That’s too funny; one of my in-laws was a manager in Basics. (Remember when that was down there?)
His descriptions of the Kearny PD dealing with the Newark residents were absolutely hysterical, though depressing in hindsight.
Yeah, “Basics’’. I remember. They came and went in about a month. The place was poorly stocked, poorly kept and poorly run. Two of my cousins were Kearny Cops in the ‘80s. They retired a few years ago. name of Wilson. One was an asst. chief.
