It is sad too. Paterson use to be beautiful. I'm even slightly reluctant to go to Garret Mountain anymore. And that Lambert Castle is wonderful to see.

Paterson use to be beautiful.

Paterson NEVER was "beautiful." It was merely a busy, industrail town that changed from lower middle class to underclass following deindustrialization.

Lambert castle has finally been restored and is now open to the public, after many delays and millions of dollars. The Great Falls is beautiful, just the falls. The ineffective Frank Lautenberg, Bill Bradley, Congressmen Robert A. Roe, and Bill Pascrell were never able to get federal funding and national park status for the Great Falls Historic District. Acutally Garrett mountain and Rifle Camp Park are in West Paterson. And Lambert Castle is Clifton.

Paterson is a dump. They even stole the Brass Handrails at St. John the Baptist Cathedral in Paterson
