Wasn’t NJ the First “Hollywood” to begin with?

Yes, Edgewater area I think

Nj was the birthplace of motion pictures

Yes, and they moved everything to California because Thomas Edison was a litigious super dick!

At one time Fort Lee was the motion picture capital of the US

Yep so our state government should encourage Amtrak or NJT to open Newark airport station to the public if this thing gets built, and we need more housing in the area too. I imagine a lot of people will be moving to Newark once this thing is built. Imagine famous actors owning an apartment in Newark

I’m going to assume that you mean that the Newark Liberty stop should be made accessible from its neighborhood, instead of being only accessible as a transfer point from trains on the NEC. I couldn’t agree more but also think this should’ve been built as a normal rail stop

It will be interesting to see how it all pans out, but it is exciting. I work on the post production side and hope some of the work stays on the east coast.
