Rickels was the worst. We had a store near us, the joke was that as soon as an employee knew their department, they moved them to a new one. They deserved to go out of business.

I remember when Home Depot moved in to our area, Channel Home Centers lost a lot of their business. Rickels then bought all the Channel locations. It seemed only a few months passed and Rickels had going out of business sales. It was sad that Godzilla stomped on the little guy.

Not true. An Uber with a NYC TLC plate can pick up drivers in Jersey, but Jersey drivers can no longer pick up in NYC without a TLC. I've gotten NYC TLC drivers MANY times. I once got picked up in Jersey by a TLC going to JFK and the driver explained the rules to me during the hour car ride. I used to live in Jersey right outside the Lincoln Tunnel and have had many TLC Ubers out in that area. I sometimes get them now out in the suburbs about 45 minutes from Manhattan, 30 minutes from Brooklyn, and 8 minutes from Staten Island.

Yup. My answer to OP was going to point out the “mostly old school Italian American” population of Clark. My ex’s stepfamily is from Clark and, more than once, I’ve heard at the dinner table references to the neighborhood potentially “changing”. Can’t imagine the convos when I wasn’t around.
