Yup on what we people in Jersey City called the back highway ( 440)

That would be "2 Guys From Harrison", later shortened to "2 Guys".

Used to go to the 2 Guys on Rt. 35 in Middletown and to the Belvidere pool and roller rink in Keansburg.

There used to be a ferry service from Keansburg to NYC and a pier with music and dancing on the week-ends in the 30's and 40's.
