Yeah Freddie! I traveled there a few times on 208 on my way to my childhood town of Hawthorne. And speaking of Nabisco building....my late uncle used to work there from 1975 through 1994 when he retired and moved to Florida. The company has also did a big retirement lunch party for him too and I was there. I soooooo growing up of seeing the building of Nabisco just right across my view from Hawthorne from during my past in the 70's!
Rt 208 is a good road to take. That road has no roundabouts and no traffic lights. The road has overpasses and bridges. Rt 17 didn’t connect to Passaic and Morris Counties. I 287 is in Morris county, you’re are correct. Along by the New York pathway with county’s with, Middlesex, Somerset, Morris, Passaic and Bergen Counties only. Rt 208 starts from Rt 4 and ends on I 287 before Rt 17, Tuxedo park and Suffen. Other towns require, what about Franklin Lakes, Maywood and Wyckoff. For example, like on Franklin Ave in Wyckoff and Franklin Lakes. By the area of Oakland. Rampo College in Mahwah is up over there. Rt 202 starts from the state to Maine, and ends by the state of Delaware. By the New England colonies.
You know Fred, I was thinking a lot about many of your recent videos; 208, Paterson Falls, Brookdale Park, Rutts Hut to Willowbrook... now you often say that you're not a tour guide however I've learned many new facts just watching your videos. I was brainstorming today and wondering if there are some ways to make more destination videos where you are at times more of a tour guide? You have a lot of local knowledge and a very pleasing voice, natural not Cousin Brucy artificial. Let's say I was interested in taking my family on a tour of some local digs maybe I could watch the video to prepare myself and give my family a heads up and lesser known facts of what to expect? I was thinking of the Sopranos pizza parlor that I had no idea of and was eager to share with family. Anyway just some preliminary thoughts to capitalize on your skills and talents
You're spot on about filming on overcast days! The lighting is more even with less high/low washouts
Fred, you make driving fun 😊 Didn't think that was possible in NJ 😁
Lol
I used to go to busines in Ha-ha-ha-Thorne 😅
I know 208 like the back of my hand. My Grandmother lives in Oakland, just of I-287 (the exit you get off at the end)
Nice!
