This is so tight. Hometown back in the day

I remember when the downtown historical hotel was the Welfare department with big lines outside back in 89 trough most of mid 90 era then gradually closed down.

My home town when I was 2!! This is awesome!

Thank you for posting this. There isn’t many old stockton videos. I grew up in Stockton and this brings back memories. I was born in 81.

Yo remember thirty nine cent hamburger stand? It was on Hammer I swear.

Downtown in the late 60's/early 70's is what I see when I look at videos like this. Remembering all of the stores/shops/banks that are now gone.

I moved to Stockton 1981 to the early 90s lived on tuxedo backyard faced the canal off of country club right down the street from the graduate. I liked it back then I moved up from Southern California but in the 90s I got the hell out of there.

Many of those buildings have been boarded up or torn down now. I hated when they tore down the old Greyhound Bus Depot. The town looked better back in the 1980's, when this video was made.

this is so great --please keep them coming.

I remember eating ice cream as a kid there thriftys😋 central Stockton my hood as a kid 💯

My town! Missin it from Los Angeles.

I remember back in the late 60s main st was so cute at xmas time . It was beter than ,people were nice not like now days

Thanks for the video, I was born here in Stockton in december 1987.

man it was great to see what kind of vehicles you would commonly see in those days again, I would rather see those type of cars over the cars of today

Doobie1975 .... I thought it was just me getting older.

I worked at the courthouse for yrs, I tell ppl its dead and scary after 5, so park close if you have to be there.

I loved going into Herb's surplus store back in the day. Never knew what kinds of goodies you'd find

What a cool video, sad to be reminded of how much nicer stockton used to be compared to now. I bet HERBS surplus and California firearms had alot of nice goodies. 1988 just Before california went to the shitter. Thanks for sharing

209 Stockton 😎

At 1:55 where Davis Piano workshop right next to it was my parents business started in the 90’s for over 20 years, unfortunately the abandoned building behind us were occupied by homeless and caught it on fire around 2013 that led to us to shutting down and we decided to call it quits. I remember growing up in that area watching everything and everyone pass by, the good and bad I’ve seen it all.

Damn it I was 8 years old at this point

I grew up at a house on Market st just after the train tracks. I was so hopinh you wouldve kept going east down market instead of turning, hoping i could possibly see my kid self playing in the yard. Downtown was my home and all of this is so framiliar to me, every street and every store. I would ride my bike with my father around downtown. A time gone by

My great grandparents are the Bottley's. I think Bottley's BBQ was on Market St. during this time, no?

This brings back so many memories as from my childhood

I was born in ‘88 but I’m not from the Central Valley. I recently moved here and couldn’t imagine how calm Stockton used to be. I like the time of Day the film was taken, the classic cars ppl drove, and just neat. I think Stockton is a great place to live still.

Bro! Stockton was as wild as could be in 88. Gangs everywhere, people got killed when the movie Colors played in Hammer Ranch. WSB, NGR, OPG, VPG, NSGC, SSS, BNG, KC, PBS, LCV, CLAY ST, SOUTH MOB, EAST SIDE HUSTLERS, and I know I'm forgetting many others.

Thanks for the video Terry. I hope all is well today 2021! Take care.

Wow no homeless, actually didn't look to bad I have been in Stockton since 87 and I must say entire California looks this way. They gave up the war on drugs

I came to Cali in 89 n since I was new in town n did not own a car, I was not able to go cruising downtown. We lived Northside by Angel Cruz park n pullium school. Only landmark I do remembered as a middle schooler as our yellow bus would take the long way home after being on that i5 highway coming from marshall middle was eldorado street. The old Chinese looking red roof was the welfare office. The other side by the water front was a restaurant with a nice view. Next to the ball park stadium used to be a high rise building that was vacant till they demolished it. We would used that area to launch our 14 foot aluminum boat. Winter at the square looking waterfront where the water ends were a hot spot for 20+ lber stripers where we anglers were fishing at 4am in the morning with all the fog n ish. What is tradition n still there is the Saturday food market under the hwy in front of the current welfare office now. Right in front of that Catholic church. Old memories only came back with a stimulus like this video here n we thanked you for allowing us to reminisce.

Does not look much different from now. The “ gentrification” has not reached the valley. Don’t know if Stockton will even become a hot real estate market for a boom to happen.

Thank you for sharing. We lived on South Harrison St.. Me and my friends used to go downtown and to the waterfront all the time. Was hoping to see us but didnt still very nice. 87-92.

Yeah, they used to congregate sometimes (1 or 2) outside of the KJOY studio in front of the Hotel Stockton at N. El Dorado. I once picked up a hooker a few blocks down at Hunter in front of the courthouse without knowing it (she was walking alone after midnight) and I took her back to her "corner" on Wilson Way. She didn't look like your typical hooker, so it didn't even occur to me until I was halfway home that I'd just had a hooker in my car. LOL Good times. I worked evenings at B101 or Oldies 101 in North Stockton at the time and was at the courthouse downtown paying a fine for a ticket when the lady walked by.

​@@ApartmentKing66yeah but homelessnes is getting out of control now since the early 2000's Stockton should make new businesses around that area and attract more visitors from around valley and local area. Overall Stockton could be better is just a little behind times.
