Where The Hell Are All These People?

I've shopped at ...


for about 9 years now and every time I passed the business listing I would wonder where all these businesses were ...



I had never seen the lawyer or the accountant or the cigar shop. The center is small. How could I have missed all these places?

Turns out that in 9 years I had never noticed that there was a second floor.

This discovery led me to finally find out why the center is called Airport Plaza since the nearest airport is in Newark, nearly 30 miles away.

I learned there was an airport on the site in the late 1940s which mysteriously closed in the mid 1950s. You can see some interesting aerial shots of how the area looked then and what is looks like now  HERE
