I had heard years ago that the semi frequent non weather related outages are due to that substation being in desperate need of upgrade by nearby residents are blocking it.

When I lived in Parsippany I think the only outage I ever experienced was about 10 min during the height of Sandy. But since moving here I have had several outages a year consistently.

I lived in Bloomfield for a while and was so amazed whenever I drove past this building. It just screams "horror film." When I looked it up, I was surprised it was out of use for so long and only in one film. Honestly excited it's being celebrated in this film.

Oh and tangent... I hoped to find local legends and such when I researched it. But as I recall, I could only find accounts of former patients who had fond memories of excellent caregiving as children with infectious diseases.

It's about 90 mins from Newark to Wilmington , it's doable once or twice a week any more than that, and I'd just move to Wilmington or Philly. Philly is an hour by SEPTA from Wilmington or a hr from NYC on Amtrak...and much cheaper than living in JC.

I havent travelled on Amtrak, but they are mostly on time while i was waiting for NJTransit train to NYC. Check the Amtrak website for tracking time. NJTransit and Amtrak share track(Amtrak owns the track) between NYC and Trenton.

From Jersey city you have to take PATH train to Newark penn and catch Amtrak. Try google map with transit option
