Wasn’t Irvington or Irving once a nice place? NJ has become a sink hole thanks to open borders and liberalism.
Irvington has been a **** hole for decades. Unless you knew your destination and planned a quick drop off and departure you took your chances.
Irvington’s only open boarder which has caused problems for it is its open boarder with Newark.
Yes it was when my dad was a kid. For awhile it was known to have some of the worst girl gangs in the country. It is full of gangs now. I wouldn’t go there. But then I very rarely go over the Raritan Bridge anymore. I prefer to stay close to the ocean. And I want out of my town where they don’t allow horses. I’ve looked into PA & their taxes are worse in some places. I just need to sell this house & find a farm where I can live in peace. (maybe)
Irvington was nice, about 50 years ago.
I used to take a shortcut on Lyons Ave to get from the Garden State Parkway to Newark Airport. The KFC on the corner had an armed guard.
