sausage.
The kings are from Queens, but the Queen's from Secaucus. I fired Springsteen now you can call me the boss
'Cuz I swerve down the Turnpike, flippin y'all the birdie, when I'm thirsty the jerkoffs from "Clerks" serve me slurpees
Call me curvy Fergie, N-J's favorite daughter, wrip clothes in zip codes with no eating disorders
Stick a fork in New Yorkers, California is corny, Midwest is depressing, the South don't make my mouth water like
Jersey, Jersey it's a hell of a state. Greasy spoon in my mouth, got the whole world on a plate in
Dirty Jersey, Dirty Jersey, Dirty Jersey, Dirty Jersey
Jersey, Jersey heavy meadow Soprano from the blacktops of Paterson to the Jackson Whites of Ramapo in
Dirty Jersey, Dirty Jersey, Dirty Jersey, Dirty Jersey
Sittin in my Cadillac, listenin' to Fleetwood Mac, Mayor McCheese the Big Mac attack of Hackensack.
The fleshy Joe Pesci Atlantic City black jack. My way Sinatra's got a crew they call the Fat Pack
Freestyle with Bon Jovi at the Stone Pony, played "Shoop" my new super group called Salt N Peppa-roni
Rollin' through Hoboken smokin' a stogey with Tony. I'm shining like a neon sign on a diner, homey
Sold out the Meadowlands, iced out like the Jersey Devils, man. I got more mental fans than metal bands with pentagrams.
I'm eatin Entenmann's mackin in my McMansion, man so dance to the toxic adventure to my chemical romance
They call me Jason Kidd, chin and **** a triple-double. Stock the fridge or you're in trouble, don't **** off this Bridge-and-Tunnel.
Jersey Jersey it's a hell of a place, raw like the Jersey Shore washed up with mad toxic waste in
Dirty Jersey, Dirty Jersey, Dirty Jersey, Dirty Jersey
Jersey Jersey, well there's nobody better, naughty by nature makin' paper like I was the Star-Ledger in
Dirty Jersey, Dirty Jersey, Dirty Jersey, Dirty Jersey
I've been with guidos from Clifton, preppies from Princeton, rich kids from Ridgewood, real 'hoods from Linden.
They court me in Fort Lee, they rock me in Moonachie, They like their shorties portly, plus-sized busts and stocky.
Big bonein in Bayonne, in parking lots after dark, Park Ridge, Glen Ridge, Englewood Cliffs and Cliffside Park
I'm mammoth in Monmouth, Toms River and Montclair, The gouma of Dumont, ooh god they love me there.
Players of Passaic, I drive 'em all bananas, Goo goo g'joop I am the Walnuts Paulie in Paramus
I do work in Newark, their Camden fantasy, They like to keep the lights off when they Wyckoff to me
Sweet talkin' in Weehawken, kissin in Parsippany, I'm representin' Trenton from now until infinity.
Jersey Jersey with my man Uncle Floyd, oh I wish they all could be Jersey boys in
Dirty Jersey, Dirty Jersey, Dirty Jersey, Dirty Jersey
Jersey Jersey bow down to the queen, sippin my chalice in my palace up on Route 17 in
Dirty Jersey, Dirty Jersey, Dirty Jersey, Dirty Jer.... (cut off in a Sopranos-like ending)

You mean the very beginning with the houses? If you mean that scene, I'm guessing somewhere probably on the north shore of Suffolk. I would love to know where many of those videos were taken. Maybe I'll post this on the Long Island board and ask that

Definitely do that. It sucks that I've lived on Long Island all my life and I feel like I had more of a Queens experience than a Long Island experience. I'm moving to my dads house in Queens in a week and prolly wont ever be back out on the Island unless my dad decides to move out there since most of my family is moving to PA.
Buffalo: I really want to visit Buffalo one day. Seems like a nice place.
