I do remember that murder; it was shocking because it showed how far the ferals could go to commit crime (originally a carjacking, if I recall correctly). That is an exclusive mall, and one of the animals borrowed his mother’s car to get there.
I’ve only been to the Lautenberg station once, and it was crowded only because there was no parking yet at the new Giants Stadium (the old stadium was still being demolished). We had to get there by train after parking at the Lautenberg station.
Yes, those people left NYC for a suburban life with lower costs (where they could have cars); now that dream is crumbling here. Taxes are higher and car insurance is through the roof...
Yes, it was a hijacking originally. A couple, I think, were returning to their car after Christmas shopping. Yes, a very exclusive mall - one of the best in NJ.
Well, I’ve left. I’ll only be back to NYC to visit family or catch a show.
