LOL good God. Facepalm.
Newport is such a lost opportunity on so many levels. Close to two PATH stations literally 5 minutes from Manhattan plus two HBLR stations, yet so car-oriented and sterile and dead at street level. Acres of parking lots, and that 6-lane highway that passes for a "Boulevard." It's like a Manhattan snob's ill-conceived stereotype of what "Jersey" is about, come to life.
This site is a 6 minute walk to Hoboken PATH. This is their last chance at redemption. They better not blow it!
