Anything can happen in Jersey!
I remember years ago nothing was in between Lyndhurst and Secaucus but the Route 3 drive in and the WMCA antenna.
I think they’ll keep something there; they’ve built up the whole area (new roads, hotels, parks, and such), now they’re just waiting for people with discretionary income to show up. They should never have moved the Devils to Newark (not exactly teeming with hockey fans), and I’m glad to see Bergen County has kept the arena open (despite objections from NEwark & Essex County); now people have a choice as to where they’d like to see the circus or concerts (many book dates at both venues). When they were building “The Rock” in Newark they kept insisting there was enough business for both places (initially there was no mention of closing the Meadowlands arena); when it was finished they started pressing to close it, saying it was stealing business from them (they wanted to force working whites to patronize a black area). So far, so good; it was nice to see the NJ Nets escape to Brooklyn as well. They don’t go for that banana republic crap, and their owner knows that having blacks around doesn’t mean they can buy tickets to basketball games.
