Wow. I used to live in Pal Park. I loved growing up in NJ and am doing well, but when my boy graduates in 5 years I am out of here. Damn shame. Great memories, but at some point you are just burning money in a trash can
I lived in Pal Park (over a church building) on Central Blvd for the seven years prior to moving down here to NC. Don’t know how old you are, but the Leonia youth football league was comprised of boys from both Leonia and Palisades Park and I played with a bunch of kids for there.
Best pizza I’ve ever had was from Donna’s Pizza on Broad Ave (every time I go back, I have to stop in—Donna used to bake and deliver the pizza himself when he first started out back in the 60’s). I also try to hit the Pal Park Bakery and get some boston creme doughnuts — geez, those things were good!
The town is now about 50-60% Korean.
