PERTH AMBOY – Two local authors compare vintage photography with their contemporary images in a new book that looks at Perth Amboy’s past and present.
Paul W. Wang and Katherine A. Massopust hope that their book, Then & Now: Perth Amboy, will “help people understand Perth Amboy’s rich history and that Perth Amboy is ever-changing.”
Among the book’s highlights, it includes photos from the Packer Hotel fire of 1969, the 1966 blizzard and the Cableworks fire; images of Bayview Park before it was remodeled and as it looks today; and photos from Fertigs, Sciortinos, King High, John Dyke, Jack M. Dudas and Barbara Booz.
