Could someone recommend a history of Paterson or south New Jersey
generally (focusing on the period prior to the New Deal)?

Okay, okay, but on the bright side we have established new standards of
uninformedness about the area (and I am still firm in the conviction
that Yahoo! Maps does not tell all).

Thank you, that's a pretty expansive occupational history.

Update 2021:
Is Paterson doing good? We've been having some problems with political corruption on the West Coast, too.

NB: Don't recall that I've ever been to Secaucus or Paramus, either.

New Brunswick, Newark? They were all right.

Maybe I thought New Brunswick was more all right than Newark, I guess.

Hudson-Bergen or River Line? I don't count the Newark Subway.

Not a super fan of Chris Christie, either, but at least he *knows he's fat*, right?

Kean? Do you mean the elder, or the younger Kean?

"Dramarama" was not too bad either.

No, the state of New York is technically in America. It's just that your state
is kind of *more than technically* in America, right? Seems like this?

"Social phenomenology" like that is kind of deep.

It's more than phenomenological, too.
Many of the "unique traditions" of the Empire State cant it away from the American norm,
but surprisingly, the same is *none true* of the Garden State.
(This is a bit depressing in the era of Christie, but it's you we're talking about.)

It gets worse, latter-day Braff. Imagine that... once you had calculated the "parallax" from Rockefeller Center type stuff, NJ started to look something like *the very best deal possible*. (Your Rutgers is very similar to U of O, for example, but a lot better.)

"So... this is it? This is tops?"
Maybe what you get everywhere else, latter-day Braff, is heavily leavened with the not-so-very-good will of the "local establishment".
In NJ you can stand on your own two feet and see life for what it really is: awful.
