I had relatives in Patterson (1930s - when it was nice), Clifton (1960s) when it was nice and other areas. What is unreal is how generally nice, usually intelligent people can vote for such corrupt idiots in NJ.
Ever been to Big Stash’s in Linden near Elizabeth?
Re Patterson and Clifton NJ in toe 30’s and 60’s, if you look at the demographics now, you’ll understand how the vote falls.
As hard as it is to believe East Orange used to be the home of serious high society back in the 20’s and 30’s.
