Before they upgraded there was a much smaller diner in that spot owned by the same family. It was pretty rundown and i think I remember the ceiling leaking when it rained.

I'm not sure about AJ and Bianca. It was a brief scene with striking construction workers manning a picket line (I think). Wow, you can really see how bad the roof is in the map you linked.

Thank you. I have no clue about the JC school board.

What a shame, especially since we really dont have a great bookstore in all of JC. That would have been an awesome B&N.
They did use the building for an external shot in the Sopranos.

The powerhouse was built in 1908 to power the Hudson & Manhattan Railroad, now called PATH, and was shut down way back in 1929. Been sitting there rotting away since then. There used to be 4 smokestacks up on the roof but they disappeared a few years ago. Shame they haven't developed it but that's JC I guess.

On what are you basing your assertion that Harrison is the least busy station in the system? According to the 2021 Path Ridership Report Christopher, 9th and 23rd all have significantly fewer daily passengers than Harrison.

Unless you bought a First Class ticket, we're all in this together. I have moved to another location in a car or even to another car in the case of MTA if I am finding someone particularly annoying. It's definitely not worth taking a chance that this is a belligerent, psycho just daring someone to say something. Mind your business, stay safe.

Reply to Scary experience with a homeless man asking for money in Newport mall. by Friendly_Listen6216
I had a similar experience several years ago on the MTA. Guy asked for a dollar. I gave it to him, which made the new focal point in his life. He got in my personal space and was getting louder, venting his frustration at the world but kind of aiming it all at me. I could see other passengers looking at me with that, "See what happens?" look on their faces. I was getting desperate so I slowly unzipped my gym bag just enough to slide my hand inside and I left it there. All I had in there was workout gear but I guess it made him question whether I might have a weapon so I he shut up and moved on. I was definitely in a cold sweat and since then I don't even see them when they ask.

I saw it a few times in the early 2000s. It was pretty cool. Not sure it's still there tho after the interpretive center was built.

It used to be called Railroad Ave until all the tracks were torn out in the 50s.
